Simply amazing!

This hotel was perfect! The staff were extremely helpful, the breakfast was amazing (we tried both Japanese and Western style) the beds were super comfortable and the rooms spacious and silent - Right in the heart of Gion - well connected by subway to the rest of Kyoto. We loved the extra touches (a coffee grinder in each room to make fresh filtered coffee) a deep bath and automatic toilet seats!

Good hotel for short stay in Kyoto. Very basic and more traditional Japanese style. Comfortable but small room, nice bathroom with good amenities. Hotel was a bit loud at times. Location is good for access to Gion and Pontocho areas and easily accessible public transit.

Such a beautiful stay for our honeymoon, it was super close to all the shops and restaurants in Gion which is a beautiful part of town in Osaka. The reception staff were so friendly, and super accomodation for any questions or recommendations you may have. We got the garden room which was honestly a sight to look at, the floors were tatami and had the best sleeps ever. Highly recommend this spot to anyone coming to Kyoto
