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.

The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout, with comfortable beds. The location was excellent, and there were free drinks and snacks available downstairs the whole day. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they even provided free bikes to explore the city. I could go on and on about this place!

Amazing hotel and design. The room was close to perfection with all the comfort. Staff was incredibly helpful and professional. This place felt like the closest to perfection I ever had in hotellerie. Nowadays a lot of hotel have the 5 star but they are far away from the standard of a real one. This is a real one.

The room was ample in size, especially for Japan. Hotel was in a good location. Not city centre, but 2 stops away in a quiet neighbourhood with a lot of history. Walking distance to everything you need, supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants. Staff were helpful an always happy to accommodate any requests. Beds were comfy and a good size, but only as single beds. No double bed, however, futons are available to use in the tatami room.

Next door to Imperial Palace Gardens - unique butterflies & birds, trees 300+ yrs old - great for early/late walks open 24hours. On the main subway with only a few stops downtown. 15 mins walk from amazing Raku Museum, also Textile Museum and Niljo Castle (slightly further - Home of the Shogun)

Breakfast comes with home-made everything which is delicate, delicious and satisfying. Great location with quiet and chill neighbourhood which is only 5mins walk from the station and close to city centre. So grateful we have chosen this place to stay.
