知恩院さんの宿坊をいつかは利用してみたいなと漠然と思っていましたが、今回宿泊をさせていただき、とてもよかったです。スタッフの方の対応は親切で、また立地がとても良いこと、駐車場もあり、朝のお勤めも参加をさせていただきました。とても気持ちよく過ごすことができました。また利用させていただきたいです。 浴室がすこし匂う、また部屋にあるドライヤーの場所がよくわからずということがあったので、頑張って探さなくてもドライヤー(もしくは何かのアイテム)を見つけ出せるとよいなと思いました。

This is an unusual property as it is located adjacent to a Buddhist temple. The staff at the hotel honor the spirit of the temple. The breakfasts were extraordinary and embracing quality and healthfulness. The customer service was all you could ask for. I had the opportunity to join a Buddhist ceremony in the temple early in the morning the day after arrival. it was an experience I will never forget. The hot bath in the beautiful bath pool was wonderful. The staff are kind and responsive, and the facilities beautiful. If you stay here, you will never forget what a wonderful experience you have had.
