We were here as 2 friends travelling together.
POSITIVES: The room was a great size (compared to some Japanese hotels) with good, customisable lighting (some hotels have had very low lighting in comparison). Had 2 variety of pillows, one with an Interesting neck support thing inbuilt, which I loved. Great location, 500m walk to nishiki markets for food . We didn’t include breakfast, but the cafe opened early (7am) she did good coffee & had a small western breakfast menu. There is a separate public lounge space to hang out/eat your own food.
NEGATIVES: the bathroom fan was on constantly. It wasn’t super loud but could be annoying if you’re a light sleeper. Fixed with ear plugs. Our room window was fully frosted, which while it still let in light & was obviously for privacy to the next door building, meant you couldn’t see the sky/weather.
Overall we really liked this hotel & would definitely stay again.

The hotel is small but beautiful near the famous Nishiki Market. There are tons of restaurants and shops around it. The metro is only a few blocks away. We loved our stay and highly recommend the hotel.

Loved my stay here - the staff is friendly, attentive, and helpful. The room was large, modern, and had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The attached coffee shop to the building is a perfect way to start your day or to wind down, it was a life saver to have something so tasty and reliable right downstairs. The location of the hotel is close by touristy areas but tucked enough away where you’re not feeling overwhelmed. It’s easy to walk anywhere and to get to main public transit. I highly recommend staying here.

Amazing location, spacious rooms, very quiet nights, kind and helpful staff. If we ever come back to Kyoto, we will stay here again. We had some very minor issues with cleanliness (e.g., underneath the beds), otherwise we would have given 5 stars.

Highly recommend - star hotel of our honeymoon!

This was by far my favorite hotel during our 2+ week honeymoon. Very eco-friendly with nice amenities and lovely staff, this hotel had a nice calming vibe, decent sized room, and was a great location. It made our next hotel stay almost upsetting. The toilet was separate from the shower, which was nice, and we loved the pajamas. I can't stop raving about the pillow, which I think had buckwheat in it. While we would have liked a better view, everything else was just superb. Cannot wait to go back for another stay.

Lovely property, would stay again and highly recommend. Very good location and super friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are nice and big, very clean. The only downside is the tiled flooring in the bathroom, it's the type of material that stains easily and looks very hard to clean. Due to the texture, it looks dirty even though it probably isn't.

The rooms are spacious compared to others we stayed in, in Japan. They appear to be newly renovated and feel quite luxurious. The beds are very firm.
A big negative for me is the fact that the windows are completely covered with a translucent film, so even though the light comes through the film, you cannot see out. This may or may not bother you.

Great boutique hotel near Nishiki Market

We liked everything about this hotel: the location, comfort of the beds/pillows, pajamas (in fact, I purchased a pair to take home), amenities, size of the room, and especially the coffee cafe, Common Well, off the lobby. This is hotel we would revisit. The only odd thing about our room was the very large glass window that was completely frosted. We had lovely day light, but couldn’t see out the window to even check the weather.

Hotel staff’s service was impeccable. We came early, so we wanted to leave our luggages there while we explored Nishiki market which was nearby. The staff helped us to keep our luggages and said they’ll deliver the luggages to our room which was a nice touch. On top of that, when we checked in, they had a little welcome snack at the lounge with tea and sweets for us. The toiletries offered were also of great quality as compared to the usual ones provided at other hotels. The hotel was really close to Nishiki market and relatively close to the main shopping district too. Was a little bit of a walk though with luggages from the nearby stations.
