Property was great, generally well-kept and very comfortable. The room was extremely spacious and good value for money. It would have been nice if the pool facilities were included in the price of the room rather than an extra. Location is close enough to Kyoton Station with a shuttle available too. Overall, we would recommend this hotel.

A beautiful hotel, and the staff was very courteous. I'd stay there again but choose a different room. The Executive Junior Suite that we chose was quite outdated and the furniture in need of replacement. The room was very spacious with a separate sitting room from the bedroom.
