Located conveniently to the Gion district of Kyoto, a relatively short walk to Kiyomizu-dera, and also Pontocho and the modern heart of Kyoto. Big, comfortable beds, and modern meets old world style. In-site onsen and bar, what more could you want?

Location is very good, 1 min away from the main shopping street with all the good shops, especially for Wagashi. However, room was some kind of small “studio flat” -like with the bed stuck at the end, only accessible from the front. All in all, it was great, but room didn’t make me feel cosy enough.

This place has gone downhill in general hospitality and some things have suffered physically. The staff is terrible and rules based and tries to charge for everything. Asking for extra towels is met with shock. The laundry room is extremely dirty and the dryers don’t work very well causing backups. It’s a beautiful place but upkeep and behavior is half-energy. I got a deal under $100 and based on my experience that was a value. Anything 1.5 times that I’d say look into other options. New management is needed.

AMAZING hotel in Kyoto. This hotel was by far my favorite from my stay in Japan. I love the design and features. I really liked the peaceful vibes for the Japanese style room, and the traditional Japanese breakfast was amazing. Thank you for making my short stay in Kyoto so memorable.
