What Guests Say
Location was nice, but a bit of a walk (10-15 minutes) to sights and shopping/restaurant area. Hotel is very close to busstop to different sights in and surrounding the city. Next to a Family mart. The hotel was well designed (modern Japanese, a lot of wood), and I liked that they offered free drinks (water, tea etc) in the lobby of the hotel. Staff was friendly In the lobby they give other travellers the opportunity to share their Kyoto travel tips on a 'recommendation wall', which is a nice detail. Room has a tiny desk - which is used for some work related meetings.

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel, exceeding the city's usual standards. The room was impressively spacious and well laid out, featuring an inside garden that added a zen touch to the ambiance. The bed was remarkably comfortable, and the little tea corner in the room provided a perfect spot to unwind. The bathroom, equipped with a magnificent bathtub, further enhanced the overall experience. In addition to the exceptional room, the hotel's location is superb, with easy access to numerous bus stops and the metro station, making it convenient to explore the city. Situated at the city center, it offers a perfect blend of luxury and accessibility.

We liked the design of the hotel and our room was very comfortable despite being small. The room amenities were a nice plus with pajamas, slippers, teas and sweets provided. We loved the ground floor lobby space that offered a very comfortable place to relax, eat a meal or plan your day with free beverages available to guests all day. A very thoughtful plus for this small hotel.

We were at awe once we entered our room. It has the traditional feel with a modern touch. The tatami mats made us feel like we stayed at a ryokan. Very classy room for the price we paid. Although not central Kyoto, there are 2 bus stops within a minute walk and one directly outside the entrance. Makes it easy for us to travel around. Also liked that it’s only a 15 minute bus ride to Gion and Nishiki market also a 10 minute walk to the nearest subway station. Will definitely stay again the next time we visit.

The hotel has a spacious room which is quite larger compared to the usual room size in Japan. General ambiance is very nice and fitting to the city. There is a kombini just next to the hotel. Shijo and Karasuma subway stations are within the walking (~5mins) distance.

The hotel was actually really lovely and the staff were great. There was free coffee and other drinks throughout the day. The facilities were good and the rooms were clean and spacious.

If you are traveling with family, DO NOT BOOK THE SUPERIOR TWIN ROOM. It is tiny. Four people cannot possibly sleep in that room. We upgraded to a larger room, which was beautiful, had a tree in it and a huge bathtub.

The staff were super welcoming and attentive to every request immediately. The tea facilities, in the room and in the lobby are wonderful. Although the pillows were large and too hard, the staff changed them strait away. Also, there were issues with the washing machine coins filling and once informed, the staff member attended the problem strait away. The lift is fast. Access is perfect for a guest. I am very happy with my stay. Location to key points and metro, bus, tram were ideal. The room we had was also quiet and dark once the curtain was closed. Perfect sleeping environment. We were given a map and every question was answered.

We stayed at this hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly welcomed — warm, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. The location is perfect — peaceful yet close to everything we needed. The ambiance is thoughtfully curated, offering both comfort and charm in every corner. Everything was spotless, the room was beautifully prepared, and there were lovely little touches that made our stay feel extra special. Whether it was the front desk, housekeeping, or restaurant staff, everyone was exceptional. We felt genuinely cared for throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, elegance, and outstanding service, this hotel is it. Thank you for making our anniversary unforgettable — we’ll definitely be coming back!

Great little place just walking distance from shijo market, the hotel is quiet and not too busy which is good. They have a small breads/waffles station for people who didn’t order breakfast which is a nice touch, as well as a welcome drink station
