This is a fantastic hotel. The rooms are very new and slightly larger than your standard room in Japan. Beds were comfy, bathroom was spectacular, and the lounge had free drinks and snacks. About a 10 minute walk from the subway. Would highly recommend this place!

Attractive, quiet, well located. Terrific service

This is one of the nicest boutique hotels I’ve stayed in. Refreshing, calm, & quiet with modern decor. Located near downtown. Extremely helpful staff — consistently. Best coffee I’ve ever had in a hotel, and available fresh 24/7. They even have a quiet public area to veg in, and offer wine & treats in the afternoon. I definitely would stay there again.

Spacious fresh room and great location

We stayed here for two nights and very happy with our stay. The room was fresh, spacious and tastefully decorated, and the staffs were friendly and helpful. It’s located right by the city center, and we could find many nice cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood. The water pipe? drainage? sound was rather loud when guests above our room was using shower, but otherwise everything was great! We would gladly stay here again.

Excellent hotel, with large, well-appointed rooms in an area that is convenient for accessing things in Kyoto. The hotel staff members were excellent, so friendly and helpful. I forgot to make a dinner reservation for my first night in Kyoto, and the two ladies working the front desk called five places for me, and the one I visited was recommended by the hotel staff member and was incredible! The hotel also has a nice lounge. Great stay!

The breakfast here is fantastic, healthy, and energizing - definitely worth including in your stay! The lounge also includes complimentary snacks and beverages during the day and evening, which was a nice touch. The room was clean and quiet, and very nice modern bathroom. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall this is a great boutique hotel in central Kyoto. In the lobby, a helpful book of recommended local restaurants was a great resource. Definitely eat at Kuon udon restaurant a few doors from the hotel - delicious and authentic experience!
Delicious breakfast with multiple options!
