I stayed here for two nights over my honeymoon two years ago and was over the moon about this location. Therefore, when we came back to fully experience Kyoto we thought coming back here was a no-brainer. We were wrong. Therr were several spiders in our room, room cleaning was very minimal (they only replaced the body towels and disposables as well as emptying the trashcans), the room was extremely dusty and dirty (coffee stains) on the walls and ceilings, they also never refilled our water. Unsure if and how things have changed, but for the price I don’t think I would recommend for a long stay. For a short stay, the space is nice and very spacious with a large tub which was nice after all the walking.

This property was lovely. The staff were quite friendly, spoke English very well and we’re very helpful. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were clean and the neighborhood is great. I forgot about VIP status so I don’t believe we received anything special. The hotel did have tea and water available, but I believe that was for everybody.

I really enjoyed this hotel. Compared to general room sizes in Japan, my room had great space and it was kind of a traditionally designed place. All the amenities offered were high quality and the room was so clean. Staff is very helpful. Location is also great, 6 minutes walking distance to Sanjo station and it was mostly flat. I will for sure stay here when I visit Kyoto again. Thank you!

Charming little hotel in northern Gion. Super convenient location for us during our stay in Kyoto, as it’s within walking distance of Gion and Higashiyama. And with Sanjo station nearby, making trips to other parts of Kyoto, as well as Nara and Osaka, was also easy. Thanks for helping to make our first trip to Kyoto unforgettable!

The best place we stayed while on our trip. We will be staying here every time we visit Kyoto in the future. The room was great, just enough space and gave that Japanese experience with the feel of Western amenities. The staff was incredible, answering a lot of our questions about Japan. Close to the subway station, close to the bus station; overall I can't recommend this place enough.

It’s a cosy hotel to stay in Kyoto which is near to Yasaka Shrine, Nishiki Market, shopping areas and train stations. Staff are friendly and speak good English. Will definitely stay here again when I come back to Kyoto.

Fuji is beautiful!

We stayed in a room for 3. 2 beds as normal and one on a mezzanine up some ladders- steep so be prepared! The staff were great. The water was lovely. The view of Mt. Fuji from so close by was great. The recommended pizza place sounded excellent but it had sold out quite early as it is very small. The bakery down the road is lovely. Access to views of Fuji are great and the lake was lovely too.
