This was the best hotel we stayed in Japan. Staff was super helpful and all spoke great English. The rooms were large and clean. Most things to do were within walking distance of the hotel. Overall this hotel experience helped the remainder of our trip be stress free.

Fantastic modern boutique hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. They often recommended places to eat and things to do. The only downside is that breakfast is very basic. The location is fantastic and walking distance from most attractions in Gion. I would definitely recommend this place.

A memorably excellent stay

An excellent stay. Spotlessly clean. Incredibly helpful staff. Brilliant location. Elegant, stylish. The sauna in room was a huge plus in winter. The breakfast buffet was simple but tasty and good value. We really loved this hotel.

Walking to Gion area and to Kyomizu-dera with amazing view to Kyoto and walk along small beautiful traditional shops. The room size is great for the three of us. Sauna and oxygen bath in the room are great addition. Also, free laundry is a big plus. Hotel is modern with the touch of Japanese ryokan style. The food in the restaurant is vegan. We really enjoy our stay.

Was one of our favorite hotels while staying in Japan. Staff was great. Breakfast was high quality for the price. Room was clean, modern and spacious. The large tub and sauna made it a peaceful sanctuary to return to after running around Kyoto. Wished we’d stayed longer.

Very impressed by the accommodations provided. Only visible minor issue was not being able to use the black-out shades with the button interface provided in the room, but that could just be user error and is definitely not enough to detract from a 5/5 experience

BEAUTIFUL location, super convenient and walkable for sightseeing in Kyoto. We booked a room with a private sauna which was incredible after a long day of walking all over Kyoto. The oxygen bubble bath in our room only worked once (tried to use it 3 times), but that was the only hiccup with the accommodations. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the hotel itself (especially the outside at night) is very pretty. Coffee/water and amenities in the lobby are a nice touch. 10/10 recommend!!
