Michelin Guide "Built in a modern style paying homage to Kyoto machiya, the handiwork of a design firm is apparent at this hotel."
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"This 29-room hotel is a serene oasis in a city that, despite its mythologies, often dismays first-time visitors because of its workaday plainness." Full review
Fodor's "This chic downtown pied-à-terre successfully combines traditional ryokan elements—sliding paper screens, tatami rooms—with some unexpected boutique-hotel touches." Full review
The Telegraph8.0

Frommer's "Just across the street from Nijo Castle and offering rooms with castle views, this hotel has one of the most eye-catching lobby lounges in town." Full review
Lonely Planet "This large hotel gets plenty of foreign guests... the free shuttle to Kyoto Station is a welcome service for those doing a bit of exploring." Full review
Star Service "While its dated exterior and not-much-newer interior do little to inspire, the reliable cookie cutter service pattern of Crowne Plaza is fully in place." Full review
i
Although rooms on higher floors afford nice rooftop and mountain views, be sure to request one facing Nijo Castle.
Fodor's "This chain hotel's location is dynamite." Full review
