Check in was a breeze. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Free transportation to and from Kyoto Station. The location was perfect walking distance to Hokan-Jo Temple. Going to the Onsen late at night was a perfect ending to a long walking day.

A hybrid of modern and traditional hotel located in Gion. The Kodaiji temple is visible from the hotel front and within 7 minutes of walk. Most of restaurants, train stations, and main attractions are walkable within 15-20 minutes. The room was clean and well designed to use small spaces. Housekeeping came daily and there were complimentary snacks and drinks. Overall a fantastic stay!

The staffs of the hotel was very nice and helpful. On the way to the hotel, my wife left her phone in the taxi, she was very upset and panic, the person at front desk helped us to get the phone back. I have been Kyoto three times, I would say this hotel is the best, if I come to Kyoto in future, I would stay this hotel again.

This hotel was a real gem. A very Japanese feel to it. The breakfast was out of this world and as it was buffet style it suited me perfectly with my allergies. All ingredients that could have affected me were written beside the dishes. It was a very tasty breakfast.
I indulged in the tempura dinner menu and it was scrumptious and worth the price.
I would definitely stay in this hotel if I went back to Japan.

Service upon check-in was excellent and the room was spacious and clean. We opted to include the breakfast buffet which had enough variety to easily support 3 or 4 visits.
