Lovely Stay!
I loved our stay in Kyoto. This hotel is close to two bus stops and a subway stop. The restaurant downstairs is also lovely. The laundry on-site is also a huge win. The only thing that we didn’t enjoy was the lack of wifi. The service was spotty at best.

Nice modern rooms combined with a traditional Japanese style. The bathroom was a good size with a separate area for sink and toilet and a wet room shower/bath. The location was good, just around the corner from Marutamachi underground station, linking to main Kyoto station via the Karasuma line. The hotel is also only a short walk to the Kyoto imperial palace park. Breakfast was nice, I had the western option which was a section of bread rolls, eggs, tea, smoothie and soup. The hotel also has a very pleasant lounge area for guests to sit and relax. Staff were very attentive and polite and rooms were kept very clean and well looked after. I would definitely stay again.

Amazing establishment! Very trendy, architectural and beautifully decorated. A great mood overall. We loved the guest lounge, the café and the tatami mats in the room. Everything felt brand new and premium, despite the affordable price. 10/10 would recommend.

This hotel is beautiful. The staff were kind, helpful, and so welcoming. The hotel itself is located in a great neighbourhood, we loved exploring. It about a 20 min walk to the shopping arcade, pontocho alley, and the market. The bus stop is about 2 min walk away and the same goes for the subway station. Overall a great hotel.

Beautiful hotel and close to the imperial palace. The cafe, roof terrace and hotel lounge were stand outs. Slightly unusual layout with bathroom but worked out well with the family.

tres bel hotel , malheureusement le service restaurant n est pas souple, il y a deux possibilites de petit dejeuner (facture une vingtaine de dollars) et vous n avez pas le droit a un deuxieme cafe par example vous devez payer le petit dejeuner est purement japonnais j ai obtenu d echanger contre un croissant donc ca fait un peu cher le petit dejeuner (1 croissant et un cafe) meme pas le jus de fruit qui va avec les autres petits dejeuners, c est un peu leger quand meme sinon l hotel est agreable mais vraiment ils doivent ameliorer ce service restauration
