My family and I stayed here for 4 nights and we all loved it. The rooms were immaculate, comfortable and spacious. It was in an excellent location, minutes away from the station, bus, grocery store, restaurants and to the Nijo Castle, which I highly recommend you visit.

Beautiful traditional style rooms, and really lovely staff. The only niggle is that the restaurant is tiny and wildly overpriced at over 3500 yen for breakfast— you can do much better (half price) if you go down the road to a cafe.

I absolutely love this place! The staff members are always incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. I stayed in the Deluxe King room, which was exceptionally clean, spacious, and featured a wonderfully soothing aesthetic. The amenities were a highlight as well—the complimentary snack, coffee, tea, and wine were fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable getaway.
