What a delightful, cozy, warm hotel with such friendly staff. Every moment of our stay (on honeymoon) was perfect. The hotel is in a peaceful, quaint location where we felt like locals. The staff were so helpful and pleasant, and the complimentary drinks in the lounge every evening were such a sweet bonus! We can't wait to come back! :)

Excellent value for money - so many thoughtful touches! It was extremely clean, great interior design, very calming and Japanese style. It's very close to Nijo Castle and doesn't take long to get to the hustle and bustle of Gion and other areas. There were some highly rated restaurants nearby but all were booked when we were there so worth looking in advance. The hotel is locked on very cute Kyoto streets.

    The location is great, basically across the road from the station, about 5 to 7 minute walk. From there you can get to anywhere in the city quite easily. The hotel is new and much thought has been given to the decor. It is stylish and interesting with a Japanese touch. The rooms have a warm feeling with warm coloured floral carpets and wood features in the furniture. The bed linen was great and the beds extremely comfortable. The bathrooms are modern and the water pressure excellent.

    The hotel is simply wonderful! Our room was simple yet well renovated, stylish, modern and new too. Totally worth the price and location is great too. The hotel is situated on a main road in Kyoto city centre, easy access to most of the places. There is a common spa, sauna and public bath area but we didn't get to use them. Would recommend to those who're traveling to Kyoto!
