The hotel used to have a nice timber ceiling, but now it feels worn and outdated. The bathroom had mold and rusty fixtures, making it quite unpleasant. Despite the high price, the rooms were unattractive with uncomfortable furniture.

7.0/10

Staying at this hotel was like a step back in time with its rooms offering picturesque views of the Daiyagawa River and the surrounding mountains, but the decor is in need of modernization. The service, while warm and welcoming with a smile, could use some updating to match modern standards. The location is unbeatable for exploring the temples and sights, but dining options and facility amenities could be improved.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms had two huge picture windows showcasing the beautiful scenery of the Daiyagawa River and distant mountains, but they are in need of modernizing.

Service

6.0

The service provided a certain tradition of warm welcome with a smile, but some modernization in service offerings could enhance the guest experience.

Location

9.0

The location is fantastic, right next to the Shinkyo Bridge and the stone paved route to the temples, making it convenient for sightseeing, although finding dining options at night may be a challenge.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience, though good with a western-style set meal, could benefit from offering more variety and options, especially considering the elegant setting.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities showcased the history of the hotel but lacked some modern amenities that could enhance the overall guest experience.
