To sum it up, this is, in my opinion, the best choice in Kyoto under 10,000 RMB (my criteria when traveling with a baby are a kitchen for cooking and a washing machine for laundry).
First, the hotel's amenities are impeccable. It's spacious and comfortable, and what you see in the official photos is exactly what you get. All kitchen and bathroom appliances are top-of-the-line (for example, the wine cooler is a LIEBHERR). The bathroom also featured an automatic hot water dispenser that keeps the water at a constant temperature, which was a first for me and incredibly convenient for bathing the baby.
Secondly, the hotel service is the best I've ever encountered. Their team made me feel like they genuinely care for their guests, not just doing a job. This was a stark contrast to the cold, fake smiles often found in chain hotels. On our first day, a part was missing from the crib, so they helped us move our large bed, thoughtfully placing the mattress against the wall to prevent the baby from bumping their head. I was completely satisfied, as the issue was resolved. But to my surprise, the hotel immediately bought a brand new crib for us the very next day, which truly touched me! And the warm, welcoming Chinese-language service, plus the responsive WeChat service group, was incredibly convenient.
Finally, the Kamo River is just so beautiful. I didn't even want to go to any other attractions; I just enjoyed strolling with the baby, soaking up the sun, and chasing wild ducks. Life is elsewhere, but perhaps this is the true meaning of travel.
