This was the best hotel we stayed at during the entire trip! The gentleman at the front desk was the kindest and most helpful gentleman. He helped me so much! Everything about the hotel was awesome! Our room was big and super clean! We had everything we needed in the room and there are other amenities outside the room and in the lobby. The location was perfect, away from the business of the main streets but close enough to walk to everything. We loved staying here and wished our other hotels were this nice! I definitely will book here again when I return to Kyoto in the future!

nice stay, but...
The hotel was stylish and easy to use. The staff treated us very politely, and I had a good time being told which restaurant to recommend for dinner. However, it was a little disappointing that several long hair were attached to the carefully folded bath towel. Other than that, I have nothing to complain about:)

Quiet area and amazing little boutique hotel. Biggest room we have had in japan and a comfy large bed with super soft bedding. All staff spoke English and were very friendly but more so a lot more helpful than any other hotel we have stayed at also. The room also featured mood lighting, beautiful Japanese sliding paper style widows, soft toilet paper which we haven’t seen in japan and a MASSIVE array of toiletries and accessories in the bathroom. Things like hair tonics for men, and all kinds of accessories. There was a long table with 2 seats to sit, eat, read whatever and plenty of floor space to open multiple cases which was a dream. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone nice added touch was a soft and hard pillow each. What a difference this made to our jetlagged sleep.

In mid-November, we originally stayed 5 nights and we liked Kyoto and this hotel so much that we returned at the end of our Japan trip and stayed two more. The hotel is modern, beautifully appointed with exquisite lacquer elevator doors, tables and display pieces. It is located in a safe and quiet neighbourhood - 5 minutes walking distance to Nijo-Jo Castle, subways and buses. Both of our rooms were immaculate with fast wi-if and cozy duvets. But what made this hotel a stand-out was Sam, the manager, and all of the other staff, who were exceptionally helpful. We especially appreciated Sam’s help suggesting local restaurants to try out, and he would even make the reservation. It took the guess work out of where to have authentic Japanese meals in Kyoto. He even plotted our bus routes for us, marking the stops on city maps. Plus, he arranged for our luggage to be sent to our next hotel in Osaka and later to Tokyo (an essential service if you are traveling by train). A highly memorable stay in a modern hotel with courteous, helpful and knowledge staff. We have no hesitation if recommending this hotel to anyone.

My wife and I stayed for four days at this property as part of a Japan vacation, and we were delighted with our experience. The room was pleasant and peaceful, and the location was quite convenient to the Nijo Castle and nearby bus routes (and a 10-minute walk from the subway). The best thing about this location, though, was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and helpful. We couldn't have asked for any better attention! One piece of feedback for the management: as this is primarily a vacation destination, I would suggest a later checkout time of 11 am instead of 10 am.

I must warn you, this hotel is amazing! This is a top-quality hotel in a great part of Kyoto. The hotel is perfectly located on a quiet, peaceful street, within 5 minutes walking distance to the subway line and key bus routes, ideal to travel around Kyoto without much effort. The hotel itself is brand new with superb décor. Traditional Japanese features are brought together in a tasteful, clean, modern design. Our room was simply splendid! We booked a deluxe twin room which was huge by Japanese standards and large even by international standards. There was plenty of space for the two of us with the room having a separate section to store clothing and luggage. We slept very well as the beds were incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was bright, modern and clean. Now, all this is fantastic on its own and provides more than enough reason to stay here, but the best thing about this hotel is the staff! We must offer our sincere thanks to Mrs Onda, Miss Tei and Miss Anastasia, who were all a pleasure to speak to and very helpful in offering suggestions on what to do and how to get there. Trust me, this is difficult when there is so much choice! Of course we cannot forget Sam, who seemed to know everything there is to know about Kyoto! His advice was invaluable and we had fun speaking to him on a daily basis. He was even kind enough to make reservations at some great nearby restaurants and izakayas. We highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kyoto!

We stayed 4 nights at the hotel and were very happy about our choice. The suff is very friendly, helpful and speak perfect English. We asked to call us a taxi and once we arrived from the walk the receptionist was already waiting outside with our luggage and taxi driver! Our room was very clean, the towels - very soft, and the hotel's pyjamas are so comfy and such a great touch. The area is quite but has lots of restaurants and bars, you just need to walk around. Overall, highly recommended!

It was in a quiet area, a very new small boutique hotel, the BEST BED I have ever slept in over forty years of international travel. Lots of food options nearby and a good metro hub within ten minutes walk. Don't miss Nijo Palace and the Manga Museum nearby.

unreasonable price
unreasonable price even with good infrastructure. I made this booking 10 days before but the price decreased to half on 1 dya before my check-in. And I spent much money for breakfast but only sandwich. 1200 JPY for each sandwich. And there is a western lady in frontier with very unfriednly and haughty attidude. anyway, condition is good but if consider the price and check-in service, not good enough.

Great boutique hotel
The location is very quiet (not too far from the train station, but not in central location). Rooms are spacious, beautiful, comfortable and endulging. All amenities are provided including daily water bottles. Reception are friendly and smily. Price is very fair - great value for money. Highly recommended.
