Great place that’s very efficient!
This hotel is in a great location, kept up impeccably well, and at a reasonable price (for Kyoto!). Rooms here are small (you’ll have to live out of your luggage) but the beds and bathrooms are perfect. My only issues were our basement room (we agreed to it to shave the cost, but if I went again I would have upgraded to a view) and the tv is not foreign-friendly. They have an Apple TV you can hook up your account to, but I was not able to get mine past some regional permissions so I depended on a previous guests account!

Si deseas estar en el corazón de Kyoto y no tener la necesidad de caminar la ciudad, es una buena opción. Por el precio, yo recomiendo hospedarte fuera de la zona turística… Kyoto es bonito para caminarlo, no es necesario estar en el centro para apreciarlo.

Very clean and comfortable room. Helpful staff. Nice and quiet area and hotel. Easy for getting out to other areas of the city. The sento was wonderful. We did not use the bar or restaurant. We expected the Gion area to be livlier than it was, but Pontocho is just a short walk.

The property as a whole was nice and had a great vibe. The rooms are very small, with no closet space or dressers, so we had to live out of our suitcases. The bathroom smelled of pee/mildew.

My partner and I loved staying here. The staff are wonderful and accommodating. The breakfasts were lovely and it was incredibly convenient for us to get around. The room was cozy and comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Not to mention, the overall atmosphere of the hotel was inviting and warm. Would love to stay here again next time we’re in Kyoto!

Great location, medium service
I’ll start with the positives. This hotel was on a great location, was clean, and had a fantastic onsen! However we were given the smallest room ever. There was no spot to put your suitcase down let alone sit anywhere besides the bed. We had to upgrade (even though we asked to upgrade from the beginning). Additionally the staff spoke very little English. And hallway smelt like smoke even thought the hotel was non smoking. Great location, great bath but would spend my money elsewhere.

Overpriced
The location was great and there are two coin washers and dryers that we used and appreciated after two weeks of travel. But other than those two considerations, we were disappointed.The room was tiny, but that is no surprise. The surprise was the complete lack of any effort to make the tiny space feel bigger. No hooks. No retractable drying line. No shelves on the wall.The tv did not pivot so you couldn’t lie on the bed to watch it -you had to sit on the tiny uncomfortable seat directly across from it. To top it off, the free breakfast was unimpressive. (And we have had a lot of breakfast buffets in Japan. ) Missed opportunities to make a 4 day stay more comfortable. The staff was pleasant and helpful, but we felt that we overpaid for this stay.
