This was one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in. Each room is unique and is put together with so much thought. The hotel itself is spotless and offers plenty of amenities. There's even a cafe on the top floor with great quality coffee. The staff was helpful with every request we had, and helped facilitate our luggage forwarding. The location can't be beat. I would recommend to anyone staying in Kyoto!

The room was spotless. the location was outstanding--I'd had some concerns not staying at a "Kyoto Station" hotel, but not only was transit very convenient here, you're steps away from the Pontocho Alley and about a 10" walk to the Gion district. I will say the wi-fi was not the most reliable and you are not able to get fresh air in the room at night (staff say there are safety concerns with opening the windows at night). The cafe and breakfast were also excellent with super friendly staff and breakfast at the right portions.

I am very happy about the stay. I can see the owner tries the best for this hotel. All staffs are friendly and lovely. The room i stayed is big and beautiful. I will want to stay here again if i visit Kyoto. Just a couples of suggestion: 1. Remove mouldy smell in the bathroom. 2. The windows in the bathroom makes customer feel insecure. 3. The room is too dry. 4. I dont like windows blinds in the room as it cannot block all sunlight and forces me to wake up in the morning. Thanks again for the excellent experience!

Great location and easy walk to shops and Nishiki market. The room definitely was style above function as to we had to remove a couple of the art pieces to be able to access areas of the room ( these were of course replaced on vacating). Staff were definitely less friendly than other hotels we had stayed in but they were helpful when needed. The bathroom and showers facilities were excellent. Would I stay here again- I’m afraid not.

It was the worst experience when I stayed in Japan. The room is very small, and there is no furniture, no phone. The service was terrible and significantly reduced in the name of environment protection. This hotel is marked as 4 stars in Expedia, but it is only two stars actually. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone.
