Beautiful hotel nestled in the Gion area. As soon as you enter they have a beautiful relaxed seating in the lobby area with a view of the garden. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are good size and beds are very comfortable and clean. Bathrooms and showers were great! Location is perfect - very walkable towards the Gion sights and shrines on one side, and across the river in the other direction are some amazing restaurants, bars and shopping that one can walk to. Would highly recommend.

This is my second time staying at this property and as with the first time it was a pleasure. The property is beautiful, clean, the staff cordial and helpful. The rooms are big, clean and the hotel happy hour is always a good fun. This property is in the heart of Gion and its easy to walk to places or take a cab.

Nice hotel for the price. Service was great, the place smells amazing. They have the air diffusers going in every corner of the public spaces and it’s awesome. The restaurant and lounge could use a little sprucing up in terms of options offered, set up and flexibility but other than that, it was a super clean and nice place to stay in Kyoto, close walk to all the great areas and right by Gion/Geisha District and amazing temples just minutes away.

This is simply a wonderful hotel. From the outside it seems rather like a conventional hotel, but once inside you know you are in a special place--real, traditional Japan, away from crowds, lights, concrete, glass and steel, but in view of surrounding garden spaces open spaces, impeccable interior design with sacred corners and views that let you turn inside and simply relax--even when it's 100 degrees outdoors. The room was beautiful, minimalist, perfectly appointed with a super comfortable bed. I had a view of the interior garden, which I loved. I can't say enough about this wonderful hotel and when I return to Kyoto, this is where I'm staying! Stay there and be happy....
