What an amazing stay in the heart of Gion with an easy walk to everything. Lots of eateries close by and a 2 minute walk to the station and Main Street of Gion. The service is excellent and we loved the amenity bar stocked with toiletries. The room is comfortable and quiet you just need to use your ninja skills to get in and out of the bed we booked the king room so there is no space to walk around the bed. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location and the onsen is really nice- rooms are a little on the smaller side and can be hot, but the garden view we had was great. Kyoto is not a place to spend too much time in the room anyways so definitely recommend for the prime location in Gion!

Excellent hotel in an excellent centralized location near everything! The staff were extremely helpful, especially when it came time to ship our luggage. They handled everything for us. We didn’t eat the buffet at hotel but there are plenty of restaurants just a few steps away which were excellent. Highly recommend!

This is a very nice boutique hotel with great service and nice facilities, but the best thing about it is the location in Gion district. You are just steps away from the busy streets and alleys full of shops and restaurants, but the hotel is very quiet. Staff is friendly and attentive. Walk to temples or to shops with ease. Breakfast is an awesome buffet of western and Japanese cuisine. Highly recommended.

This is in an ideal location for walking around Gion and Pontocho and the Nishiki areas. The hotel has a yummy breakfast and the staff is very helpful. Bonus we got essential laundry done in their machines ( easy to use) . The rooms are small but functional. The hotel is on a peaceful street and minutes from anything you would need. 10/10 my family will stay there again

The staff were excellent, location is excellent near restaurants and shopping but not on a loud street, lots of free amenities. The only reason I didn't rate this stay as a 5/5 is that I would have appreciated the opportunity to experience the public bath while wearing a cover/swimsuit, but they require full nudity.

This hotel was modern and very central and easily accessible to other areas of Kyoto. Hotel was beautiful; however, our room was very small. We did not have much room as the king size bed took up most of the room. We did not have the option of the deluxe traditional corner suite which are adult kids had. That would have been a better option. Breakfast was excellent, staff wonderful.

Lovely hotel. Great location. Staff very friendly. Room was compact .. as described by the hotel .. the bed is huge and really comfy and as the photos show on the website it literally fits wall to wall. This means you literally have to climb in and out from the bottom. Minimal hanging room for essentials and just enough room to have our suitcases on the floor. Room is modern and has amenities such as kettle / hairdryer. Small sofa to sit on. Would definitely recommend
