Clean room, hospitable staff, spacious lobby lounge to dine and work
The room was beautiful. Staff were very kind and helpful. Amenities supplied in the downstairs area was also very helpful. Absolutely loved it wish we stayed longer!
Loved it
Was conveniently located to just about everything we wanted to see
Staff was awesome. Rooms were bettet than expected!
Across the street from the subway
Perfect location that is a short walk near train and subway stations. Also perfectly located between downtown Kyoto’s shopping and restaurants, and the historic sightseeing area. Room was large, clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Great location and walkable distance to several tourist areas, such as the Yasaka Pagoda, and easy commute to other notable areas, such as Nishiki market via city bus. Great food stores, cafes, and convenience stores nearby. The staff was very helpful and eager to interact with us, great customer service.
It was a lovely room in a quiet lovely little hotel.

The property is small but large enough to offer excellent service. Great location close to a station, stores and restaurants including a lovely bakery. Common areas by the lobby were very useful with complimentary beverages. Very well managed with helpful staff.
Beautiful rooms, large, spacious, functional, great amenities and options available. Staff very friendly and helpful. Boutique style would highly recommend
I love the tidiness and cleanesss. The reception is quick and kind enough.
The location is close enough to the city center, yet less crazy. Walking to Heian Shrine was perfect!!!
I recommend this location to all.
We loved our stay here! The location was perfect for us. It was just enough off the beaten path to not feel busy and touristy, but within walking distance to a number of sights and transportation options.
The staff here are wonderful! They were helpful with restaurant recommendations, anything we needed for our room, and were just genuinely so kind.
Our room was spacious and the layout allowed for lots of places to put our stuff. It was definitely our favorite room on our trip!
I also have to put in a word for the cafe across the street, Le Bac a Sable. While the baked goods are not Japanese, they are yummy. The tarts, specifically, are amazing! That paired with their wonderful bold coffee became a favorite addition to our day.
Review from Canadian tourist: Staff was able to speak a good amount of English and everything was explained to us upon check in. Across the street from train station allowed us to get around easy. 10 minute walk from the river with lots of food options. Place itself was clean and spacious. Free coffee in the mornings in the lobby. Staff and everyone was very friendly and greeted us every time we walked by. Would highly recommend staying here.
A perfect, new and exceptionally clean hotel within easy walk to the heart of Gion. So happy to have found this gem, and would definitely stay in Legasta again.
The best hotel I’ve stayed at here in Japan so far. Really pleasant and nice workers. The ambiance and decor is so calming in a traditional modern Japanese style. Didn’t have breakfast included as an option, however the hotel does sell açaí bowls with bread. They have free coffee, water, and tea for all guests. Desk attendant helped us send our luggage to another hotel.
