Very nice hotel in central Kyoto. The hotel is not far from the tube station. 10 minutes by train to go to the main train station in Kyoto. The room is very clean and the bed is super comfy. Breakfast is really good with many products to choose from, for all tastes. The price is quite reasonable considering the high standard of the hotel. Definitely recommend it for a nice stay in Kyoto.

Excellent hotel in the middle of Kyoto. The hotel is new, just opened, very beautiful, great style, combining modern and classic japanese style Rooms are very big (!!!), very wide, a lot of space next to beds, size that is not common even for Europe, letalone for Japan (we had a room for three). Price is also very very good. Personnel super profy, the whole place has a super cool vibe. We also stayed in Kyoto at another hotel, at the same price, and they don't even begin to compare. Also very close (10 min walk or less) to Teramachi shopping street, and Nishiki market.

Loved the amazing friendly and helpful  staff, who gave us good advice and discussions. Great location in central Gion in a quiet street but walking distance to almost anything.  Great variety and range of eating places and the river close by and of course as many temples as you need with cool peaceful gardens as well as museums. Nishiki Market is a short bus ride or interesting 20min walk.  The room was beautiful and fully equipped incl a small kitchenette, electric blackout curtains and lots of tech Breakfasts were copious and varied to suit most tastes, best scrambled egss in Japan. Amazingly bestiful designer chairs in a little sitting area and free laundry room was an unexpected bonus!

The facilities are simple and easy to use. Because there are few guest rooms, movement in hall is smooth. The location is very good right in front of Minami Kannonyama of the Gion Festival. The lounge had iced tea, apple juice and snacks during tea time, and beer and alcoholic drinks during bar time, which was comfortable.

Marina and Nami at the front desk were both very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and clean. The lounge having drinks and a bit of food was a welcome touch. We would recommend this hotel to our family and friends.

The Onsen was just perfect, it was one of the top experiences I had during the trip, and it was inside the hotel. The breakfast was a buffet, which was a perfect way to try many meals at once.

    We don’t often stay in ‘nice hotels’ so this was such a treat. The service is truly 5 stars. The hotel itself feels very luxurious through every touch. It was nice to have the swimming pool as being Summer and Aussies, we had missed being able to have a splash. Tattoos needed to be covered up, but it was open all day without reservations which was great compared to other hotels. Our view overlooked a Temple, the Kyoto Tower and some mountains. Room was spacious. Location good, close enough walk to Kyoto station. We didn’t dine onsite.

    The best hotel I stayed in while in Japan. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The detailed design and finishes of the room were outstanding. The bathroom colour for instance was an unexpected yet VERY classy. The staff was friendly and super helpful in helping me get around. I loved the reception area. Also well appointed with a beautiful stream view. The apéritivo till 10 PM was an excellent touch (sake collection, snacks, tea and coffee).
