"This is a nice place to stay for basic comforts. A little outside of the main bustling area but also nice to get away from it all. Very easy to navigate to the sight seeing spots. The onsen style space was lovely to have as an experience. They are strict about visible tattoos but if you have small ones they will let you cover them up so that you can enjoy! "

"Unexpected hole in the wall type of property. One wouldn’t expect that it looks the way it does inside based on its exterior. Very modern, clean, and elegant inside. Outstanding interiors. The Double Room is decent size. Bathroom and shower area is larger than most of the hotels/airbnbs we’ve stayed at in Japan. Love the long bench on one side of the wall, convenient for luggage placement. Has a Family Mart a few steps away and multiple dining options around including an amazing sushi place...

"Our family of three had a wonderful stay at this hotel, opting for the triple single bed room which was very spacious compared to the other hotels we’ve stayed at. The complimentary shuttle service to the Golden Temple was a highlight, providing us with convenient access to this must-see attraction. Although, we went to the wrong hotel at first due to similar names on our google maps, but it was only a short 3-minute walk away, which wasn’t a big deal — so just make sure you are searching for...
