Small but amazing

We arrived at 7am and staff were courteous and friendly. It took little time to drop off our bags and check in. On our return at 5pm, staff ensured we received our room keys and luggage quickly and explained the rules of the onsen. This hotel is close to Kyoto station and many subway/bus lines. It's a great hotel to stay at

The location is absolutely convenient for all purposes! Staff of the Hotel are very friendly and knowledgeable, they provide information for local restaurants available for Japanese breakfast. This Hotel has natural spring hot but pools 24 hours for your enjoy. Just walk distance to the railway station and bus stop right in front door, connecting shopping area and many places.

Best in Kyoto

Everything here exceeds expectation. I would give more than 5 points if I could. Breakfast is the best during my stay in Japan. Shuttle bus to tourist areas, and hot springs are plus. Room environment is comfortable with special materials
