Rooms were very nice and very clean. Quiet hotel. Right in the heart of the shopping district so very convenient. Also a few min walk to the nearest train station. Beds were small. Only twin size so the rooms only fit 2 people. Staff were very friendly and you can leave your luggage befofe and after check in

Great location and excellent customer service from the front desk staff. They helped us book a taxi and restaurant reservations in advance, and they were incredibly friendly throughout our stay. This was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. We upgraded to a three-bed room, and it was very spacious and comfortable. I will definitely come back to this hotel when visiting Kyoto again. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

6 stars out of 5. The room was great. The staff was nice. Breakfast every morning was super fresh and delicious with many options. 24/7 free coffee machine that can make latte and mocha and matcha and hot chocolate. Free cup of sake every night. Heated toilet seats and a fancy bidet. Right in the middle of the busy Kyoto city life but out of the way and quiet on the inside. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at and for one tent the price I would expect.
