The hotel offers a wonderful experience with its unbeatable location at the foot of the path to Kiyomizu-Dera, making it easy for me to visit the temple without battling crowds. The room was a bit off-putting due to a strong smell from the decorations, which made my stay less than ideal. While the service was helpful and attentive, the overall experience fell slightly short of perfection. The hotel is great for its amenities, but I felt the rooms could use a bit more attention to detail.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, as it is nicely situated near Kiyomizu-Dera, which made it convenient to visit without the usual crowds. The room itself was clean, but there was a strong smell from the decoration, which was quite distracting. Although the staff was helpful during my stay, particularly when they escorted me to my room and assisted with my needs, the aroma in the room made it less enjoyable. Still, the value for the location is pretty good.

I had a pleasant experience at the hotel overall. The facilities were well-designed and offered a great ambiance for relaxation. My room was quite comfortable, though it didn’t feel as modern as I expected. The service was attentive and welcoming, making my stay more enjoyable. However, I found the dining options quite limited, particularly at breakfast. The hotel does have some imperfections, but it's an excellent choice for a relaxing getaway.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location is unbeatable, right at the foot of the path to Kiyomizu-Dera, making it so convenient to explore the area without having to deal with the crowds. While the rooms were generally clean and had a comfortable feel, there was an overpowering smell from the decor that was hard to ignore. The staff had mixed levels of friendliness, with some positively attentive and others less so, which made for an inconsistent service experience overall.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is beautifully located right at the foot of Kiyomizu-Dera. The rooms were comfortable, though I noticed a strong smell from the decoration that was a little overwhelming. The spa facilities were fantastic, offering a wide range of services that made my stay even more relaxing. However, the dining options left something to be desired as they were quite typical and not particularly exciting. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, but a few areas could use improvement.
