Hidden gem in Kyoto

Loved our stay here! Fantastic location. It is away from the very busy street but close enough to all the main attractions. The hotel was nice and clean. Beds were comfortable. The rooms are more spacious than your typical Japan hotel. Our flight was very delayed and we were worried that we wouldn’t be able to check in, based on the hotels strict no check in after midnight policy. We were very grateful that staff waited for us to check in.

Good hotel to rest

Great place to stay for NYE. Near temples and a short 15 mins walk to the main strip in Kyoto. There are a few love hotels around so maybe not a family area. Also a good 10-15 mins walk to the popular Gion Edo strip that leads to the most photographed temples

Probably one of our favourite hotel rooms from our Japan trip! We were very pleasantly surprised by the size. It was a good amount of space; much bigger than some of the rooms we’ve stayed in here. It was very clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly. Would have appreciated laundry facilities as well but small price to pay for a great stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a great, small hotel in an excellent location. Rooms are large (for Japanese standards), have good amenities, and are clean. The bed was quite hard and it hurt my back a bit, and this is coming from someone who likes firm mattresses. There are no other hotel facilities to speak of, but if you want a clean, comfortable and stylish room in the centre of Gion, I recommend this hotel.

Great little hotel in the old Kyoto. Large, clean and very comfortable rooms. In walking distance to list of restaurants, temples and a quick walk to the train. Staff are warm and helpful. No restaurant or bar onsite as advertised , looks like there may have been one next door at some stage. The hotel is near a few sex hotels that seem to start getting busy around 9 pm, but this didn’t affect our stay. Just thought I’d mention it, so others are aware. We would book this hotel again, if we return to Kyoto.

I stayed in this hotel for about two weeks, which is probably far longer than the typical business hotel guest. Despite this, the staff kept the room clean and well stocked with towels, and were very friendly. The location was perfect and had easy access to all 3 major convenience stores and was just minutes away from the historical parts of Gion.

The property was in the old charming part of the Gion area which I loved. But the room was musty & dusty. I had to continually use allergy meds and asthma inhaler. They also did not offer luggage shipping options. Which really helps out solo travelers with luggage.
