Exceptionally polite staff, had very relaxing stay!!!

True luxury and modern hotel, liked our stay here. Stylish and immaculately clean rooms with an incredible bathroom, garden view, for example, felt like home. An electric kettle, a fridge, and glassware were available. The location was magnificent, just a pleasant stroll away from Yasaka Shrine. The restaurant was located within 500 metres.
