Perfect location that is a short walk near train and subway stations. Also perfectly located between downtown Kyoto’s shopping and restaurants, and the historic sightseeing area. Room was large, clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great location and walkable distance to several tourist areas, such as the Yasaka Pagoda, and easy commute to other notable areas, such as Nishiki market via city bus. Great food stores, cafes, and convenience stores nearby. The staff was very helpful and eager to interact with us, great customer service.

The best hotel I’ve stayed at here in Japan so far. Really pleasant and nice workers. The ambiance and decor is so calming in a traditional modern Japanese style. Didn’t have breakfast included as an option, however the hotel does sell açaí bowls with bread. They have free coffee, water, and tea for all guests. Desk attendant helped us send our luggage to another hotel.

Charming yet practical in the central location.

I love the tidiness and cleanesss. The reception is quick and kind enough. The location is close enough to the city center, yet less crazy. Walking to Heian Shrine was perfect!!! I recommend this location to all.

Die Unterkunft hat sehr große Zimmer für japanische Verhältnisse, die unfassbar schön eingerichtet und ausgestattet sind. Sie liegt sehr zentral in Kyoto, sodass man viele Restaurants und Stores fußläufig erreichen kann. Auch eine Bus und Ubahn Verbindung ist in unmittelbarer Nähe, was auch fernere Ziele mühelos erreichbar macht. Ebenfalls bietet das Hotel eine kostenlose Bar mit Getränken und Kaffee an. Trotz all dem ist es sehr ruhig in den Zimmern. Alles in allem das beste Hotel unserer Japantour.
