What I didn’t like was the bedding, which was very hard, the pillows, which were stiff, the lack of adequate air conditioning, and the entire key system, which was too complicated. The location was wonderful and the staff very helpful and polite. The grounds were beautiful, especially the restaurant which had views of a koi pond and gardens.

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel was big and could appear luxurious but it wasn’t, the rooms were old and musty. Not the best place, it wasn’t horrible. It did its job. I think the worst part was how rude the male staff was there, we seemed to inconvenience them a lot, seemed annoyed and not welcoming at all. No amenities really available. The location is okay, 10 min from a subway station, 3 min from imperial palace but other than that, it was not what we hoped for. We will not return.

The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the subway which was convenient. Check in was quick and the staff were very nice. The room is a bit outdated - you need an actual key to open the door and need to return it to the front desk every day. The smoking room really reeked of smoke even for a smoking room it was not aired out at all and the temperature was way too hot, we had to adjust ourselves and leave for a few hours for it to be tolerable. There is no laundry facility onsite even though Google says otherwise. Not a lot of dining options available in the area.

The property is an older style wedding venue and conference centre. There is no laundry service, no room service and they only give you one key. If more than one person needs the key you leave it at the front desk and ask for it when you get back. It is an actual key. There is no shuttle bus or local transport bus station outside. The nearest subway station is a 10 minute walk. The nearest bus stop is a 15 minute walk. Walking to Kyoto station is about an hour. If you don't want to walk don't stay here. The area is beautiful. Across from the palace and the side streets have lots to offer. The staff were ok but looked tired like the rest of the place and the corridors have a funny smell. 5 days here was a challenge.
