Grand Fine Kyoto Minami

The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, the service was friendly and efficient, and everything was well-prepared.

This was our favourite hotel of our trip. The outside is fairly grand, although it is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. There is a couple of convenience stores within a ten-minute walk, but not really any restaurants we could see. There are other grand hotels in the vicinity. The reception was equipped with some comfortable seats and booths, as well as the “menu” of rooms, where you see photos and categories of the rooms available. Outside the door, was a large parking structure. The receptionist, while not unfriendly, was visibly frustrated having to deal with English guests and was rather snappy at first. The Room was huge. The bathroom was large and comfortable, with a huge array of products and hair/grooming tools available to use. Hair dryer, curler, straightener, you name it. We tried the jet bubble bath and it was pretty relaxing and nice. Plus, the bath is large enough for two humans to relax together. In the centre of the room, a fabulous massage chair was free to use and I enjoyed. All in all, I would not say the food was that great. It was a pity. A furthermore, it wasn’t as advertised. For the price, I’d say it was okay and certainly for the convenience. The facilities and the furnishings of the room, the size of the guest space and the food brought to you, when compared against other non-love hotels, come out absolutely on top. Love hotels are the way to go.

Went beyond expectation for a fair price point. Looked really grand. Staff was corteous. It's a love hotel, yes. But we're all adults and shouldn't care how others do their business.

The best hotel we had in Japan!!!! The rooms are huge, bathroom has a jacuzzi and we have breakfast delivered in the room! It's clean and the service is good: even though they don't have a great command of English, they make a lot of efforts. Granted, it is a bit far from the city centre but it's a 15-mn walk from the metro station and there are a lot of bus stops around. I would totally recommend it and book it again!!
