forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 5 out of 5 (21 reviews). Guests report that events are put on for children and that their kids enjoyed them too. Families with young children praise being able to eat in their room, and say breakfast with a view over the Kamo River was delicious. Guests also mention thoughtful touches, such as staff straining the pulp out of a juice when a child did not like it. On the other hand, one guest reports that after a booking for 5 people was completed, the hotel later got in touch to say only up to 4 could stay, and the cancellation took time, so take care when booking for a larger group.
