forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 5 out of 5 (21 reviews). Guests report that events for children are offered and that their kids enjoyed them. Families with young children could use in-room dining, and guests praise the breakfast with views of the Kamo River. Thoughtful touches were noted as well: when one child did not like the pulp in the juice, the staff prepared strained juice. On the other hand, one guest reports that after completing a booking for 5 people they were later contacted and told that only 4 could stay, and that the cancellation process took time, so care is needed when booking for a large group.
