Loved our stay here while we were in Kyoto! Staff was so welcoming and friendly - the rooms were clean and modern. The location was perfect, close enough to walk to all the places we wanted to and on a very quiet street!

It’s a great experience trying the old-style rooms. Because you’re sleeping on the floor the mattress and pillow is stiffer than the average hotel ones, which we loved.
Location is in the middle of everywhere which means walking to a station or a nearby busier area is about a 10 min walk.

Outstanding Japanese hospitality, located within walking distance of Kyoto’s exquisite historical and spiritual sites, as well as its modern, vibrant shopping districts. This is a superb choice for any visitor.

Ideal stay in Kyoto
It was such a magical experience. To stay in a modern hotel converted into traditional Japanese room with modern amenities was such an experience. The location of the hotel was perfect since it was centrally located and easy to walk to train stations, restaurants and tourist spots. The staff were very accommodating and friendly going out of their way to cater to your needs. And as a bonus, the tea house setup by the lobby was perfect way to spend a quiet morning or cap up the long day with stories with your friends.

Loved this hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I stayed in the standard double room and it was obnoxiously big. Not just for Japan… but in general. So. Big. Would likely stay here again.
