9/10 We loved it! Comfy, clean, spacious, great locationGood room size, well equipped.
Very clean
Very comfy beds and crisp linens - DREAMY!
Bathroom very large
Nice lobby with breakfast available, and free non-alcoholic drinks all day.
Great location close to Karasuma Oike station (only 3 stops from Kyoto Station)
Close to Nijo-jo Castle, and the Imperial Palace Kyoto National Gardens.
Good bus links.
10 minutes walk from the river.
Lots of great places to eat nearby - beautiful bakery just round the corner for breakfast!
Friendly staff.
We were able to walk from the hotel via Heian Shrine to Kodai-ji, and Kiyomizudera, and back via Gion, but buses also were available if we had wanted.
It suited our needs perfectly and we really enjoyed our stay.

9/10 Best stay in Japan.The room was spacious, clean and modern, the bathroom was large with a full size shower (not a pod bathroom that is most common in Japan). The location was a short walk to key attractions and public transport, and a cute bakery store just around the corner. The amenities are great - unlimited free soft drinks and tea in the lobby with a generous dining area. The staff were very accommodating and helped us with Yamato luggage forwarding. We loved our stay!

7/10 Value for Money Hotel.Hotel was good, service was excellent and it was in a decent position to walk to places like Nishiki Markets, Gion District and nearby restaurants. Close to metro stations to access local tourist attractions. Good value for money.
Only complaint was
the bedding. Was so hot. Had to blast the airconditioning on cold to be able to sleep under the heavy quilt on the bed and the weather was around 10-12 degrees Celsius while we were in Kyoto.

9/10 Excellent value and beautiful interiorWe loved our stay, the location was great, 10ish mins walk to metro and 20ish to Gion. It’s in a quiet street with many convenient stores and supermarkets nearby. The hotel and the room is beautiful and have a luxury touch. The only downside is the room was small but that’s typical in Japan.

10/10 Perfect as always!The fourth time we stayed here. Everything is just perfect as before. This time we tried the breakfast which was included in the booking. The variety of food and the quality are exceptional too! Have booked a room to stay there again in April 2026!!

9/10 Overall, I think it is good value for money.The room was very clean. The breakfast is buffet style all you can eat for a reasonable price. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was great. I liked that they had a Nespresso coffee machine in the room.

8/10 Amazing locale, lovely smaller hotel, excellent staff.We really liked this hotel. Family trip of 4 adults. Breakfast is if limited variety, but quite workable. A few Japanese options, and usually an egg dish, maybe bacon or sausages. Some breakfast bread/pastry, cereal, juices, yogurt, and fruit. Surely enough to fuel the start to your day, but nothing extravagant. Overall I was happy with the breakfast.
Staff was 9%5 fantastic. Only issue we had was that while we booked and paid for fees for two guests per room, we were hit with a "second guest" fee. Honestly that issue was my only real complaint for this otherwise excellent small hotel in the heart of Kyoto. Location is fantastic, easy walk to trains, the market, tons of food opportunities abound within walking distance. The location is the #1 key to why I would stay again. Staff, aside from the one issue, was the #2 best thing this hotel has going for it. Rooms are somewhat small, but not by Japan standards. I would stay again.

10/10 Outstanding hotelGreat hotel in a great location. This hotel is handy for all locations in Kyoto, trains markets or shops. The breakfast buffet was lovely, everything you needed was available, cereal,s eggs, sausage, toast or fruit and yogurt. The rooms were clean and quite spacious, the bathroom was amazing. The best part of this hotel are the staff, so friendly and helpful, they really went above and beyond for us to make sure everything was perfect, even down to arranging for a taxi for us and standing outside to wait for the taxi with an umbrella so we didn’t get wet. Their English is perfect and explained everything to us so we could understand. We had an amazing time in Kyoto , and Hotels are a big part of your holiday so this hotel contributed to having an amazing holiday. All rooms seem to be quiet as the hotel is located off a main road so no room noise. If we come back which is probable we will definitely be staying at this hotel. Thank you to all the staff at the hotel who made our holiday so memorable.

Big plus was the free drinks in the hotel lobby during the day.

10/10 Comfortable place to stayThe hotel is situated in a quiet street which we appreciated very much. The room was spacious and clean and the beds were super comfortable. We slept well at night, as it was really quiet in the halls. The staff were extremely helpful with sending our luggage to the next hotel. We made good use of the washing machine and dryer the hotel provided. If we were to come to Kyoto again, we would definetly stay here again.

Bed: 5 star standard.
Shower: rainfall shower.

6/10 Itsy Bitsy Tiny RoomTiny! I stayed in the larger room with a kitchenette too. The “shower” is literally smaller than a phone box and you might suffocate in there because you have to close the “door” to use it. The ironing board is bigger than the “sofa”. I will pay a bit extra and stay at the Okura a few blocks away.
