It was a great spot. Very quiet. Easy walking access to lots temples. 15 minute walk to the market. Close to a bus stop and 7/11. Very comfortable bed. Very small bathroom but manageable. We had the breakfast once. It could be improved by the addition of fresh fruit. There’s a breakfast cafe around the corner that opens at 9.

Decent and comfortable but breakfast is really bad

Good location, nice showers, relatively comfortable room with more storage than other rooms. Could not open window properly, breakfast is terrible, and we had quite a bit of misunderstanding with the staff which meant our room wasn’t cleaned our whole four night stay. Customer service not particularly great. Coffee in the machine in the room was good. Bathroom was very noisy.

Wonderful location close to everything in Gion and about a 3 minute walk to buses to get around the rest of Kyoto. Lovely staff, room had everything you could need for a three night stay. Having complimentary pastries, juice and ice coffee to start the day was a fantastic bonus. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay. My room was large - for Japan, the bed was extremely comfortable and there was consistent hot water in the shower. The staff were very nice and accommodating. The complimentary breakfast was subpar but still good for a quick snack to start your day. The location was great, just minutes from busy areas, but in a very quiet location - across the street from a shrine/temple! Had a great time here and would return!

Great value hotel on a quiet street

This is a small hotel on a quiet street in a historic part of Kyoto. The rooms are nice and clean and the beds are western style. The staff are friendly and helpful, even booking us reservations at a restaurant. The breakfast is not fancy- mainly packaged pastries and juice. However, the hotel is a great value, a great location, and the staff go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. If I come to Kyoto again, I will stay here.

This little hotel is excellent. It has everything... - perfect location, so you can walk to the main streets easily and have a lot of food options around; - nice staff (although they don't speak much English, like anywhere in Japan, so you should use Google translate) - room interior is very nice, they even put rice windows from the inside, which helps with isolation plus it looks great. The only thing to improve here is that they could put a big mirror on one of the walls (so you can see your whole reflection, and it would visually enlarge the room) - amenities are great in general! they have coffee and pillow menu to choose from, at display on the reception - they have clever safe deposit box system at the reception, where you put your own codes - breakfast is small but very nice and they change it every morning. It is just pastries and coffee/tea, like you would get in a mini-market
