Our accommodations were spacious and very clean. The service was exceptional.
The location was nice; in close proximity to train stations, shopping, and dining.
We opted for daily breakfast, which was delivered to our room and was quite delicious.
I highly recommend this hotel!

Small 12 room hotel located in a nice quiet area but still close and walkable to many of the touristy areas. Beautiful room and the shower/bath was truly a spa like experience. Bed was very nice as well. Get the Japanese breakfast served in your room at least once. It was a memorable meal.

a lovely small (12 room) hotel, in a great location in central Kyoto. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly and mostly understood English. The shower was... interesting. Maybe a bit over-engineered, but it worked. Never seen one like it before.

A real gem, perfectly located in beautiful Kyoto

Beautiful little hotel was a real find. Well located for many of the sites in Kyoto but on a peaceful, quiet street. The room was much larger in comparison with similar priced hotels we stayed at in Tokyo. The bathroom was beautiful with a huge shower room, jacuzzi bath, separate toilet and washbasins. Possibly the best small hotel I have stayed in.

We highly recommend this outstanding hotel. The customer service is simply the best we've ever had in any hotel. We have travelled around the world and never experienced such kind and caring staff that went out of their way to make our stay extra comfortable. We cannot thank the staff enough, they even helped arrnaged for my wife's watch to be sent from our previous hotel in Osaka where it was accidently left. We cannot say that it would have been found or returned in many other places! We wish we could rate this hotel higher than 5 stars thanks to the wonderful and very hospitable staff.
The hotel is very clean and set in an ideal location. The room is spacious and comfortable. The restaurants nearby are great and the bar next door is awesome. A must stay in Kyoto. Thank you very much for the best stay, we would love to come back.

Perfect place to stay in Kyoto

By far my favorite hotel that we stayed in during our visit to Japan. I prefer to stay a little out of the way of the major corridors, and this was a perfect fit with that in mind. About a 10-15 minute gets you out to the prime areas of town. The hotel staff were very kind and hospitable, and our room was pristine and spacious.

Bed and linens all felt incredible, the little details go a long way. The hotel is mid-block so you won't have spectacular views, but you have peace and quiet, and a lovely place to spend some time. Highly recommended.

Book a room with jacuzzi tub—the technology of the shower and tub in those rooms is amazing and state of the art

Great new hotel by all counts.

It’s an area with few taxis, though the hotel will call one. No drivers responded to my one attempt to call Uber from the hotel.

Returning to the hotel by taxi was a nightmare. Most drivers are older and don’t use GPS navigation, so even though I showed them the address in Expedia in Japanese kanji, some still couldn’t find it. One, late at night, told me”I was in the area “Komi hen design), got out, pulled out google maps and had been dropped off half a mile away.

That said, the hotel is only three blocks from a larger street with buses. I bought a couple of one day bus passes at the visitors center just outside the central exit at the train station ( on the left) for 600 yen each.

The first use of a day pass, you insert the pass in the machine by the driver when getting off the bus, it stamps the pass in large numbers, then you simply show the pass to the driver when getting off the bus for the rest of the day.

If you are riding the bus three or more times in a day, the pass is the way to go.

The bus goes to all the major tourist attractions and google maps shows which bus to take and the next bus schedule.

Also there are two trai stations within walking distance of the hotel.

Nishi-Ku market is about an 11 minute walk from the hotel.

There is an wonderful fresh fruit store close to the hotel

Would have paid double!

Everything about this hotel was incredible and the staff and room created an experience of home. Every person we spoke to at the front desk was beyond helpful and went out of their way to secure reservations or provide recommendations on things to do or places to eat. The staff was so friendly and personable, even after we asked they unlock the room safe three times! The room itself was huge, warm, inviting, and impeccably clean. Toiletries were great quality, the shower was huge, the bed was so comfortable—I couldn’t say enough good things! This place is a gem amongst all the jewels of Kyoto.

Great hotel in a fantastic location

The hotel itself was great, helpful staff that spoke good English, clean room with air conditioning, futuristic toilet facilities and an extremely comfortable bed. We arrived an hour before scheduled check in but they made the room available for us early as I think it was clear that we had been travelling for a long time (20 hours total from the UK, including lay overs).

The location was great for us as we were off exploring kyoto every day. Its fairly central to a lot of great sites, nowhere is further than a 30 or 40 minute walk thanks to how walkable kyoto is. Subway entrance for karasuma oike is right nearby for going a bit further afield, and there are plenty of places to eat within 2 minutes walk of the hotel for breakfast, including a fantastic obanzai cafe just around the corner. The hotel entrance is locked after 1am until 6am but they provide you with a code to get in. There's always someone at the front desk anyway during these times.

Great place.

A hidden gem in Kyoto

The 3.5 stars of the Hotel does not do justice to this little gem in a calm but central area of Kyoto. The rooms (superior twin rooms) are tastefully decorated (western style but with a japanese touch), the bedding is absolutely comfortable and the bathroom is stunning (bubblebathtub and a rainshower). The hotel is very calm and therefore perfect if you want to have a bit of quietness during your stay.
The staff is very friendly and professional.

Keep in mind though, that there is no restaurant or breakfast available. However, there are plenty of restaurants around and the rooms are equipped with everything you need to make tea or coffee (very good quality by the way).

Our room was clean & tastefully decorated and the bathroom was spacious, with large shower room, rain shower fittings and an excellent selection of amenities were supplied. Shijo subway station was 10 min. walk away & a good selection of restaurants & cafes nearby.

Plush gem

Very pleasant hotel with eager-to-please staff. The rooms were particularly clean and plush. Plenty of good restaurants in the neighborhood, and interesting alleys to explore. The only down side is it's a little difficult to find—even for local taxis apparently. Don't let that put you off, just make sure you take a map with you.

Boutique hotel with awesome staff

This new-ish hotel was a delight to stay in. The staff was wonderful and the rooms were immaculate. Murukami-san was particularly helpful with recommendations for restaurants.
Finding this small hotel was challenging but once found, it was not a problem. About 10 mins walk to one of the main roads and subway stations, Nishiki market shopping area and Nijo-jo castle and 20 mins to the Pontocho & Gion areas. Lots of lovely restaurants nearly - ask the staff for recommendations.
We highly recommend this hotel.

In the Heart of Gion Matsuri Festival

This small boutique hotel was great. We were there during Matsuri Gion Festival and it was right in the heart of the action. There was 4 floats located all around us and food and souvenir stalls everywhere as well. Great access to the Nishiki Market, main streets and subways. . The people running the hotel were great hosts. The room is virtually brand new and had some amazing drip coffee. The owners of this 12 room property have thought of everything. Great experience. I would definitely stay here again.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, and I travel a lot for work. This was a pleasure trip and the location was right in the heart of Kyoto. Walking distance from the subway and to the Diamaru shopping mall. Huge room with every facility I have ever seen in a hotel. Super staff, very very helpful. We requested them for some extra bedsheets past 10 pm in the night and they provided without blinking. Thank you.
