    Very generous room size based on Japan standards, the room amenities were good and location is close enough (within walking distance) to the main attractions while being amongst a more quiet part of Kyoto to relax in. We also used the luggage forwarding service which the hotel staff was very helpful with processing and explaining to us how to use it.

    The breakfast didn't cater for the halaal guests.

    I loved the hotel. The location of the train station was close. The staff were amazing, especially Mr. Moon he is a true asset to that establishment. We left our package in 1 of the taxis, and he managed to retrieve it for us. His an amazing person as well...super friendly. I have only 1 suggestion....please include a menu for the halaal guests as well. We felt short-changed during breakfast Other than that, they provided for an enjoyable stay. Of the 5 hotels we stayed at, my daughter loved the Asai the best.

    Room space quiet small lack of place to hanging clothes

    The room even though it’s tiny we won’t lie it’s manageable with cabin size luggage and a big bag but you need to be organised and clean. The bed tatami style is beautiful and the matelas and sheets are top notch comfort.

    At breakfast, you could choose from several set options, which were served as complete meals at the table. Most of the meal sets felt a bit too large for a breakfast. Also, I wished the curry option would change more often. The hotel was located in a quiet area. If you're looking to be right next to a busy shopping street, the location might not be ideal.

    The hotel is really clean. The beds were very comfortable, and even in the twin room, the mattresses could easily be pushed together. The air conditioning was very easy to use. The windows faced a quiet street. The natural light was a big plus!

    the walls are thin in some places so you can some times hear other rooms water running and im not sure if it was the time we went or if this is common but there where a lot of loud rings and beeps followed by police sirens outside late at night, if it was just the time we went then its not a big deal but it was strange hearing so much noise late at night.

    the rooms are very nice, the staff is so kind and the location was almost perfect for our group.

    A tweak to the menu options at breakfast.

    Can’t fault the experience, except to say a little more choice at breakfast for western palettes would have been good. It’s the only time of the day when I would prefer what I’m used to - fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, that type of thing.

    The windows are locked for safety. We would have really preferred to have the possibility to ventilate the room. I think the hotel should probably install window security bars instead. But that was the only thing we didn't like!

    You notice the beautiful design even before you enter. The lobby and rooms all have a pleasant smell, everything is warm and welcoming. The staff are all incredible! They went over and beyond to help us book a bus to the mountains by making a phone call in Japanese to the booking number. We were so grateful. The room is lovely and very comfortable, well thought of little details! Loads of activities in the lobby and fun nights at the hotel arranged by the staff. Great vibes. Perfect location, lots of izakayas around for a good dinner, and walking distance to both Kyoto station and the city centre. We would stay again!

    Not much! Wish they had laundry on site, but otherwise it was great.

    This was the best hotel we stayed at during our time in Japan. The location was prime and easy to walk to any area in Kyoto, but it was tucked away and didn't feel to busy. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and were great in assisting with getting our luggage transferred. The bar and restaurant were a great option if you don't feel like going out for a night either.

    Staff are a bit hands off, there isn’t a reception but rather just the restaurant and a small counter area for self-check in. I also agree with other reviews that they could do with a ramp for luggage

    Great location, comfortable rooms - compact but good use of space so we could have both of our suitcases open without feeling cramped.
