Perfect Kyoto Hotel

We fell in love with this hotel! The location was perfectly situated to explore Kyoto and the staff were AMAZING! They were so friendly and helpful from everything to giving recommendations to helping us ship our luggage to our next hotel. The room itself was beautiful and large! We booked a double queen and the room had plenty of room for four adults to live in for 4 nights. AND THE BATHROOM!!!! The shower pressure was bliss, the soaker tub with the oxygenated bubbles was so nice after long days of walking and big enough to fit 6’2” men! The sauna was a nice touch as well! I would 1000% stay here again!

Extremely great location for exploring Gion area of Kyoto. Easy to walk to local attractions and take the buses. Property was clean and modern. Has laundry onsite if you need it. Stayed with a family of 4, 2 teenage daughters. There was sufficient room for all of us in one room. Bathrooms and specially showers were very nice. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Kyoto.

New and clean hotel. Great breakfast. Really appreciated the laundry being available in the hotel lobby. Only complaint is regarding the fee/penalty they charge for not returning the room card keys. I am sure it is in the contracts but they definitely don't mention it verbally to you when checking in.

We stayed in both the western style and Japanese style rooms and they were both lovely - elegant, spacious, clean. Location is great and many sites are walkable. It is just around the corner from a bus stop that takes you direction to Kyoto station and there is also conveniently a 7/11 very nearby.

We stayed here for 6 nights. Location is perfect for exploring the Gion area, but in hindsight wish I'd stayed somewhere a bit more accessible to other sites like Nishiki Market. Gion seemed to close down around 6:00 most days and then we had problems finding dinner. We ended up ordering uber eats 2 nights. Loved the quaintness and staff was very friendly and helpful. Only complaint about the room is that our bed wasn't anchored to the headboard or wall, so our mattress kept slipping out from under us and made it hard to sit up and watch TV. This would be a really quick fix! Uber worked perfectly in Kyoto from rides to food.

BEAUTIFUL location, super convenient and walkable for sightseeing in Kyoto. We booked a room with a private sauna which was incredible after a long day of walking all over Kyoto. The oxygen bubble bath in our room only worked once (tried to use it 3 times), but that was the only hiccup with the accommodations. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the hotel itself (especially the outside at night) is very pretty. Coffee/water and amenities in the lobby are a nice touch. 10/10 recommend!!

The property is in great location in Gion which is walkable to a lot of tourist attractions. It’s not too far (15-20 min walk) from the Nishiki market. There is a bus stop around the corner from the hotel and the closest train station is about a 12 minute walk. The hotel itself was clean and having a sauna in the room was very nice. There is free laundry machines by the lobby, however plan accordingly because the dryer takes 3-4 hours to dry a load. Overall, we had a great stay and I would stay here again.
