What a beautiful hotel! The location was fantastic, easy walking distance to Kyoto station and great restaurants and izakayas. The staff was exceptional and took our bags to our room so we could jet off on a tour we were running late for. My son enjoyed the onsen/public bath while I enjoyed the nice deep tub in the room. The breakfast buffet was seriously over the top with everything you could desire, including fresh baked bread and pastries to omelet bar, and every Japanese entre to try soft serve ice cream, espresso, etc

My partner and I visited Japan recently and this was our favorite hotel stay. The property is about a 7 minute walk from the train station, and a 15ish minute walk to the main shopping areas. It is surrounded by plenty of restaurants and locally owned shops as well. While they charge an extra fee for early check in, we were able to leave our luggage in the lobby and explore the town until the check in time began. Staff is friendly and easy to communicate with. The room is gorgeous and while a little on the smaller side, it was extremely cozy, clean and quiet. Would 100% stay here again and take advantage of the on-site restaurant.
Our room. Small but beautiful and enough space for two people.
We stumbled across a small market about 7 minutes away from the hotel.
This temple was a quick Uber ride away from the hotel.

The room was very nice and clean. It was great to return to our rooms after a long day to a clean and tidy space. It was disappointing that there was but one small window in the room so it was not a bright room. There was nothing to see. The tub and shower was in one room and the sink and vanity was very narrow. Having access to Netflix was a big plus since we couldn’t understand Japanese. The one annoying thing was that the bgm-background music would always turn on as soon as you entered the room. It wasn’t a setting that you could leave off! Bed was very comfortable and room was spacious. Front desk staff was very helpful. Location close to Kyoto station was a big plus and having 7-11 across the street for late night snacks was convenient.
