This hotel is a gem. Situated in the heart of the Higashiyama area, it is perfectly placed to explore the cobbled streets of old Kyoto. The room has a spectacular, priceless view of Hokan-ji temple, and the room’s amenities are impressive, being both stylishly constructed and thoughtfully implemented. It is a spacious accommodation (a somewhat rarity in Japanese hotels!) and has character to boot. The excellent coffee truck outside the property is a really welcome bonus (at the time of writing, guests get 15% off of their drinks if they present their hotel key). Finally, I can’t speak highly enough of the staff. They were so efficient, polite, friendly and charming. This is a highly recommended stay. We’d love to return!

Modern Amenities in Ancient Kyoto

Great location, super friendly and helpful staff. Room is minamilist/modern but was provided more than what we needed for a comfortable stay. Very comfy beds! Can't wait to be back, and when we do will stay here again.

Great hotel, rooms and property very aesthetically pleasing…industrial chic.

Loved the hotel concept, excellent location, but buyer beware as you are in the heart of congestion and tourism trap central. It’s a busy area. Despite that, hotel is quiet. Amazing coffee shop just on the doorstep of the hotel. Nice to be so close to the sights and enjoy this special neighborhood. Staff were very attentive and friendly. I would stay here again for the experience.

Nice decor, helpful staff and great location. They should include actual towels instead of bathrobes. Also doors being metal is a problem because you can hear opening/closing from rooms.

This hotel is amazing and the staff working there is awesome and always helpful. It's located right besides the famous 5-storey pagoda. All the attractions in this area are walkable distance. The staff is always there to help with any kind of questions and provide suggestions for anything. The lady (Shun) was always there for us, helped with our luggage and allowed us to do a early check in as well. She is the best. :)

Hidden gem.

In the heart of it all.. what a great location. All the hotels in the surrounding area are extremely over priced with less of a view. This hotel is amazing with affordable prices. They exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again. Only thing is that the hotel should have one more than one employee at the hotel at a time. We had 6 big luggage's and the unfortunate sweet girl had to carry all of them to the third floor (we had no idea it was just her or we would have helped).. besides understaffed, the hotel is a must. The employees that assisted us during our stay were sweet and helpful.. i HIGHLY recommend this hotel.

Best hotel in Kyoto! We stayed 6 nights here. This hotel is very clean, in a handy location and offers very convenient coin operated laundry facilities. The rooms are large and spacious with an industrial style. There was no TV however we don’t use one when on holiday so this didn’t bother us at all. This was my favourite hotel during our Japan travels. Only negative thing to say is housekeeping didn’t replenish tea/coffee or clean our cups. This hotel is on a hill and can be difficult for vehicles to reach and is very slippery when wet. The roof top was a great spot to chill with a beer watching the sunset!
