Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
very clean, large room with a great balcony. Very close to everything but a couple blocks away so it is quieter and easier to get cabs, etc. coffee shop ext door!
Excellent room layout for 4 adults. Great amenities. Adult kids slept in tatami room on futons and said it was comfortable. Good location for trains subway and buses. Walkable to shopping and dining.
We stayed here for 4 nights. The apartmenr is very roomy and great location. 10 min walk to a massive shopping district and a grocery store around the corner (fresco).
The apartment came with pretty much everything needed to cook basic meals
Well equipped, if somewhat spartan. Comfortable beds.
Great location - close to many museums, temples, shrines & lots of ships just on the other side of the river.
Very close to Sanjo Station.
The hotel itself is great and it was easy to get to the train station, and quieter than staying on the other side of the river. That being said - if you’re on the basement level, there was an extremely weird smell in the hallway that was seeping into our room on the first day. Thankfully, once we got the AC turned on and sprayed some air freshener, it helped - but it was pretty awful in the hallway the whole time.
Clean and spacious room for our family! Great location with convenient access to transit. Was a little disappointed the hot tub and sauna were too hot to enjoy ☹️
Nice to have laundry in the room, very convenient. Our 2 rooms were nice and big. We take our shoes off, so a little weird to have the bathroom and entry hall in between the two rooms. Love the big room.
The main problem with this hotel is there is no staff manning the front desk/reception. Every time we needed assistance we had to use the iPad to video call someone who would try and help, this was not a great process. When travelling in a foreign country we like having the front desk to help assist with not just our needs at the hotel but their knowledge and tips navigating their city. The room itself is spacious and well configured.
