We stayed in both the western style and Japanese style rooms and they were both lovely - elegant, spacious, clean. Location is great and many sites are walkable. It is just around the corner from a bus stop that takes you direction to Kyoto station and there is also conveniently a 7/11 very nearby.

Fantastic modern boutique hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. They often recommended places to eat and things to do. The only downside is that breakfast is very basic. The location is fantastic and walking distance from most attractions in Gion. I would definitely recommend this place.

Walking to Gion area and to Kyomizu-dera with amazing view to Kyoto and walk along small beautiful traditional shops. The room size is great for the three of us. Sauna and oxygen bath in the room are great addition. Also, free laundry is a big plus. Hotel is modern with the touch of Japanese ryokan style. The food in the restaurant is vegan. We really enjoy our stay.

Very impressed by the accommodations provided. Only visible minor issue was not being able to use the black-out shades with the button interface provided in the room, but that could just be user error and is definitely not enough to detract from a 5/5 experience

BEAUTIFUL location, super convenient and walkable for sightseeing in Kyoto. We booked a room with a private sauna which was incredible after a long day of walking all over Kyoto. The oxygen bubble bath in our room only worked once (tried to use it 3 times), but that was the only hiccup with the accommodations. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the hotel itself (especially the outside at night) is very pretty. Coffee/water and amenities in the lobby are a nice touch. 10/10 recommend!!

Was one of our favorite hotels while staying in Japan. Staff was great. Breakfast was high quality for the price. Room was clean, modern and spacious. The large tub and sauna made it a peaceful sanctuary to return to after running around Kyoto. Wished we’d stayed longer.

The property is in great location in Gion which is walkable to a lot of tourist attractions. It’s not too far (15-20 min walk) from the Nishiki market. There is a bus stop around the corner from the hotel and the closest train station is about a 12 minute walk. The hotel itself was clean and having a sauna in the room was very nice. There is free laundry machines by the lobby, however plan accordingly because the dryer takes 3-4 hours to dry a load. Overall, we had a great stay and I would stay here again.

We stayed here for 6 nights. Location is perfect for exploring the Gion area, but in hindsight wish I'd stayed somewhere a bit more accessible to other sites like Nishiki Market. Gion seemed to close down around 6:00 most days and then we had problems finding dinner. We ended up ordering uber eats 2 nights. Loved the quaintness and staff was very friendly and helpful. Only complaint about the room is that our bed wasn't anchored to the headboard or wall, so our mattress kept slipping out from under us and made it hard to sit up and watch TV. This would be a really quick fix! Uber worked perfectly in Kyoto from rides to food.
