Great value
Very spacious room (BKK level gosh) and good value (honestly also BKK level), plus superb location (close to all sorts of transport and shopping area, yet still tranquil enough at night). No complaint and definitely my choice for another Kyoto trip.

Great upscale hotel with excellent staff. Large rooms with very nice bathroom with top of the line Toto toilet. Located in walking distance to Daimaru Dept store, and many quaint restaurants and bars. The breakfast buffet at the hotel was excellent. The housekeeping staff and hotel desk staff were polite and helpful. I would definitely book this hotel again.
