Charming yet practical in the central location.

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.

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.
