Fantastic location to great shopping, buses and train stations close by and many food choices. Delicious French bakery around the corner if you do not go for the breakfast included option. Lovely hotel, the smell is amazing the moment you step into hotel entrance. Coffee machine in Japanese style reading and sitting area. Great value for such a stylish hotel.

Lovely cozy hotel, located in the center of Kyoto, very close to shopping, restaurants and attractions. We really like the design, it gives you Japanese vibes

It is really minor things: - toilet paper is very thin (one layer), I had better ones in public toilets.. - the rooms are not cleaned everyday which is totally fine but we still receive new towels everyday. Maybe it will be better to only change the ones that are given back.

The location was amazing, close to Gion (10-15 min by foot) and great places to eat (Pantocho and Nishiki market). There is also a metro station close-by. It was also clean, a comfy bed and we receive 2 water bottles everyday. I would recommend it 100% and would come back for sure!

The rooms are really very small (even for Japanese standards!) and ours didn’t have a proper window either so I’d suggest upgrading to a bigger one if there for more than one night - we stayed for 4 and it was wearing me down eventually! Also, I think they really could improve the breakfast offering.

Good location for exploring Kyoto, friendly staff, good selection of toiletries and amenities to take to the room and a nice touch to have a free coffee machine in the lounge.

The rooms are very small so can be hard if you have big luggage.

Great location and very nice hotel, our family really liked the downstairs seating area with the coffee machine.

Nothing - it’s a aGreat little city hotel-

Beautiful well maintained hotel very centralized in Kyoto. Location is a 10/10. Rooms are perfect for what you need if you’re planning on getting out and see Kyoto all day.

The room itself is rather small, but it is expected for the price. Everything else was amazing

Central location, close to tons of bars nearby on the Main Street. Very good breakfast, a blend of transitional Japanese and European. Extra services like laundry and drier helped us a lot along our journey and the personnel was very helpful and answered all our questions. Minor detail, but once you enter the reception, a scent of aroma candles or some oil is very refreshing and creates a positive impression. And of course the place, the room, everything is spotless clean.

Service and amenities where exceptional. Location was very convenient for getting around Kyoto.

The location is everything, it was in the middle of everything that is important in Kyoto 5 minutes Walk to the metro and subway station and outside is the bus stop. Behind the hotel there is a street full with restaurant that are local and amazing. And the smell in the hotel is amazing. I will stay again. Side note the bathroom was the biggest in our entire trip in Japan.

Great location, central to everything. Hotel was well equipped and clean. Staff were friendly and spoke enough English to help. Room was small but that was expected.

The room was quite compact (but we expected this) but this didn't hamper our enjoyment of the stay at all, just something to be aware of should you have lots of luggage like we did!

The hotel is in a fantastic location to explore Kyoto. Close to the Yasaka shrine complex and Gion district, with a beautiful sakura tree's by the river just behind the hotel. Also it it located just next to a main shopping district, meaning you get the best of both sides of Kyoto, the modern and historic, perfect! The hotel was beautifully presented and despite our room being a modern I suppose "western" style, it had that old Japanese charm of tatami mat flooring, shoji door to expose the window and a matcha tea set, which we loved! The staff were very friendly and spoke a great level of English which helped us out as out Japanese is a bit rusty! Downstairs there was a relaxing communal room where you could help your self to hot and cold drinks which was nice to see. You could also help yourself to any extra toiletries you wanted including some lovely luxury goods, which was a nice touch! The hotel also offers a small museum exhibit near the front door explaining the history of the site on where the hotel sits. The Italian restaurant in the basement was a lovely end to one of our days too, a nice relaxing atmosphere to unwind after a day of walking thousands of steps!

We loved the location. Lots of great places to eat near by. Hotel room was small as everyone else said, but it didn’t worry us we don’t hang out in the room anyway. Great skin care samples in the foyer, and a lovely sent when you walk in. A good common space to sit and have coffee you can bring outside food to eat.

The best part about this hotel is its location right in the center of the Kawaramachi neighborhood in Kyoto near shops, restaurants, bars, and public transportation. It is ideally situated for making it a base for sightseeing and getting to the main tourist areas in Kyoto. The rooms are small even by Japanese standards, but they are well thought-out in terms of making the best use of a small space so despite the small size I found my room stylish and comfortable for my needs. The breakfast buffet had ample options, but it is in a rather small restaurant in the basement which can feel a bit cramped.

Great rooms in a good size. High quality products (soaps, shampoo, etc.). Central located with many things to do around but in the same way very quiet. Bed was super cozy.

WiFi didn’t work properly in the room and breakfast could have been better (eggs, bacon, sausages etc were mostly cold)

Location was perfect (yet there were no noises coming from the Main Street), and the ambience was lovely and relaxing

Some people were just a little greedy with the amenities and took multiple handfuls.

The location was fantastic, walking distance to Kinkakuji temple, food and shopping malls. The amenities were very well set up, where you gather only what you need. The quality of the products were also very good. The hotel coffee and cocoa machine was very welcome.
