I had a great stay. It’s like an apartment but have the amenities like a hotel, except that they don’t clean the room during the stay. But you can drop towels in the laundry basket downstairs and pick fresh ones anytime. There is reception round the clock, which is awesome. View of the river is fantastic. There is a Japanese style room which was a nice experience.

Love this place. Perfect location.

Loved this place on a quiet street next to the river and a short walk from Gion’s cultural sites. The 1br apartment suited our family of 4 given the enclosed sleeping space near the living room for our 2 kids. The apartment is well designed and comfortable with all you need to cook, do laundry and relax. It was a perfect pick for our visit to Kyoto. The staff are excellent and easy to communicate with.
