I had hoped for an authentic stay in Kyoto, but this hotel disappointed. Extremely noisy with motorbikes at night, staff were rude and cold towards my family and I and we did not feel welcomed at all. The staff in the hotel shop followed us around and then checked over all the areas we had looked at, which showed they did not think we'll of foreigners.
We had a similar terrible experience at breakfast, we were offered a children's plate etc for my son, then the receptionist came in, spoke to the breakfast staff in Japanese and they took the plate back, even though the children's breakfast was free. Terrible terrible experience, rude and cold staff, overseas visitors do not book!
