Great hotel, full of Japanese details in the room, very spacious, complementary mini bar was nice to have. Few hotel amenities and the restaurant breakfast menu is limited, other than that, it was fantastic and I would stay again. I wish the staff would offer the VIP perks.

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and the breakfast in the morning is very very good. My only complaint is that there is no common area where you can sit. The lobby has one small seating area but I felt like the hotel needed something more where people can chill and use their laptop. I think there was a coworking space in the ground floor but it was closed off for everyone.

The air-conditioning unit had black mold on it. We requested for it to be cleaned and were assured by staff that it would be, but it was never cleaned. There were times we had left rubbish neatly next to the bin to be cleaned when the room was cleaned and the bin was full, and everytime the extra rubbish wasn't taken. We ended up disposing of our own rubbish instead. There was maintenance taking place on the day we were meant to check out which meant that no late checkout was available and that no electronics such as the toilets or the lifts would be working. This was incredibly inconvenient and led us to check out a day early and move to a different hotel. Overall, we were highly disappointed with the service and cleanliness at this hotel and would unfortunately not stay again.

Great access to the Marutamachi subway (literally next door!). The entrance was less upscale than expected, however once entered, have a mostly 4-star feel. We found it a bit on the darker side in both decor and natural lighting. Elevators were very small. However, professional and helpful staff. Room was VERY clean and presented a more traditional Japanese decor references (like a samurai art piece in a display case in our room). Great details! They included good quality complementary products like non-drying body wash, shampoo and conditioner. As well of incidentals that you may have forgotten like toothbrush, individually wrapped both cloths, etc. Had a nice coffee and tea station. Large room 2-twin beds room! Mini fridge. Comcast tv for watching Netflix, etc. We stayed 6 days! Very comfortable and quiet. We recommend this hotel based on location, room size, cleanliness, and helpful staff.

We cannot recommend this hotel enough. The staff were extremely courteous, welcoming and helpful. A special thanks to the Noku Cafe staff who accommodated our dietary restrictions for breakfast. The level of cleanliness in the room, hallways and lobby puts to shame hotels that charge at least double in Europe, the US and Canada. We had no issue with noise level at all and the bed was so comfortable. We appreciated the complimentary slippers and pajamas and that the bathroom was equipped with a bidet. The location was excellent as it is steps away from the Marutamachi - Karasuma subway and bus stations which made navigating around Kyoto really easy. We most certainly would book here again if we return to Kyoto.
