The hotel is in a great location, close to the shopping district in Kyoto and right next to a subway station. The rooms offer good beds and amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay. The service provided, including dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry, is excellent. The dining experience, featuring Korean dishes, adds a unique touch to the stay. Although the price may be a bit high, the value for money is certainly worth it.
The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Kyoto, with easy access to the shopping district and just a stone's throw away from the metro station. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and offer a comfortable stay. The service is top-notch, with efficient housekeeping and laundry services. However, the dining options are simple, and the facilities are adequate but not extravagant. Overall, it's a great value for money choice for a stay in Kyoto.
I stayed at this hotel and loved the location near the shopping street and close to shops and transport. The rooms were comfortable and had all the amenities I needed, but the price was a bit high. The service, especially the dry cleaning and housekeeping, was exceptional. The dining experience with fresh coffee was a nice touch, but the facilities were somewhat lacking. Overall, a good stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel is a true gem with its unbeatable location next to the subway and surrounded by numerous restaurants. The rooms are spacious, modern, and equipped with all amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The service is top-notch, offering excellent dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry services. While the dining options, especially the beef dishes, were outstanding, the overall price for the experience provided great value for money.
This hotel is a gem! The rooms are comfy, the service is top-notch, and the location is perfect. However, dining could be improved, and a few facilities need a little TLC. Overall, a great stay!
