Absolutely incredible stay. The room was beautiful, the staff was kind and accommodating, the facilities were unreal, and two major sightseeing destinations and a train stop were within walking distance. Highly recommend; we splurged for our honeymoon but are now unlikely to stay anywhere else.

Lovely Stay!

I loved our stay in Kyoto. This hotel is close to two bus stops and a subway stop. The restaurant downstairs is also lovely. The laundry on-site is also a huge win. The only thing that we didn’t enjoy was the lack of wifi. The service was spotty at best.

Nice modern rooms combined with a traditional Japanese style. The bathroom was a good size with a separate area for sink and toilet and a wet room shower/bath. The location was good, just around the corner from Marutamachi underground station, linking to main Kyoto station via the Karasuma line. The hotel is also only a short walk to the Kyoto imperial palace park. Breakfast was nice, I had the western option which was a section of bread rolls, eggs, tea, smoothie and soup. The hotel also has a very pleasant lounge area for guests to sit and relax. Staff were very attentive and polite and rooms were kept very clean and well looked after. I would definitely stay again.

Amazing establishment! Very trendy, architectural and beautifully decorated. A great mood overall. We loved the guest lounge, the café and the tatami mats in the room. Everything felt brand new and premium, despite the affordable price. 10/10 would recommend.

This hotel is beautiful. The staff were kind, helpful, and so welcoming. The hotel itself is located in a great neighbourhood, we loved exploring. It about a 20 min walk to the shopping arcade, pontocho alley, and the market. The bus stop is about 2 min walk away and the same goes for the subway station. Overall a great hotel.

Beautiful hotel and close to the imperial palace. The cafe, roof terrace and hotel lounge were stand outs. Slightly unusual layout with bathroom but worked out well with the family.
