The hotel is colorful and attractive. The lobby looks onto a Japanese garden with comfortable chairs where we enjoyed reading time. The onsen/public bath is great and was not too crowded at the time I went, 6pm. The beds were very comfortable and the shower had nice pressure.

The location was quiet but convenient. Ideal for a decent walk to Karasuma and beyond using various rail ways.. The room was clearly recently regraded and tasteful without being over the top nor boring. Breakfast was consistent and provided a good cross section of Japanese and Western bits and pieces. A diner should be able to find sufficient to enjoy breakfast. The Coffee was good even though I am a Tea preference person.

Room size was very decent for 3 pax. TV has chrome cast function (although it is quite laggy), I can watch shows from YouTube! My dad especially enjoyed the public bath. There are many food options / convenience store / supermarkets around the area, great for breakfast and supper runs. Although it is a ~10mins walk to any metro station, it is right beside 2 bus stops. Still walkable from stations that serve key train lines e.g. to Arashiyama & from Osaka

Our room was very spacious and had the massive king bed to share for us (2 adults and 2 kids under 2). Room was clean and modern and perfect temp always. We really enjoyed the public bath experience.. with a lot of Japanese people staying at the hotel it felt very authentic. Breakfast was very traditional which was great trying all the things but the western additions were not well done like the eggs or bacon etc. Would have been really happy if I could have had some good eggs for me and my daughter. Staff were very lovely.

The hotel was very nice and close to main road with all the stores. This hotel had a parking garage and it was only ¥2000 to park there.

The location is convenient! Very close to bus stops and relatively close to the train station! I'm glad they had parking because that's hard to find if you drive to Kyoto. There were a lot of good amenities and the breakfast was very delicious! The staff is also very kind and patient with tourists. I overheard a front desk clerk going (completely) out of his way to call in a taxi for an English speaking guest. The onsen is also really nice. Lastly, guests should be aware that if you don't put the "do not disturb" sign on your door, housekeeping will come in and kindly clean your room. If you DO put it up, you'll have to get your own new towels yourself from the front desk :-)

Great hotel, especially for a combination of rest and sightseeing as I wanted this time. Lovely, helpful staff and the fact I extended the stay for two extra nights says it all. It is nice to sit in if you want to rest at points in the day. The staff group is warm, friendly, and cosmopolitan, and they help make finding your way around the beautiful city of Kyoto a breeze. My fourth visit to the hotel so I’d definitely recommend.

The attention to detail, the helpful staff with their Apple translators, Japanese breakfast was the best we have had in Japan. The beds were comfortable. The rooms clean. Did not like the step down into the bathroom water pressure was really great. The location and surrounding resturants were well located and mapped for convenience..

Loved that this property provided an onsen as well as a buffet style breakfast (for an additional fee). The staff were excellent and so helpful! They gave us all the information we needed to make the most of our stay. Our room was a bit smaller but still very clean and comfortable. It was so nice to be able to use the tv program to know the onsen capacity before going down to use it. The location was also great, allowing us to easily navigate to the transit system. The restaurant options around the establishment were also really delicious. Overall, it was a lovely hotel experience!
