The location was absolutely perfect for being in the centre of the action. The staff were very kind and accommodating. The free coffee and water was a huge bonus. The Onsen is gorgeous as well! There is also a rooftop bar where they offer one free drink per night and a footbath. What a luxurious and amazing stay!

The hotel is so pretty, the service so kind. I would love to stay there again for longer time. Also after check out and moving to another city I found out I miss one ring (it fall under bed, my mistake) I contact the hotel and they were able to found it and shipped to my new hotel in a Tokio. I’m surprised and so thankful

This is our second stay as we stayed in the same room as we did last summer, coincidence but interesting how they assign rooms. Location is great to walk to everywhere, and take subways, taxis are just outside by the entrance all the time. Room is tiny but has everything. Tickets for one free drink daily per person but it is always busy on the rooftop. We used once, breakfast is authentic Japanese style.

This was one of our first hotels in our visit to Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo. It was incredible and felt like a luxury boutique hotel from the moment we arrived. The location is superb and the amenities are incredible. We were truly spoiled, and felt let down by all of the other properties we stayed at after this one. Highly recommend!

Nice hotel in the center of the popular area. Room is small but the design make it feel comfort. Minutes to walk into the main shopping spot and famous river side. Public baths are good and 1 of the baths have a spectacular view over the Kawaramachi. But the bad thing is no onsite parking and the partner-parking slot need 5 minute walk.

There are a lot of shops nearby, all within walking distance. Nishiki market is about 5 minute walk from hotel. Several train stations near hotel. The onsen was fabulous, especially after hours of walking, taking in sights. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Kyoto. It will definitely be where I stay when I return.
