"This Hotel would get an 11 if there was one to give. It was a highlight of our 3 week trip, and we stayed in other top t"

10.0

Everything about the property we loved! When one arrives, it is Shoes off right away as you slip into Hotel slippers. You step through a portal into Japanese Culture and Hospitality. Every Staff member is freindly and helpful. The entire Hotel seems to be renovated and the ambiance is serene yet inviting. There are many Lobby Spaces in which to relax, and the traditional Onsen is has both inside and outside areas, so there is lots of room for solitude. The bedding, the Yukatas, the fabulous private onsen in our bathroom are all top quality. We stayed for three nights and our room was on a corner, so very light and spacious complete with Tatami floors which are so warm and comforting to walk upon. This Hotel is not huge nor too small either. It has a Boutique Luxury appeal. Coffee in the Lobby is a nice touch. We enjoyed its proximity to the Rottenburo Park just minutes away and the walkability to everything else. They offer a complimentary shuttle to and from the bus station. Plenty of umbrellas to borrow if it rains and all other hotel amenities required for an excellent stay. There is literally nothing to fault.

The only issue here is that they do not aspire to feed Vegetarians in their meal program, so we did not participate in the restaurant. I do not fault them for this, and realize that the level of perfection and service that is required for Japanese Cuisine is intricate and complicated. We knew this going in, so we ate our meals in other places, albeit difficult in Kusatsu with its very mountain and meat oriented cuisine.

"Excellent accomodation and friendly, staff. Would happily stay again."

9.0

Modern, clean and comfortable apartment. Excellent, friendly, very helpful staff. Excellent shower, with continuous, good pressure hot water. Convenient to bus and train links, which made getting around Kyoto very easy. As an added bonus, free coffee provided, which is great!

Living space in the apartment is “tight”, but then it’s probably the case for most accommodation in Japan and you’re only sleeping here anyway, so only a minor inconvenience.

"excellent! would stay again in a heartbeat!"

10.0

The unit has a mini kitchen and a genuine Japanese tea pot with tea cups and superb tea in the room...also coffee. We basically moved in for 5 nights and made it home. The windows open and there is a good mini split if needed. The staff were all fantastic and helped us out a lot. We loved the pajamas. We had many interesting talks with other clients in the small and friendly lobby. The location is on a quiet side street in a unique neighborhood. There is a traditional ceramic soaking tub with a shower which we enjoyed. Coffee is also in the lobby in the morning. The unit was a good size. This is a boutique hotel so if you want a version of Hilton or Marriott this is something very different, very Japanese and very special!

The futon was a bit too hard for us...we are thin and senior. Maybe a 1 inch tempurpedic topper would be nice.

"Amazing, would recommend and stay here again"

10.0

The staff were lovely, gave us great suggestions for dinner and always greeted us with an amazing attitude. The room was a great size for the 3 of us and came with a washing machine. The beds were comfortable and good size. The property was in a very convenient location with parking nearby and walkable to most areas.
