I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with comfortable rooms featuring modern Japanese conveniences and a lovely 'garden' view. The staff was attentive and helpful, making my experience even better. The location was ideal, situated around a small tree-lined stream, though I did find it challenging due to limited English stations. The dining experience was enjoyable with scones included, and overall, the facilities were great.

This hotel offers a unique experience with a grand Kyoto sightseeing opportunity, cozy living space separated by a screen from the beds, and a lovely view of the inner garden. While the view of a homeless person under the bridge could be a bit unsettling, the three comfortable beds of the same size make the stay enjoyable.

The hotel offers a unique view of a homeless person living under the bridge for a grand Kyoto sightseeing experience. The rooms are equipped with a bathtub and provide a garden view, although the beds are separated by a screen. The dining experience includes organic vegetables, which adds a healthy touch to meals. On the downside, the facilities may not meet all expectations.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Kyoto. The rooms offer a grand view of the city, including a sight of a homeless person under the bridge, and my room even had a bathtub with a lovely garden view. The overall experience was enhanced by the nice and great views of the inner garden. However, the presence of the homeless person was a bit unsettling, even though the views and amenities were enjoyable.

The hotel is ideally situated around a small tree-lined stream, making it very convenient and close to some great sights. The rooms offer a lovely view but have uncomfortable seating. The service is exceptional with thorough housekeeping and helpful tour/ticket assistance. Dining includes a delightful steak, and the facilities are top-notch. The only downside is the slightly high cost for the value provided.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were lovely and clean with a real walled garden view out of the bathroom, and the bathroom itself was nice, providing a great view of the inner garden. However, the view of a homeless person living under the bridge right outside the hotel was quite disturbing during my stay in Kyoto.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms offered a unique view of a homeless living under the bridge, which was not ideal, but the inner garden view from my room was stunning. The service was satisfactory, with helpful housekeeping and tour assistance. The location, right on the river, provided easy access to the geisha district and nearby shops and restaurants. The dining options, although not included, offered some tasty snacks. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel is nestled in a very convenient area with a beautiful bath view of the inner garden, offering a quiet and comfortable stay. While the hotel is close to the night life, it remains peaceful.
