Great stay

Great stay. Comfortable beds, clean space, and the kitchenette is a nice touch. Taxi drivers do struggle to find the small street, though, so be prepared to show them a map of the navigation, if you’re not using an app taxi service. Nice Sri Lankan food in the cafe, too.

We loved staying at this hotel. It is immaculate, beautifully designed, the staff are so helpful, and you are close to so many great sightseeing and shopping areas. The rooms are so comfortable and modern. Our room had a private sauna and oxygen bath, it was like having your own little private spa. It was quiet at night and we slept well. Can’t recommend it enough.

Perfect Kyoto Hotel

We fell in love with this hotel! The location was perfectly situated to explore Kyoto and the staff were AMAZING! They were so friendly and helpful from everything to giving recommendations to helping us ship our luggage to our next hotel. The room itself was beautiful and large! We booked a double queen and the room had plenty of room for four adults to live in for 4 nights. AND THE BATHROOM!!!! The shower pressure was bliss, the soaker tub with the oxygenated bubbles was so nice after long days of walking and big enough to fit 6’2” men! The sauna was a nice touch as well! I would 1000% stay here again!

Extremely great location for exploring Gion area of Kyoto. Easy to walk to local attractions and take the buses. Property was clean and modern. Has laundry onsite if you need it. Stayed with a family of 4, 2 teenage daughters. There was sufficient room for all of us in one room. Bathrooms and specially showers were very nice. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Kyoto.

Excellent location with great location

New and clean hotel. Great breakfast. Really appreciated the laundry being available in the hotel lobby. Only complaint is regarding the fee/penalty they charge for not returning the room card keys. I am sure it is in the contracts but they definitely don't mention it verbally to you when checking in.

We stayed in both the western style and Japanese style rooms and they were both lovely - elegant, spacious, clean. Location is great and many sites are walkable. It is just around the corner from a bus stop that takes you direction to Kyoto station and there is also conveniently a 7/11 very nearby.
