This place is a cute and quaint boutique hotel. The rooms are super clean and modern. We stayed in room 202 hada side tinted window but was so new inside.

Our stay at the General Kyoto Bukkoji Shinmachi

Very pleasant stay. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The complimentary longe was a nice touch. The only minor issue was with the humidity level in the room and the hardness of the bed.

Staff were excellent, very helpful. It also helped that they speak English. Room was very clean. Enjoyed the lounge where snack and drinks were provided. Plenty of things to do in Kyoto. We spent a day around the Arashiyama area, a day in Gion, etc. If you have a spare day, I would recommend going to Nara for a day.
