Quite a unique experience with traditional Japanese furniture and room layout. The owner clearly put a lot of thoughts in building out this hotel by integrating modern appliances into traditional Japanese house architecture. Beautifully decorated garden. Staff were super helpful.

I thought the environment and the staff were very friendly and cozy. It’s a short walk from any convenience store and Nishiki market is about a 15 to 20 minute walk. The onsen is definitely a plus after a long day of walking.

Great boutique hotel, unique in its traditional structure of OLD Kyoto and yet updated with modern elements. Breakfasts are more snack like, complimentary evening cocktails is a nice way to end the day.

This place is beyond beautiful, but it just wasn’t for us. It’s beautiful and safe, but it’s more rustic than expected. The ground floor is cement, which has cracks where bugs get stuck on. We went in the peak of summer so there were lots of mosquitoes and spiders inside, and we had a small dead roach stuck on one of the cement cracks. The AC is upstairs and it’s capacity doesn’t cool the entire place, so it’s was still hot and humid in there, which made it uncomfortable. The smell of the humidity woth the wood makes a musty smell too which trigged allergies and just wasn’t super comfortable. Overall, this place is gorgeous and the staff is super nice, location is a bit further from central places, and this is a more rustic place, maybe not the best for peak summer time because of the bugs and heat. Appreciated the staff and the looks though!

This was the nicest hotel I think I've ever stayed in. The room was absolutely huge and felt so luxurious. It was in a nice location, close enough to central Kyoto but also far away enough for a nice and quiet break! Staff were lovely and helped with everything. I will definitely be staying here again when I'm in Kyoto!

Beautiful property designed for a good refresh. So glad I stayed here and took advantage of the bath with a garden view. Staff was extremely helpful; my credit card got frauded and I had to get a replacement. The staff was extremely helpful in navigating the postal system for me. Quiet neighbourhood near the Imperial palace with beautiful parks and a nice break from the chaos of other tourist areas.

No 10 is a beautiful spacious home

Our family stayed in unit 10. It is a beautiful two-level traditional home with a gorgeous bath, three televisions, spacious sleeping quarters, a living room and a roomy kitchen-dining area. The bath and living area face a lovely internal patio garden. Staff is very helpful and regularly puts out drinks and snacks in the common area. Easy walking distance to transit and many sites. Worth every penny!
