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.

The staff were very welcoming, taking our luggage to our room before we arrived, as we had sent a couple of suitcases from Tokyo. Breakfast isn't available at the property but there are options nearby. The complimentary tea and coffee in the room was a nice touch and the room was in excellent condition. It was a delight to experience such a classic-styled room.

Great hotel!!
This hotel was super pretty!! Really good honestly and space was sizeable for Japan! It was a 5-7 minute walk from the bus stop so you do have to haul your luggage around but honestly a quick walk, pretty well situated close to some touristy stuff but far enough for it to be in a quiet area. My only complaint is the bathroom, it’s a bit small so I had to shuffle around to wash my hair and the curtain had a stain on it. But besides that everything was perfect!!

The place was very quaint with traditional and modern amenities. The concierge was very nice and helpful. She helped cancel and book a restaurant reservation for me prior to my stay. She was also very helpful in giving advice and tips on exploring the area. The room was really spacious.

This was our second stay at this location, we loved it last year and really wanted to stay here again. The staff is very friendly, the facility is clean, there's a tea room with free tea and coffee next to the lobby. You can do laundry for free. The only thing was that there are only 2 washers and 2 dryers for the entire building, and there was always people waiting.

Beautiful hotel with large rooms. We stayed in 4 different hotels throughout Japan and this was by far our favourite. Great location (Walking distance to transit, restaurants and lots of shopping).

This was a lovely hotel, with excellent staff and facilities. We had a Machiya room which was spacious and well appointed. The only complaint, from an old man with a bad back and bad knees, get in and out of the futon on the floor was a bit annoying. Would definitely still go back.

Property was in a good central location, however the walls and the ceiling were very thin so you could hear the guests upstairs walking around in their room or talking next door.

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.
