Safe and quiet location - BEAUTIFUL room, simply elegant. The oxygen bubbles in the room bath was a lovely touch. Coffee machine in the lobby is so nice - amenities are wonderful too.
Great small hotel in the historic area of Gion. My room had a balcony and it was very spacious. The bathroom was great as well with a bathtub. Service was very good too.
Met and exceeded expectations from the room to the staff to the location. I spent hours researching hotels in Kyoto trying to settle in on one and I'm so glad this was the location.

Wonderful, friendly & helpful staff. Lovely rooms. Great location.
Very helpful staff. Great location with walking distance to most Gion attractions (Pontocho Alley, Hanamikoji street, Kiyomizu Dera temple). Nice modern and comfortable rooms. We had the sauna room which worked great. We highly recommend this hotel.
The staff were loving and respectful to my family and others. They were accommodating. The front desk amenities were beyond expectation.

This hotel was really nice. The room we got was pretty big considering Japan sized hotel rooms are usually small. It also had a tub and a sauna in the room. The location was pretty walkable to most sites. Staff were average compared to other hotels we stayed at during our trip, not as welcoming or jolly. There is also free coffee and tea in the lobby all day. Highly recommended staying here.
The hotel is new and cleaned. Staff are well trained. They are always available to answer questions. Love the location of this hotel, it's walking distance to so many sights.

Location is perfect! Rooms were very clean, modern and roomy for Japan! Excellent amenities and front desk staff were amazing! Gave a recommendation for a fantastic ten don spot for lunch that was delicious. Thank you :)
Wonderful hotel in the middle of Gion. Friendly staff. Spacious rooms. Comfortable beds. Quiet. I wouldn’t recommend breakfast. Chaotic and not enough food, restaurant staff doesn’t speak English so ordering simple eggs can turn into an odyssey.But the coffee is fantastic. Other than bfast I definitely recommend this place.
