Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean and neat, although on the small side, they were convenient and flexible in terms of bedding arrangements. The service was extremely helpful and incredibly polite. The location was perfect for exploring different parts of the city, being near the imperial palace and with easy access to transportation. The dining experience offered Japanese and Western style cuisine, although some additional breakfast options would have been appreciated.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were absolutely amazing, with everything I needed right there. The service was super nice, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, close to major attractions like the Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle. The dining experience was a cultural adventure, though the breakfast options were a bit limited. Overall, a great value for money!
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and incredibly clean room, a real contrast to other places I've stayed in Japan. The bed was comfortable, and the modern decor made it a cozy stay. However, the room was a bit challenging to navigate with a large suitcase. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, especially when my husband needed some medical care. Their English skills were fantastic, making communication a breeze. The hotel’s location was perfect, offering easy access to different parts of the city with a short walk to the subway. We enjoyed a cozy nightcap in the hotel's bar and appreciated the unique shopping opportunities nearby. Although I wished for more dining variety, the proper Japanese food served was excellent. The facilities were top-notch, and we made great use of the laundry service during our stay.
