I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and luxurious with large open baths resembling a hot spring, lovely sofas, and a view of the beautiful private garden. The service was exceptional with very warm hospitality and a nice welcome drink. The location was perfect, just a short distance from Kyoto station in a traditional neighborhood. The dining experience was outstanding, with delicious prime steaks. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable. However, the price was a bit on the higher side, but considering all the amenities, it was definitely value for money.
