Nothing. Highly recommended.

The front desk staff were so nice and helpful!! They were very welcoming and even framed us a photograph for our honeymoon. The room was very functional and convenient with nice view. Beds very comfortable! The location is great just 5-15 minutes walking from everything (train station for shrines visiting, markets, shopping centers and old town gion).

Location, amenities, cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff and my room view

Stayed in April 2025

The room was kinda tight and the lighting was poor. We also had a particularly difficult time with the washing machines because they were supposed not to need detergent, but our clothes came out just as smelly and dirty as they went in :( so we ended up using detergent the next time.

The room was nice and quiet and the hotel staff were helpful and polite all the time. It was nice that they always had someone at reception. The light breakfast that they serve is very good.

The breakfast

We were expecting to have have a larger breakfast, while there were only coffee, cheese and some croissants

Stayed in April 2025

There was nothing .

Location was very convenient to get around, the snacks and coffee was ok, can have a couple more choices would be better. The amenities like lotion and emulsion was very good.

Location and service

Was such a lovely hotel and the staff were absolutely exceptional. From the elegant minimalistic hotel entrance to the modern Japanese-style interiors of the reception and our room, the beautiful design and had such a warm and welcoming feel. My family and I stayed here to celebrate my dad's birthday, during our Japan trip back in January this year. This hotel was conveniently located walking distance to konbinis, restaurants, shopping malls, some Kyoto tourist destinations with easy bus accessibility. The staff were extremely accommodating from Day 1, and the hotel manager was very kind and hospitable as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the facilities, as well as the lovely complimentary breakfast (light pastries & bread buns) and coffee/juice they provided each morning. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, nice amenities and the showers were very cool too. Only gave 9/10 just because the power went out one of the nights during our stay due to the weather, and took a few hours to get back on. Nonetheless, during our whole Osaka/Nagano/Kyoto trip, this hotel was definitely the best stay we had and couldn't recommend more!! On our departure day, the staff at the front desk gave us little Japanese sweet treats to take home, and we gave small souvenirs from Australia as a token of appreciation. Unfortunately, I am unable to find the business card the hotel manager had given us on the last day, but he was very kind and we are grateful to him and the staff for making our stay in Kyoto such a great experience. :)

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Loved the fitout, the allcove area and Reception area providing drinks and snacks. When you first arrive it is exhausting so nice to have those amenities available.

Maybe a restaurant area to serve hot breakfast but it didn’t deter us from liking the hotel

Great location, friendly staff, nice size room, we had a twin room and was a good size with separate toilet and wet room. Croissants and coffee for free in the morning. Close to the City bus stop that took us to various points of interest and city bus took us from the train station to the hotel within a couple of minutes walk. So convenient

The breakfast was sparse, bread and pastry, with one coffee machine for the whole hotel and not enough seating. Would have appreciated some fruit and a few more tables and chairs.

Excellent location spotlessly clean and comfortable

We stayed in one of the rooms with a river view. The elegant, refined room decor and serene view onto the river, mountains, and many temples was an absolute highlight of my vacation. The hotel staff is very lovely - always available and helpful. The hotel's location is unbeatable - a short walk to the river, shopping, Gion district, and many temples. In fact, the hotel is located next to the street, Matsubara dori, that one would take to walk to Kiyomizu dera (25-30 minutes walk, very pleasant). And, bus number 205 stops almost directly in front of the hotel (opposite side of the street) and will take you to Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion)(about 45 minutes, but you don't need to change buses, etc.). My tip for a delicious, casual lunch or breakfast is to check out the nearby cafe, Kamee Coffee Kyoto Takatsuji.
