The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. Room service was excellent — prompt, discreet, and attentive to details, which made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. Breakfast was not overly varied but everything was absolutely delicious, with high-quality ingredients and careful preparation. We stayed for five days and never got tired of the breakfast offerings. The hotel also features a rooftop bar and lounge with impressive views of the Takase River and the cityscape — a perfect place to relax in the evening. The interior design combines modern comfort with subtle traditional touches, creating a warm and refined atmosphere. Overall, this hotel offers a perfect balance of location, comfort, and hospitality. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto.
