Verified review

8/10 Very good

This hotel was in a fantastic location, close to the shops, restaurants and wards. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was great to come back to after a long day of walking. The staff was friendly and housekeeping was diligent in making sure one had fresh towels everyday. We would definitely stay here if in the area again.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The initial room we were allocated was downstairs and very musty, but the hotel manager moved us up to the third floor and the room was great. Not a big room, as expected in Japan, but more than adequate for our two night stay. Was a bit hard to find initially, but location was great in the Gion area for eating, bars overlooking the river, sightseeing and easy access to the trains (including the local train to Osaka at a significantly lower price than the Bullet train). Well worth the stay for the location alone!

This was a great location and beautiful place! The only thing worth mentioning is the under whelming breakfast with cold tempura, especially for the price. I would skip the breakfast option and go with something else. Everything else was great!!

A great hotel located across the river from Pontocho and well situated for moving around the city. A quiet neighborhood. Breakfast was not easily available at the restaurant - we didn’t manage to arrange it in our three night stay.

Nice little hotel in a great location. The staff was really wonderful and extremely helpful. Recommended a great teppanyaki place, and were able to get us a reservation even though that restaurant is very busy and popular, helped us with luggage forwarding and were willing to go out of the way to help with anything that was needed. Even though the rooms were a bit small, they were absolutely spotlessly clean with comfortable beds

Friendly staff and easy check in. Room on the 5th floor was fantastic - spacious, an incredibly comfortable bed, and we loved being able to warm up and relax with hot baths after busy days of exploring Kyoto. The hotel is in a great location, close to metro trains and other great spots to eat and drink. Highly recommended.
