"The hotel has a good location near the subway and other options. Limousine bus has a direct drop off/pick up at the hotel. Everything appeared very clean, and the staff were good and attentive. Self check in and check out. Didn't interact with anybody during those processes. But we did talk to staff at other times and all was good. Very small room, and not enough storage in the room, but it was otherwise functional and comfortable. Air conditioner turned itself off and not turning back on unless you hit the button for various reasons; not sure about all why in some cases. Included breakfast was good and they did open up the dining room up to 10 minutes early which was helpful on our last day when we had a train to catch."
"Located only a couple of blocks from the main train station, this hotel was a great pick. Incredibly clean as you must take your shoes off at the entrance and roll your luggage through water before entering the lobby, and your room. The variety of hot springs baths you can choose from and the extras, such as evening noodles, ice creams and massage chairs make this a great place for families to stay. There are a number of reasonably priced restaurants nearby along with a token Don Quijote just down the street. Also on the same road as public buses 205 and 206 which take you to the tourist attractions such as the golden Pavillon. "
"We stayed in a Luxury Corner King room and were not disappointed. The views from the giant windows were amazing and the interior space was quite adequate. The bed was quite firm - maybe too firm for some. The amenities are quite good - the Sky Spa onsen on the top (31st) floor offers amazing views, even from the sauna, and a relaxing environment. The breakfast buffet was quite good and also offers great views but was overcrowded on the Sunday morning of our stay - some (overseas) guests had less than ideal manners. There's a large coin laundry on the 31st floor that is very handy and never seemed overly busy. Status of the laundry machines can be checked on the in-room televisions and online using a QR code. There is a modest fitness room on the 31st floor as well - great views but limited strength equipment.
The location is quite convenient generally but is an appreciable distance from the train and metro stations that are of most use to travellers. Not an issue unless the weather is inclement or it is the height of the rush hour on the Midosuji Line (nearest metro line, Yodoayabashi station, 300 m away)."
