This is a super fun, artsy and unique hotel in a quiet residential neighborhood in Kyoto. We stayed in the “game otaku” room with a cozy swing chair. The room was quite large by Japanese standards (queen size bed & a loft with room for 3 futons). It was very comfortable for our family of 3 (parents & teenager). We enjoyed interacting with the friendly & helpful international staff. The lobby has a huge Manga library (including some in English), and some fun retro game systems. The location is just a few blocks from the subway & several bus lines, which made it easy to go anywhere in Kyoto. Overall, this hotel was a fantastic home base for our visit to Kyoto. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity ever arose.
I had such a great time in the hotel. I would stay here again. The staff were very friendly. The area is conveniently located near a lot of shopping and restaurants.
