Very convenient location, but in retrospect should have asked for a room not facing the street. Traffic, especially motorcycles zooming up and down street, usually after 8 pm was very noisy and made it hard to get to sleep. Otherwise hotel was wonderful, larger room, housekeeping great, very pleasant staff and location close to Nishiki market-best for souvenir shopping.

Great hotel in the hub of the Kyoto action. No complaints, staff was very friendly, rooms quite spacious for Japan standards, quiet, etc. The only downside was that the room did not have any natural light (there was a window, but it was fogged and faced the side of a building). Overall great experience though!

10/10 recommend this hotel. It's central and close to train stations. There's also a taxi line nearby. The free coffee and matcha are great. We didn't eat the breakfast but it looked good. Rooms are bigger than our Tokyo hotel, actually has space to move around and bathroom was a good size.
