This was one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in. Each room is unique and is put together with so much thought. The hotel itself is spotless and offers plenty of amenities. There's even a cafe on the top floor with great quality coffee. The staff was helpful with every request we had, and helped facilitate our luggage forwarding. The location can't be beat. I would recommend to anyone staying in Kyoto!
