We loved our stay at Tassel Hotel. It is stylish and well located along the canal. The neighborhood is quiet but very walkable to major sites and steps away from an underground train station. We would definitely (hopefully!) stay hereagain.

We loved the free drinks and snacks in the evening. The breakfast is healthy and locally-sourced. The Shirakawa River beside the hotel is pretty. The soba and sushi restaurants beside the hotel are excellent. It’s close to Meiji jingu and a Tsutaya bookstore which feels peaceful.

Beautiful hotel, good space in the rooms. The lobby is lovely to sit in next to a stream. The staff are outstanding, they helped us sending our luggage smoothly to the next location and were very helpful. I wish they had pointed out that there are free drinks and food in the evening as I did not realise until our check out date!! Would recommend, the best shower I've had!!

This hotel is amazing! The room was very nice, and they make a great experience for travellers in the reception area. It’s walkable distance to a lot of sightseeing areas, and otherwise had a metro station and bus stops next door that can take you anywhere. We loved our stay here and would definitely stay again!

Highly recommend! Perfect stay

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Kyoto for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The service here was fantastic - we arrived a few hours before check in and dropped our bags off and when we returned to check in the bags had been taken to our room. Check in was really smooth and speedy too! The room itself was spotless and had everything you needed for an enjoyable stay - including a very comfortable bed! The shower has to be the best one I’ve ever used in a hotel - it felt like you were in a spa and the toiletries were really high quality too! The lobby area was really modern and the hotel offered free drinks and snacks for a couple of hours every night which was the perfect chance to relax after a day of exploring! The location was really good too! I would highly recommend a stay here - I would definitely return when visiting Kyoto again 10/10

Great hotel and good location just off the beaten path, but if you are walkers, then this place is for you. :15-:20 minutes to anywhere. Lawsons convenience store right next store with wonderful snacks and food. People who run hotel are very kind. Wish there was a breakfast option available to those that didn't sign up. Also, we didn't know that our kids had to sleep on futon mattresses on the floor. They had horrible sleep. Wish it was the room with the photo. Also, the BEST shower and water pressure I have EVER had!
