Before the pandemic, I remember the shrimp fry being large and delicious, so four of us visited the restaurant. We arrived on a Sunday at 11:30 and were able to sit without waiting. The service from the staff was a bit sloppy, but we ordered the steak lunch and the shrimp fry lunch. The salad, bread, and drinks were self-serve. The salad bar had limited options due to the low lunch prices. The shrimp fry, although smaller than before, was still delicious. The steak was meaty and the sauce was tasty.

I went to the affordable lunch buffet on the first floor of the hotel. There weren't many seats, but I was able to get in without waiting. The main dishes included meat, pasta, and curry. Each menu came with a salad, bread, and drink buffet. There was a wide variety of drinks, and the bread selection included hard, soft, and sweet bread. I enjoyed a delicious meal and felt very satisfied. It cost around 1000 yen, so it was wallet-friendly. I left feeling full and wanting to go back. Thank you for the meal.

I won the Kyoto Marathon for the second year in a row, but retired for the second year in a row. I stayed at the Hearton Hotel for the second year in a row. Since Valentine's Day was approaching, I received chocolate as support for the Kyoto Marathon. I had a light breakfast buffet. I recommend the Hearton Hotel for staying in Kyoto.

I enjoyed a leisurely stroll in Kyoto without making any plans. At lunchtime, I decided to dine at the hotel. I chose a main dish and enjoyed the all-you-can-eat salad. The meal also included unlimited soft drinks. Today, I chose the fried flounder. Even though I don't like vegetables, I surprisingly found the shredded cabbage and dressing delicious. I had three refills and felt full. It's rare for me to feel full from vegetables, but it was a pleasant surprise. I also had seconds of bread and enjoyed the fried flounder. The drink options included coffee, tea, grapefruit juice, tomato juice, orange juice, and milk. There was also miso soup and regular soup available.

The nearest station is Karasuma Oike. Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out is at 12:00 PM. The first floor has a front desk, an open-air atrium, and a buffet venue where you can overlook the surroundings. The interior has a traditional business hotel feel. For breakfast, you can choose between a Western-style buffet or a Japanese breakfast (must be reserved in advance). Since I didn't make a reservation for the Japanese breakfast, I had the buffet. The buffet venue is called "Patio" and is open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM. They offer various bread, soft drinks, coffee, herbal tea, hot vegetables, sausages, scrambled eggs, natto, rice, miso soup, salad, and fruits. It's a typical hotel breakfast buffet. The Japanese breakfast, Kyoto cuisine, is served at "Hamatoku" from 7:00 AM to 9:30 AM, offering grilled dishes, simmered dishes, three small side dishes, rice or porridge, miso soup, and pickles. The hotel has a good location and is reasonably priced, making it recommended for sightseeing or business purposes.

I attended a party organized by an industry association. The venue was a small party with about 30 people in total at a second floor Takao-no-Ma. The food seemed to be delivered from "Kyoto cuisine Hamatoku," which is on the same floor, based on the name on the chopstick bag. The fee was \6,000 per person. The organizer had mentioned in advance, "Feel free to order, but it's not all-you-can-drink, so please enjoy alcohol responsibly." I nodded along pretending to understand. I loudly requested a "Rainbow!" from a cute lady nearby with a tray, but she ignored me. Maybe even if I had asked a veteran chef, it would have been a polite apology. The food was delicious, although the course had a small number of items that looked like a boxed lunch. But it might be just the right amount for enjoying with alcohol. Throughout the evening, there were lively discussions about industry topics and general chit-chat, and I had a satisfying time. Thank you very much for taking care of us.

I used it for breakfast during my hotel stay. It opened at 7:00, which was a bit late, but the buffet dishes such as oden and ochazuke were delicious and satisfying, although they didn't fit in the plates. However, for some reason, there were more people on the second floor in the Japanese set meal corner.

This time, I had work at this hotel after a long time, about 3 years. After work, I attended a standing party at this hotel. When I participated before, I thought the content was relatively unique, but this time the impression was somewhat different. Depending on the price setting, it may vary. Sushi and soba were a bit lacking in my opinion. Also, there were a lot of fried foods, which gave a somewhat cheap impression. The seasoning was decent though. Thank you for the meal.

The location of the hotel is a bit far from the area with many bars around Shijo Kawaramachi. There aren't many shops nearby, so it's surprisingly inconvenient (lol). I wanted to have ramen near the hotel late at night, but there was none to be found... The hotel feels a bit higher class than a business hotel, but not quite luxurious. Since I was disappointed with the late-night ramen, I had high hopes for breakfast. I was very hungry, and the breakfast was delicious with high-quality dishes, and the fact that they included free toppings was a nice touch.
