Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, with stunning views of the Kyoto River and the distant mountains. The rooms were cozy and had balconies offering a great spot to enjoy the scenery. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience at the rooftop Italian restaurant was extraordinary. On the downside, the price was on the higher side, but the value you get is worth it for such a unique experience.
This hotel is a hidden gem! Nestled right on the river bank, with majestic mountains in the backdrop, it offers a serene and peaceful stay. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. However, the dining selection is limited, and some facilities could use a bit of an upgrade.
