stylish hotel, a positive experience

convenient location city views complimentary drinks lounge ambiance
i found the hotel's location quite convenient, very near the river and pontocho street. the eighth-floor lobby bar and restaurant gave great city views. i especially enjoyed the complimentary drinks and snacks offered in their lounge. the bar had a nice ambiance and lovely city views, too.
The breakfast choices were a bit limited. I wished there was more variety each day.

A balanced stay overall

convenient location accessible restaurants close station repetitive breakfast declining quality refrigerated food
The hotel had a SUPER convenient location. I could walk to many restaurants within minutes. Gion was also easily accessible, maybe a short walk away. A metro station was also very close. This made getting around easy.
The breakfast was not so good. It was the SAME every day. The quality seemed to decline after the first couple of days. It seemed like it had been refrigerated. I expected better for the price I paid.

Acceptable Stay with Minor Issues

central location free snacks concierge desk luggage support
The hotel's location was central. It allowed easy access to Pontocho Alley and the Gion district. The top floor bar was a plus. A third-floor lounge also had free coffee, wine, and snacks in the afternoons.
There was no one to support with luggage upon arrival. The hotel lacked a concierge desk. Water was not automatically provided in the room. I had to request it.
