普通の部屋に泊まりましたが値段通りのお部屋です。 ゴミが落ちていたのが気になったので、お掃除はもう少し確認した方が良いかと思います。 スタッフさんは親切丁寧で、人当たりの良い方々でした。

京都の別荘として紹介できるホテル

部屋数も少なく家族的でフレンドリーな宿です。少し分かりにくい入口でしたが直ぐに案内して頂きスムーズにCheckin。部屋は広めで和洋風な感じ、ごちゃごちゃした飾り気は無く無機質でデザインが統一されていて落ち着いた雰囲気。設備は整っていいて、備品も一流品がさり気無く揃っていて良かったです。外人が特に好む感じのホテルです。たまたま空いていたので広めの部屋に変えて頂き、更にゆったりとした雰囲気で過ごせました。スタッフはフレンドリーで対応や気遣いは心地よく大型ホテルでは味わえない暖かさがあります。洗面、浴室、トイレなど配置も良く広い空間で使いやすいです。TVはネットTVで映画なども見れ滞在中も楽しめました。高瀬川と木屋町通りに面していて桜の季節は特に良いと思います。徒歩圏内に沢山の飲食店があり便利です。四条通り迄直ぐなので観光にも不便はありません。一度泊まるとまた泊まりたくなるホテルだと思います。仕事で年間100日ほど国内外のホテルに泊まりますが、お勧めのホテルです。

ホテルらしからぬ外見だったので何度か通り過ぎてしまい、電話でナビをしていただきました。大変親切でした。 室内はお洒落で上質な造りでした。 また、清掃も隅々までなされており、とても清潔でした。

A gem in the heart of Kyoto

We had a superb 3 night stay in Bijuu. The property consists of three rooms, two standard (quite large an well furnished) and one exceptionally large suite. We stayed in the standard room, and loved it. The service was also great, and there's a lovely cafe on the ground floor of the building. Plus the location can't be beat. I'd stay here again without hesitation.

ホテルの概念を覆す、ホテル。 部屋もそうですが、スタッフの方の対応まで全てが素晴らしかったです。 人通りの多い通りから奥に入るので、とても静かでそれでいて立地も良く、その点もとても満足です。

Beautiful and tasteful

Lovely room in this 4 bedroom classy establishment. It is in a great position but on a very quiet street. It isn't a conventional hotel - more like a high class residence.
