Low key establishment. 6 rooms in this hotel so it feels cozy. Beautiful room and close to all my favorite things to do… cafes, historical sites, and shopping.
This is well located with nice rooms and good atmosphere. There is no elevator so if you have accessibility issues, it is not for you. In Gion but on a quiet street so you can get to restaurants and shops but still get a good night's sleep.
The room is big for 4 adults. Microwave and toaster. Full fridge shower was big and has laundry machine in room. The clothes will not dry completely. You need to hang them but there was many hang her. My only complaint was the AC. It was Soo loud! Sounded like there was a hurican in our room.
Absolutely the best location - easy to get to so much of the treasures of Kyoto. Enjoyed sleeping on a tatami mat and futon in a room set for three. Towel size was fine for me, but a little small for larger folks.
Check in was a bit confusing. There was no one on site even though we areived within the time frame. Room was comfortable and clean. However the stairs are incredibly steep and narrow. We were on the 3rd floor with lots of luggage. No elevator.
Self check in - we were provided with a Japanese character but when we got there each room was named with English letters. Could not get a hold of anyone who worked there for 2 hours. Hotel was clean and spacious. Stairs to get to the rooms steep and awkward with luggage. Not all amenities they list available - had to request a microwave be put in common area to use and safe did not work - staff unsure how they worked either. Area quiet and out of the way - 7 minute walk to subway station.

Inside of the room was big and nice (especially the bathroom), but be aware there is no elevator and very limited staff. This hotel does not offer luggage delivery but the family mart located two minutes away does offer it. Also, they weren’t super clear about the room cleaning policy (you have to message them to receive cleaning which is definitely not typical for a hotel to do). The area the hotel was located in was very convenient. Overall it was okay, but be mindful of the limitations.

You go to bed with the last one who is coming up the stairs with bags during tve night and you wake up with the first one who is moving in the hotel or by the traffic in front of the hotel.
The entry to the hotel was easy. I couldn’t find the lounge or paperwork to properly sign in. The resident next door came out yelling if she even saw a foreigner near by. She scared my children and was completely over-the-top. The room was very nice but we would’ve liked an interior lock. The room was very stylish and comfortable.

Property is beautiful and located in a nice area. However, the place wasn’t clean, carpet wasn’t vacuumed and the place is very dusty. There is no staff at anytime for us to ask questions or request anything that we need.

The hotel was spacious but you felt more like you were staying in a hostel not a hotel.
The front end person was around from 11-7, but if u had questions or needed info at check out you were on your own

Wrong code for the hotel front door was given. It happened at the beginning and also after a few nights stay. There was a big cockroach in the room after our first entry.

The room looks nice but there are dust everywhere. They don’t pick up trash and they don’t clean the room daily.
Worked out well. The only issue we had was a delay on getting us the self check-in information. We had no idea what to do when we got there. Then in the middle of our stay the code to the front door and our room was changed and we couldn’t get in.
The room was extremely large for Japanese hotel rooms.
There are stairs (we had to walk up 3 flights), but it does say they will carry your luggage. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and the main shopping street was about 10 minutes away. The only negative for us was that they say they will hold your luggage after checkout, but there really isn't a secure area to hold your luggage. The two areas they said we could leave our luggage, it was still accessible to other guests who had a passcode to the building. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
We stayed in the Wakamatsu room. The heating unit for this room is outside, but less than a foot from one of the windows. So while the unit in the room is quiet, the one outside the window is audible. If you are a light sleeper, you will hear it. I cannot speak for any other room. Other than that, and the fact that there is no elevator, this place is great.
