It’s a brand new hotel that was beautifully designed. The rooms are spacious and well- appointed and the amenities well-curated. It’s located in a quiet residential area and away from the high-traffic tourist areas but within easy walking distance to many areas of interest as well as to 2 train stations. The staff were all very welcoming and accommodating, especially Ruby and Viola who welcomed us upon arrival and patiently answered our many questions. We highly recommend this hotel.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel in Kyoto and would absolutely recommend it to anyone, especially families. The rooms were impressively spacious, very clean, and had extremely comfortable beds—something we really appreciated after long days of exploring. The lobby coffee/hot chocolate machine was a great touch too, and the latte was actually really good! The staff truly made our stay exceptional. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. One of the best parts about this hotel is its location. It’s tucked away in a quieter, less crowded area, which made it feel peaceful and relaxing, yet it was still within walking distance to many attractions and great spots around Kyoto. Overall, a perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and calm. We would definitely stay here again!

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel (nuovissimo) e ci siamo trovati davvero molto bene. La posizione è buona, comoda a tutti i servizi: fermata della metropolitana, autobus e konbini sono raggiungibili in pochi minuti. L’hotel offre diversi servizi molto utili, tra cui distributori di bevande calde e fredde e una lavanderia con asciugatrice gratuita, davvero comoda soprattutto per soggiorni più lunghi. La camera era spaziosa, pulita e confortevole. Un ringraziamento speciale va al personale, sempre estremamente gentile, disponibile e sorridente. La loro cordialità ha reso il soggiorno ancora più piacevole. Consiglio vivamente questo hotel a chi cerca comfort, praticità e un’accoglienza impeccabile.
