Beautiful traditional style rooms, and really lovely staff. The only niggle is that the restaurant is tiny and wildly overpriced at over 3500 yen for breakfast— you can do much better (half price) if you go down the road to a cafe.

I absolutely love this place! The staff members are always incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming.

This is a small boutique hotel on a narrow street. Well out of the normal noise and bustle of Kyoto, has a lot of Japanese influence, not a lot of amenities. They don't do laundry but have a good breakfast.
