As a family of 4 adults, this was a good hotel to stay at. Close to subway, restaurants, Gion and other must see sites. The hotel has a boutique style feel to it and the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was smaller than other hotels we stayed at but had everything you need. For stays less than 3 nights, your room will not be cleaned, but we prefered that. Please learn to say "thank you" in Japanese before going "arigato gozaiymasu"...the people always bow and say this to you. The complimentary daily morning croissant and gourmet coffee was a bonus.

The room was very spacious! There was enough space for our family to spread out with our many suitcases. The shower was amazing with great water pressure and temperature! The staff was very friendly and so helpful starting delays in our travel and accommodating our reservation until it was time to send our luggage off to our next destination! There are restaurants within walking distance and a convenience store right next door.

Perfect for a family of four. Beds were great, the space was plenty (especially for Japan), and it had great amenities like a washer/dryer, separate toilet and bathroom. And full kitchen. The location was also great: near a subway line and also close to the philosophers walk. Lawsons downstairs also helped This is a place for travelers who want higher end accomodations but don't need onsite facilities like a restaurant

First and foremost, the staff were very helpful and also spoke excellent english. Any time you are in another country, you should not take it for granted that you will have an easy time communicating, and my review would still be 5 stars without it. Staff are able to assist with restaurant reservarions, transportation, and luggage courier services. A short walk from the subway, transport to kyoto station and nara were simple. Short walk to multiple temples. Short walk to pontocho dining street and lots of other hreat restaurants.

This was a spacious, comfortable and unique property in a good location. It was immaculately clean. There is a Lawson store next door and a number of good restaurants nearby. It is in walking distance to the Heian Shrine and Nanzenji Temple. Bus stops are just outside and subway stations are very close. The hotel is on a busy street, but the room is well insulated and very quiet. It has a washing machine that is supposed to also function as a dryer, but we didn’t have much luck with the dryer part. There is an enclosed balcony where you can hang clothes to dry, as well as a big closet and a pole in the bathroom. The staff was polite and competent enough in English to be helpful. Taxis had a hard time finding it and I began to use the Higashiyama Hotel across the street as a recognizable landmark.

A fully equipped and comfortable serviced apartment, complete with an in-unit washer and dryer located in the bathroom. I really appreciated the modern tech features in the bathtub and toilet—they were a nice touch. The infant cot provided was clean and cozy, and they even included a diaper bin, which was very thoughtful. However, there were a few downsides. The room didn’t offer much of a view, and the hanging lamp above the wall art in the living area was quite obstructive—I bumped into it multiple times. Additionally, the layout lacks separation between the bedroom and the kitchen/living space. This means if you cook, the smell lingers throughout the entire apartment. And once the baby is asleep, it’s hard to do anything else since there’s no door to block light or noise from the living area.

This has everything you need for a short stay and is in a nice neighbourhood with a Lawson next door. We chose the location as we had an event at Rohm Theatre. It was an easy walk to the theatre and nearby shrine. Room was clean and spacious with own laundry, kitchenette and loved the bathroom. Water pressure was amazing! Whilst not in the centre of Kyoto it had great transport connections. We used the bus a lot. Thank you for a great stay!
