Great hotel and good location just off the beaten path, but if you are walkers, then this place is for you. :15-:20 minutes to anywhere. Lawsons convenience store right next store with wonderful snacks and food. People who run hotel are very kind. Wish there was a breakfast option available to those that didn't sign up. Also, we didn't know that our kids had to sleep on futon mattresses on the floor. They had horrible sleep. Wish it was the room with the photo. Also, the BEST shower and water pressure I have EVER had!

A fabulous hotel. Really helpful staff, comfy beds. Evening perk, free alcohol and snacks in the lounge! Only downside? Not. Enough drawer space but that might be standard in Japanese hotel. Would definitely return and recommend

Modern boutique hotel makes a perfect base

Modern and boutique feeling hotel- lovely, great corner room, incredibly comfortable bedding. Convenient location next to subway line but not directly in the Kyoto center bustle. Hotel directly abuts picturesque stream.

I stayed here with my wife and toddler in late April. The hotel was wonderful and the staff so friendly. They even put on some free drinks for us in the evenings which was amazing. The hotel is in a good location, modern, clean, and is a decent size. We really enjoyed it.

Highly recommend! Perfect stay

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Kyoto for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The service here was fantastic - we arrived a few hours before check in and dropped our bags off and when we returned to check in the bags had been taken to our room. Check in was really smooth and speedy too! The room itself was spotless and had everything you needed for an enjoyable stay - including a very comfortable bed! The shower has to be the best one I’ve ever used in a hotel - it felt like you were in a spa and the toiletries were really high quality too! The lobby area was really modern and the hotel offered free drinks and snacks for a couple of hours every night which was the perfect chance to relax after a day of exploring! The location was really good too! I would highly recommend a stay here - I would definitely return when visiting Kyoto again 10/10
