The room is really big with a tatami area where you can relax. You can move the beds around easily. Everyone in the front desk speaks fluent English. It has an old school key lock. It only has roughly 12 rooms. So even though it only has 1 washer, it was empty every time we have to use it. It also had an ice and water machine. It is in a quiet neighbourhood that is close to many shrines. The only minor complaint I have is there was a weird smell coming from either the washroom or the shower room. We had to turn the exhaust fan on the entire time to get rid of it. Also the TV was positioned in away such that it took me 5 minutes to connect the HDMI.

Located in a very quiet neighborhood near convenient stores and restaurants. Very clean hotel and friendly staff. A block away is a river, it is peaceful and serene. Keep in mind that housekeeping comes every 4 days and the lobby hours are very limited, staff isn't there 24hrs. Check in is at 4pm. Also read the washer and dryer directions very carefully because it washed my clothes again and I had to pay to dry it again. Overall, I highly recommend for a stay in Kyoto.

Hotel is away from the crowd but in a super conveniet location. Close to Higashiyama Sanjo subway station and walking distance to major attractions. Enjoyed browsing around the neighborhoold to feel the life of the locals. Wonderful options for meals, from authentic french pastry for breakfast to fusion with local fresh ingredients for dinner. The premises is very well maintain and equipped. Enjoyed staying in the room with two twin beds as well as tatatmi area - the fusion of modern and tradition.

みやこめっせでの仕事にいくために宿泊しました。近くに静かなバルもあり、軽食を1人でとるにも便利でした。周辺もコンビニ、スーパーがあり多少の買い物も困りません。大通りに近くタクシーも広い安いです。ホテルの室内がやや暗く、洗面台はメイクをするにはもう少し明るいライトを用意してほしいです。新しくきれいな宿でした。
