The rooms are spacious, well-equipped and clean, and are worthy of being the work of a famous master. The furniture has simple lines and calm colors, which are very textured, and perfectly blend with the building with a heavy sense of history. Guests linger in the lounge bar to taste exquisite snacks and rich drinks, and experience the old-fashioned, foreign-style time travel. The staff is warm and service-oriented.

As I had previously found out, the location, cleanliness, and facilities were good, but I was disappointed that there were some aspects of the service that I had expected (udon and ochazuke provided in the evening, and there was no staff serving whiskey at the bar).

This was another pleasant stay. The hospitality of the staff was also very good. The Marufukuro tour, which begins at the entrance and is told by the staff, is one of the perks of staying at the hotel. I hope you will find a heart, spade, diamond, and clover. The food at the restaurant Carta. was very delicious, and in addition to having breakfast every day, I also enjoyed dinner one night with friends. I also recommend the morning walk along the Kamo River. I participated in the Tsukiotoyo, and was able to return to the area near the hotel with just one bus from ****. I will use your services again when I go to Kyoto.

As a loyal user of Nintendo, I originally just came to check in at the old site of Nintendo, but the check-in experience was far beyond my expectations. I plan to stay here for a few days next time I come to Kyoto. Although it is an old building, the hardware facilities are very good. The architectural style is very retro and retains the feeling of the past. The display of Hanafuda, the library upstairs, Nintendo-related books and some old game consoles brought me back to the good memories of the past. The room area is very spacious for Japan. What is surprising is that the check-in treatment is very generous, which is much more generous than the Japanese hotels of the same price I have stayed in. Now many other hotels in Japan that are not low in price are very stingy, and drinking water is limited or even not provided at all in the name of environmental protection. But Marufukuro not only provides a free 24-hour lounge with various drinks, hotel snacks and fruits, but also a bar that runs until late at night. The small refrigerator in the room is also filled with various drinks and alcohol, potato chips, snacks, and can be added if not enough. This can be regarded as a generous in the hotel industry in Japan. Whether it is food and beverages or various supplies, it can be seen that many products of century-old brands have been specially selected. The tea bags and Japanese confectionery are from time-honored brands, the coffee cups are from Noritake, and the cold drink cups are pure copper cups with Shinko motifs. Even the texture of the toilet paper is better than some other hotels of the same price I have stayed in. All of these reflect the hotel's care and attention to detail. The check-out time of 12 o'clock is rare in Japan, so you can sleep in. The dinner is natural and changes according to the season. It doesn't look like a large amount, but it's quite filling after the whole process. The breakfast buffet is the same as that provided by the lounge. There are 5 or 6 kinds of curry rice, toast, yogurt cups, etc. in the ordering part. The French toast tastes great. The staff are proactive and friendly. There are staff who use Japanese, English and Chinese, and they give some good suggestions and help. The hotel is located next to the Kamogawa River, but it is relatively quiet. Because it is not in the business district, you will need to walk a little if you want to go out for dinner. It is a few hundred meters away from the subway station and has convenient transportation.

Designer hotel, small and cozy. The service staff is young and energetic, and the atmosphere of the hotel is very lively. The Japanese breakfast is great, the sun shines in the space, and it is very comfortable.
