I really loved staying here. The hotel is very nice, the rooms are warm and comfy. They offer complementary coffee, tea and matcha that you can make yourself. And the stuff is extra friendly. When I return to Kyoto I’d definitely stay here. Thank you!

A 4-Star hotel looks and feels different to me. The rooms are ok from the size, but in general not really clean. Large stains on the carpet and walls, staff not really friendly or smiling. The bar is miserable - service and drinks below average and there isn‘t even a Lobby Area.

Cozy small hotel mixing modern and traditional japanese design and vibe in a very natural way. The room was very nice, clean, providing all we needed. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Location is great, easy to get anywhere on foot or with public transport. The only downside is that they only have 2 washing machines for the whole hotel

There's also a smoking room on the ground floor along with toilets. Room was ...
