This is so far THE BEST hotel stay for me of all my visits to Japan for more than 5 times!
The room is incredibly spacious and extremely clean. Each bed has TWO LARGE pillows, not the lousy tiny pillows you see at other hotels, one SOFT and one FIRM pillow.
There is an an exercise room on the 3rd floor, as where you can get ice and microwave your food, as well as a vending machine. I have to admit there is only ONE microwave for the entire hotel, but really, why would you want to eat microwave food when visiting Japan? There is an ice cold/filtered water dispenser on every floor!
I didn't try the public bath on the 13th floor, because I don't like public baths :-) And I didn't try the restaurant food on the 2nd floor.
The lobby is small compared to most major hotels like the Hilton, etc., but it is so relaxing with nice music and a barista is there to take your coffee order(s), a bit pricey, though.
The staff is AMAZING nice and friendly supportive.
I definitely come back again! If you want to have the best experience of staying in Kyoto, stay at this hotel -- excellent rooms and affordable!
