    Nothing.

    Loved the size of the apartments and that it was in a quieter part of town, but still walking distance to markets and restaurants. Staff were very helpful and complimentary beer and sake tastings for happy hour was a great way to relax and meet fellow travellers.

    Nothing to dislike, as far as we were concerned

    The apartment was wonderful. Bigger than we expected. It had everything that we need for our 4 night stay. Every afternoon they held tasting sessions for sake & beer plus other things are scheduled for guests to join, such as a calligraphy lesson. The staff were very friendly & helpful. Its location was perfect for us. There was plenty of public transport , if required. We found it easy to walk to most locations.

    The towels were a little small and could have been a bit nicer. The washing machine in the room was great however we had a few issues operating it.

    Staff were exceptional, assisted us whenever we needed it. The hotel has a happy hour for guests so you can socialise. They offer drinks for the kids and a coffee machine, all of which got good use by us. The rooms were very comfortable, we had a 3 bedroom unit for our stay. Kitchen was handy to have and the table and living area were a decent size. Highly recommend this hotel. You’re close to Nishiki market, the bus and train, to get around all the sights. Should out to Alizee who works at reception, she’s extremely helpful. Tomomi who also works at the front counter had a calligraphy business and runs experiences in the lobby, well worth it!

    Would be nice to have full front desk service at night instead of just overnight security

    Excellent multilingual staff were super friendly and helpful. Location was in quiet area right around the corner from a temple but still had access to many amenities within a 2-block radius: a bakery, a fancy little pastry shop, convenience stores, and multiple small restaurants. Suite with multiple bedrooms, kitchen, and in-unit laundry was super-convenient for our family. Enjoyed the nice touches like evening drinks in the lobby and calligraphy lesson with Tomomi-San.

    Minor, but one of the bedrooms doesn’t have a window. And the one that does have a window doesn’t have full blackout shades. But these are minor I would highly recommend this property to my friends. And would look to return!

    Super well laid out apartments - we had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a living room. It was so clean and comfortable! The washing machine worked really well and was much appreciated. What really helped our stay were the staff - they are truly multilingual and were so helpful and warm. Our room had a sweet view of a small temple! It was also very very quiet and had plenty of space. Happy hour was a nice treat! The area was pleasant and safe and I could trust my tween boys to go out on their own in the morning to buy junk food from 7-11 which they loved :)

    Nothing, we enjoyed our stay here.

    We stayed here for four nights in a superior two bedroom suite. We were able to spread out and have space as a family.of four. The facilities were fantastic and clean. Having a washing machine/dryer in our room was great. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The happy hour each night was a nice add on. The location was great and we didn't have any problem walking to a number of attractions, and it was an easy walk from the train station, There were also a number of eating places about 5-10 minutes walk away, and more if you want to venture further.

    The only thing that i can think of would be that taxis had a hard time finding the entrance. That's it, can't really do 2 to 3 sentences about that. The hotel does their best to remedy that by giving you a card to give to drivers to show them where it is, so it wasn't too bad.

    The rooms were clean and had everything we needed for a memorable, comfy stay. Super close to the train, 7-11, stores, and restaurants The staff were very friendly and helped you out with pretty much anything.. There was a calligraphy lesson and full range of fun and helpful items.

    There's nothing that I did not like about this place.

    Did not have the chance to try the breakfast. Location is easily located. I like that the room that is on 10th floor and its a corner room. It gives us some privacy. I like that the washing machine/dryer inside the room, very convenient to use. Staffs are friendly and accommodating.

    Having a kitchen and common area to eat, along with a spacious and roomy sitting area was great for our group of 4. Our apartment was clean and comfortable. Two full bathrooms was a game changer.

    Upon check-in, we were graciously and warmly welcomed by front desk staff. Front desk staff were top-notch in the hospital and service they offered throughout our stay. They were attentive and helpful. Bara was exceptional in the service he provided—he offered great dining recommendations and directions.
