The Best Kyoto Rooftop Hotel
My absolute favorite hotel during our 14 day/5 hotel Japan trip. The location is perfect, very close to the train station and hidden charming bars and restaurants of Kyoto. Easy walk to Higashiyama Ward and Kiyomizu-Dera Temple (both so lovely and breathtaking!). The rooftop is the real magic here, watch a sunrise or sunset and you won’t believe your eyes as the colors change. Complimentary drink service every night was a great way to kick off our evenings. Costa provided for cold weather. Drink a hot coffee on the rooftop while soaking your feet in the foot bath and plan out your daily adventure. Bed was the comfiest we had in Japan. Shower and bathroom was perfection. Provided face cleaners and oils were top notch. There is a daily bath fee at the hotel you will need to pay when checking in so keep that in mind. Will always stay here when in Kyoto!

Excellent hotel in Kyoto
We cannot recommend this hotel enough. It was in an excellent location with lots to do in the area. Also very close to a station, so travel to other areas in Kyoto was extremely easy. The rooftop foot spa was amazing at the end of a long day. The staff were excellent, from check in to check out. Laundry room was easy to access and check in/check out was quick and seamless. This hotel is an excellent choice and should be considered if you visit Kyoto!!!

6/10 Good

Value for price paid was underwhelming at this hotel. If you're looking for a traditional Japanese experience, this may work for you but we would've liked more amenities. As others mention, the rooms are VERY small by western standards. I was traveling with my mother and we did not feel the space was adequate to be comfortable in the room. The rooms may work better for couples or a single traveler but families should look elsewhere. Additionally, the hotel lacks meaningful lounge / shared space to compensate for the tiny rooms. I'd also note that the hotel only provides a traditional Japanese breakfast, whereas most other hotels we stayed (at this price point) offered a Japanese and western breakfast option. The main selling point for the hotel is the onsen, which we did not realize does not allow bathing suits so bathers must be nude. Perhaps this was poor research on our part, but my mother wasn't comfortable so she didn't use the hotel's primary amenity. The location is very central which is great but concierge advice on restaurants was underwhelming and no room service was available when we would have liked to order to the room. We took the chance on the boutique hotel but would have preferred amenities and room size of a larger chain hotel.

The roof top area for eating breakfast was a wonderful way to start your day while the free evening drink and foot bath was relaxing after a day of touring Kyoto.The bento breakfast boxes were excellent. The Onsen baths were great with one having a view of the mountains where you could see sunrise. Staff were excellent and committed to ensuring guests have a wonderful experience. Great value.
