We stayed in the annex suite. Biggest room. Loved the traditional Japanese style room. We did have two bathrooms, which I wanted. Shared shower and sleeping area. Main issue was no drawers. Only two small closets. No place for underwear pants or socks. We had to keep everything in our suitcases. Hung a few shirts and skirts. If the hotel can read this please add drawers. You have room to add them.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was beautiful and well maintained. The whole hotel was very clean as well as the rooms. Breakfast buffet was amazing with choices for a Western or traditional Japanese breakfast. I would have given the hotel 5 stars except we wish they had more amenities like coffee maker in the room and more drawers and closet space for clothes.

Awesome, quiet spot to have a westernized version of a ryokan stay! It has all the amenities I would want at a hotel - open lounge, safe, in room fridge, etc. The staff were lovely when we came in and helped us with all our questions. We loved our room, peaceful and quiet. Very much a small home away from home. It’s worth it to get the soaking tub rooms, it was an excellent experience

It’s a new and modern hotel in a very convenient location, not far from Kyoto station. You can walk to tourist attractions like Nishiki market or Gion District. The room is quite spacious and clean. The traditional wood bath tub is very nice. It also has a good rest area for hotel guest with water, coffee, juice and even sake. We made good use of this amenity after we check out. Coffee is excellent.

The hotel was in a very good location, 15mins (ish) walk to Kyoto station & around 5mins to the local train station. The bus stop is also close to the hotel with 7/11 and other local restaurants and cafe in walkable distance. The staff were super lovely and there is a lounge with free drinks to chill in before you go to your room. Our room was nice and spacious and mixture of Western and Japanese theme so it’s relaxing to stay in as well.
