Love the location. It was in a quiet neighbourhood but still very close to transport and food options. It was such a great area to wake up and find a little coffee shop and wander the street early.
The room was a good size for our family of four and had everything you needed, particularly the washing machine. The beds were also really comfy. We would come back and stay here again
This hotel is in a nice, quiet part of Kyoto close to Nijo castle. It is also close to a subway station and a number of good restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and off-hours access was no problem. The staff at reception were very helpful and helped us ship our luggage and find various services within the city. Would definitely stay here again.
Loved the apartment, washing/drying facilities great. This was our favourite accomodation of our japan trip. Good location with bus only a couple of mins walk. Trains/subway a little further out.

It was great to have a non- hotel experience on our trip to Japan. The property was a 7 min walk from the subway, quiet, and had everything or family needed.
It's clean and quiet. Good location. Convenience and grocery store within walking distance. Served my family of 4 perfectly.
