Great sized rooms with plenty of extras - really thoughtful of any needs. Location is super convenient and walkable distance to the main temple Kiyomizu-dera as well as the city center. They also have a great onsen, which is very relaxing after a full day of sightseeing. Will definitely come back here when I visit Kyoto again.

What a wonderful property this is, for the moment you enter the door, it feels luxurious, but also so comfortable and welcoming. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, everything is clean and smells wonderful, and rooms and spacious and comfortable. The hotel is located in a wonderful area of Kyoto and provides a shuttle service to the station which was very convenient. I would definitely be coming back and cannot recommend it enough.

This property was fantastic. The location was amazing - right in the heart of Gion which made it extremely walkable. The staff was friendly and professional. But my favorite thing about the hotel had to be the on sight Onsen! Would definitely recommend this property when in Kyoto.
