I loved the location, it was so easy to walk to everything and it felt like a quiet, peaceful place. Also breakfast was good and had a large selection and was open early.
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.
The rooms were tastefully decorated, clean
and large. There was free happy hour every evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful booking us taxis. It is a great location. We would stay 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.

Their outstanding hospitality and attention to detail made all the difference. I’m so grateful for the excellent service and would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with a team that genuinely cares about their guests. I would definitely stay here again!
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.
Great property all around. Staff very nice and professional. Concierge out with two wonderful restaurant reservations. Really nice breakfast. Definitely recommended.
This was the greatest hotel I’ve ever stayed at in my life. The customer service and staff is off the chart, helpful and kind and make you feel like you’re on a luxury vacation. The room was incredible and the bathhouse was really spectacular.
I am torn about writing a review because this place was so amazing and I want to keep it hidden. This place exceeded all my expectations and the location was perfect. The staff were all friendly and went above and beyond. Hands down 5 stars and we will be back.
