Excellent hotel and comfortable stay
Wonderful ambience, aesthetic, excellent service, quiet and comfortable hotel with central patio and tea bar in lobby. Good location close to popular shrines and museums.
Very busy but good breakfast. Small gym space suitable for 2-3 people. One single washing machine (mostly occupied).
The service was excellent and staff very helpful.

This is my favourite hotel of all the hotels in which I have ever stayed. The room was excellent; the bed was comfortable; and the location was great. The entire staff was exceedingly friendly and service-oriented. The quiet alleys around the hotel are picturesque, and the location is ideal for short, early-morning walks to some temples and shrines that get crowded during the day. If I come back to Kyoto, I will be staying here.

Beautiful hotel and room. Only negative for some rooms would be the sound of the trains that you can see from the upper levels. They do stop running after 11? But start up again early. It’s wasn’t super loud but a light sleeper would be woken.

Excellent stay
Incredible place. Hospitality was perfect. Breakfast buffet was the best on our trip. Beds were also the most comfortable. The private onsen was well worth the reasonable price. Couldn’t say enough good about our stay.

Really enjoyed my stay here. As a tourist, I really enjoyed the shuttle bus the hotel offered as I didn't have to figure out how to get from the train station to the hotel. Staff was very friendly and the room was very clean and nice. Would definitely recommend!
