Property is located in a central area, filled with shops and food, really easy to get around with public transport close by. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful, rooms have excellent quality amenities, just a little bit small which is understandable. Really enjoyed the stay there and would highly recommend!

This place was located in a great spot. While some items were older, the bathroom was up to date. It was the perfect blend of old and new. Beds were comfortable and loved the window shades.

Great hotel in very convenient area of Kyoto, however the beds and 1 pillow provided are very hard, so not very comfortable sleep. A pillowtop on the beds and second softer pillow would be nice. The room and bathroom itself are nice though.
