Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms are small but very cozy, with the unique feature of a mobile device for navigation within Kyoto, making the stay convenient. The service is welcoming and friendly, although there was an issue with heating during the stay. The location is good, close to metro stations and sightseeing spots. The dining experience offers delicious Japanese breakfast options and a variety of menus. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences to note.
The hotel rooms were clean and had everything we needed, but felt a bit small, especially with three people staying. The separate shower and toilet setup was interesting, and having a smartphone for hotel and outdoor use was a nice touch. The reception area was cozy and served as a good meeting spot.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The Japanese Room, which I highly recommend, was spacious with awesome design. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location is close enough to walk to the center of town and offers good value for the budget. The dining experience was delicious with multiple set options to choose from.

The rooms have tatami flooring, but lack a closet, making the suitcase your closet. The service is friendly and offers open crafting sessions with free sake. The dining options are tasty but not the sturdiest. The location allows for relaxation and easy access to transportation while being a bit far from the main attractions.

The hotel has amazing rooms that feel like a big living room but can be damp and wet at times, almost like a sauna. The staff are all lovely, welcoming, and speak great English, making the service top-notch.
