This hotel is amazing! The room was very nice, and they make a great experience for travellers in the reception area. It’s walkable distance to a lot of sightseeing areas, and otherwise had a metro station and bus stops next door that can take you anywhere. We loved our stay here and would definitely stay again!

I stayed here with my wife and toddler in late April. The hotel was wonderful and the staff so friendly. They even put on some free drinks for us in the evenings which was amazing. The hotel is in a good location, modern, clean, and is a decent size. We really enjoyed it.

Modern boutique hotel makes a perfect base

Modern and boutique feeling hotel- lovely, great corner room, incredibly comfortable bedding. Convenient location next to subway line but not directly in the Kyoto center bustle. Hotel directly abuts picturesque stream.

A fabulous hotel. Really helpful staff, comfy beds. Evening perk, free alcohol and snacks in the lounge! Only downside? Not. Enough drawer space but that might be standard in Japanese hotel. Would definitely return and recommend

Great hotel and good location just off the beaten path, but if you are walkers, then this place is for you. :15-:20 minutes to anywhere. Lawsons convenience store right next store with wonderful snacks and food. People who run hotel are very kind. Wish there was a breakfast option available to those that didn't sign up. Also, we didn't know that our kids had to sleep on futon mattresses on the floor. They had horrible sleep. Wish it was the room with the photo. Also, the BEST shower and water pressure I have EVER had!

We loved our stay at this stylish small hotel. Our corner room was spacious, with sensational views over the city, hills and Shirakawa River. The bed was firm, the shower strong and the amenities were decent for our five night stay. One of the things we liked most about the hotel was its lobby and lounge area, with picture windows taking in the river and autumn leaves and books to enjoy on a cold afternoon. It had such a calm atmosphere. Breakfast was served here (delicious and good value at 1500 per person), as was complimentary tea and coffee during the day and drinks in the evening, which we enjoyed before heading out to dinner. The staff were really nice and so helpful, and we liked that it was in a quiet part of Kyoto, yet close to various sights and restaurants and right next to a subway station making it easy to get around. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend! Perfect stay

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Kyoto for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The service here was fantastic - we arrived a few hours before check in and dropped our bags off and when we returned to check in the bags had been taken to our room. Check in was really smooth and speedy too! The room itself was spotless and had everything you needed for an enjoyable stay - including a very comfortable bed! The shower has to be the best one I’ve ever used in a hotel - it felt like you were in a spa and the toiletries were really high quality too! The lobby area was really modern and the hotel offered free drinks and snacks for a couple of hours every night which was the perfect chance to relax after a day of exploring! The location was really good too! I would highly recommend a stay here - I would definitely return when visiting Kyoto again 10/10

창문이 여러 군데라서 낮은 층인데도 뷰가 좋았습니다. 시설도 좋고 깨끗했어요. 다만 블라인드가 있기는 해도 완전히 암막이 되지 않아서 빛에 민감한 분들은 안대 챙겨가시면 좋을 것 같아요.
