"We had a wonderful stay here. The rooms were spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable, and beautifully designed. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Perfect location, too! We will definitely be back."
Wonderful property in an excellent location. The room was lovely and provided a great space for a family of 3. The washer/dryer combo was super helpful!

A very nice and cute hotel that perfectly combines modern comfort with traditional Japanese design. The tatami room adds a unique and calming touch. Everything was spotless, making the stay extremely pleasant.
Pre check in was available, easy to do.
The room we booked was quite spacious, exceptionally clean and quite luxurious. The washer-dryer combo unit worked well. Laundry detergent was provided. We used it on a daily basis, clothes came out completely dry.
Pots, pans, plates, bowls, utensils, a knife, scissors and dish soap were provided in the kitchen.
I cannot find a single negative thing to say about this place even if I wanted to nit pick.
Definitely recommended for a family traveling together.

Very clean unit, and staffs are very good and helpful
Excellent hotel. So glad we found it. Close to Gojo Station (1 stop North of Kyoto Station). Seamless check in and check out. They were happy to hold our luggage until 5pm the day of check out. Rooms are very spacious with great amenities. A fun highlight for girls: they offer the Panasonic smart hairdryers in the rooms. I loved using it!

Property and room was very clean. Property convenient to market, convenience stores and a metro station. Only complaint is our toilet started leaking the second day and could not be fixed until the next week. We were only there for three nights. We had two options: 1) continue to use the room and use the toilet in another room 2) split us up into two rooms. It was my wife and son. We opted for the two rooms which were significantly smaller. I initially reserved a big room that had two bedrooms. I was disappointed that we could not get the same size room as I had initially reserved. Other than that it was a comfortable stay.

I had trouble using the remote check in and check out process. Had to request an agent both times. Once I got to an agent, everything was fine. The hotel has the MOST amazing hair dryer - I loved it so much I ended up buying one to bring home with me. Also, the hotel is in a residential neighborhood so they are really strict about making sure your blinds / windows are closed and not letting out any light after it gets dark. We forgot to do that and was out all day - got an email to remind us to close our blinds. It's a bit annoying so be prepared for that.

The room was very clean and spacious. The location was great, just a few minutes’ walk to the subway station. Check-in was a bit slow, as I had to wait quite a while for an agent to respond. Unfortunately, the hallways were noisy late at night and early in the morning, and we could hear footsteps from the people staying above us.

Room was very spacious and clean. Washer and dryer in room was great, but a bit confusing to translate. Automated check in was easy. Only thing that was disappointed in was the tatami mat room wasn’t actually bamboo mats, it was vinyl covering. Not a big deal, but I was excited to have a tatami room.
