Great location to stay for Kyoto. Multiple options for food close by. Walkable to area attractions and minutes away from the Sanjo Station to take public transit to attractions further away. Staff is friendly and the rooms are comfortable.

The price was autumn color leaves season price so it was higher price but the season is delayed this year. I missed autumn color leaves. I felt the price was too expensive because of it. It should be excellent as regular price.

Love the early 20th century style and low key vibe of this hotel! Everything we wanted to see was close by. Popular shopping, eating and drinking areas were within a 5-10 minute walk, but the noise did not follow us back to the hotel. Proximity to the canal was a wonderful amenity.

I was very impressed with not only the hotel staff who were extremely helpful but the hotel itself. It was very clean & my room was pretty spacious for Japanese hotels and very comfortable. Pretty large bathroom & a great shower. Most importantly it was extremely convenient to all the great shopping, Nishi Market, great restaurants & the Gion area. I highly recommend this hotel.

Had a great stay at this hotel. It’s stylish and clean and in a great area. Upper patio with a great view was a nice touch. Vending machines on the second floor but I didn’t check it out as there is a 24 hour Lawson around the corner. Any toiletries we forgot and then some were available in the lobby for free. Staff were pleasant and could speak English. Thanks for a great stay.
