Great hotel. Perfect location. I was able to walk to a ton of areas. Super clean. Rooms nice. Free laundry which was awesome!. 4th floor lounge was cute. It’s a very chill vibe. Not much going on inside the hotel as there’s no bar or restaurant but it’s very peaceful, clean and great rooms…pretty bathrooms too! I’d highly recommend.

Great location. 5 minutes to the right was one area and to the left, another. Property is beautiful and so quiet. A great reprieve from the busyness of Kyoto.doesn’t look like much from the street but … thru the curtain is a beautiful oasis.

This hotel was very nice. The staff was very friendly. It wasn’t too far from everything. I would say about 15-20 min away. The laundry was okay. It kinda stained some of my white clothes. But I won’t put the blame on them. Just beware. Overall great stay and would def stay there again. I also did the private bath (both). They were decent. Relaxing.

Great location and loved the extra perks like the unlimited water, the free laundry, morning coffee and croissants, cookies in room and beverages in fridge. Beautifully designed and decorated. Super comfy sheets and bed/pillows and towels. Shower amazing. Only con was that you can’t see outside or open the windows. Since room has two large twin beds and a lot furniture, can then feel a bit closed in. Would try to get an even larger room to overcome this minor issue. Helpful and keen staff.

My favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms were spotless, the staff were always very helpful and attentive. The hotel itself is gorgeous and the location was perfect for being within walking distance to many shrines and temples as well as downtown. Highly recommend and will definitely be staying here again on the next visit to Kyoto.
