It was beautiful! Was great coming home from a long day out to a clean and comfortable oasis. Gym facility has everything you need and their staff are very friendly. Laundromat had a number of machines and staff were prompt to empty any unattended machines if notified. The rooms were spacious and so luxurious

The room was quite small, but that’s expected in Japan and it had everything you might need. Just when you think something’s missing, you open a drawer and there it is! The location was great and the hotel had a very hip, modern vibe. The breakfast could be improved though. A larger buffet would help, as the pastries disappeared fast!

Great location, there are a lot of restaurants near by. The bus station is also very close. The room is big and comfortable. Everything is sparkling clean. They also have a gym - but I didn't got the chance to try 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)

It is a family run b&b with taking good care by the hosts who have put years of energy and passion into making this place so cozy, beautiful and feel at home. 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.
