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!

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