The Hotel is very clean and in a super great location, you can just walk to Gion and to all the main places in Kyoto. You also have a bus stop just downstairs to get to the further temples. The breakfast is super basic but you also have a convenient shop just downstairs. The staff is very nice and the room was quite spacious and very well organized with the bathroom being splittet with WC Room and Shower Room.

The hotel, the staff and the location were all 10/10 We booked it at a great price point and were super happy with the choice. The hotel is located in a wonderful area with a lot of shops, not so far away from the most crowded locations. The room was very spacious, comfortable and came with a washing machine. It was cleaned daily and we really enjoyed. We didn't try the breakkie, so I cannot comment on that. Would repeat stay and recommend it.

The room was ample in size, especially for Japan. Hotel was in a good location. Not city centre, but 2 stops away in a quiet neighbourhood with a lot of history. Walking distance to everything you need, supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants. Staff were helpful an always happy to accommodate any requests. Beds were comfy and a good size, but only as single beds. No double bed, however, futons are available to use in the tatami room.

Next door to Imperial Palace Gardens - unique butterflies & birds, trees 300+ yrs old - great for early/late walks open 24hours. On the main subway with only a few stops downtown. 15 mins walk from amazing Raku Museum, also Textile Museum and Niljo Castle (slightly further - Home of the Shogun)

Breakfast comes with home-made everything which is delicate, delicious and satisfying. Great location with quiet and chill neighbourhood which is only 5mins walk from the station and close to city centre. So grateful we have chosen this place to stay.
