Star Service
Frommer's "Its downtown location right beside the Kamo River, on the former grounds of a baron's second home complete with a small landscape garden, is the best feature of this 40-year-old property, so if you can, splurge for a room facing the river with views of the Higashiyama Mountains in the distance"
Lonely Planet "Common areas are elegant and the on-site restaurants and bars are excellent"
Star Service "Lighter fare is served in the lobby lounge, as are cocktails and afternoon tea"
