Lovely hotel. The location was in a quiet part of Kyoto and not very far from the main sights. There were many restaurants nearby and I even bought a beautiful kimono from a nearby shop. The beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. There was even a small balcony, which was a nice surprise. The best part of the hotel was the bathroom! The bathtub had a TV and a heater and cooling fan installed. It felt like a spa every time I took a bath. Fantastic value! It's worth staying here again

My only complaint would be the sofa bed. It was very hard and uncomfortable. My sister was able to sleep in it for 5 days, but she would not recommend it. If I stayed here again, I would book a second room or a room with 3 proper beds, especially if you are here for long period of time. The location was fine and next to a gorgeous canal walk. However I would maybe choose a place closer to the train stations as I found having a 10 minute walk back to the hotel from a station after a long day of sightseeing quite tiring. Great value and I would stay here again nonetheless

It’s conveniently located really close to the train station and bus stops, which made it super easy for us to explore the area. Plus, there’s a combini and a supermarket just a short walk away, so we had everything we needed right at our fingertips. So far, I have to say that Kyoto has become my favorite city out of the three I’ve visited in Japan. I can't wait to come back!

One night, around 2:30 am, I was woken up by a group of people walking past the street and talking quite loudly. It was a bit disruptive, especially since I was hoping for a peaceful night. They didn't seem to be Japanese, which added to the surprise. Despite this little hiccup, I enjoyed my overall stay!

Great location with a nice kitchenette to use. You don’t always see the staff there, but it is that kind of hotel. It’s more let you do your own thing. They don’t bring you clean towels and stuff daily because you can do it yourself in the rooms washer. It is also very close to a small subway station and little shops. It was very convenient to go to some of the tourist sites in Kyoto either by walking, bus, or subway.

The people above us were very loud. It sounded like they were stomping the entire time. Not sure if that is an issue with the hotel or those guests.

We stayed in a room with two beds that had a sofa and table, as well as a small kitchen area and a private bathroom. The window doors opened and allowed to step outside onto a tiny balcony. Slippers and toothbrushes were provided, as well as shampoo, conditioner and body soap, sustainably in refillable containers. The beds were comfortable. Checking in and out was easy. Staff was friendly. The place was clean. Good location in a quiet alley crossing a street that was magically decorated with laterns. Close to a cute tree lined canal and historic Gion district. There was a variety of food options in the neighborhood.

Quiet area, close to metro, and close to 24 hour grocery store.

Liked everything.

I really enjoyed my stay here. This place was walkable to a lot of restaurants, convenient stores, and a little night life city which I really enjoyed. The area around the hotel was so nice and peaceful, with a little river just a few minutes away was so nice. The hotel itself was also very comfortable and very clean. There was enough space for the 3 of us and I loved how the hotel provided a washer to wash our clothes. I also really appreciate that the hotel was able to hold onto our luggage’s before and after checking in/out. I wished I stayed here just a few more days to enjoy my stay, whenever I come back to Kyoto I will definitely come back to stay here.

Nothing!

Amazing location. Lots of food and shops nearby and a beautiful area to explore. The room was smaller than expected. We were 3A and 2C and it was just a bit too small, but otherwise would have fitted well with one less adult.

While it has a washing machine, there was nowhere to dry clothes, so we ended up going to a coin laundry to dry. Also, the hotel staff mucked up our departure transfer and made it a really stressful experience, so I probably wouldn't rely on staff for bookings.

Love the size of the rooms, and having a washing machine and kitchen in room

The location is a bit far from kyoto station if you have planned a lot of day trips from kyoto

The room is warm in winter (start of December)! Very comfortable room, there is small kitchen if you need. The staff is friendly. P.S. In Japan lots of properties are made of wood and insulation matters a lot. In 3 out of 7 properties I stayed during my trip in December, it was very cold, and got me very frustrated - there was literally no way to predict, whether the next place is going to be a nice home or ice cave. The reviews on booking.com are typically done in the warm season and we're not helpful.

I wish the automatic lights in the entrance had an option of manual switch off. The person on the sofa, facing the entrance could wake up every time smb went to the bathroom in the night.

This place was in the perfect location! Many major areas were within walking distance, provided you don’t mind a 10-minute stroll. Even closer, there were plenty of cafes, restaurants, and convenience stores just down the road. The hotel is situated right next to a charming stream, adding to its picturesque and tranquil vibe. The hotel itself had a lovely Japanese feel and was impeccably clean. We slept soundly, as there was hardly any noise to disturb us. A highlight of our trip was stumbling upon one of the best second-hand markets on a Tuesday, right next to the art museum—a must-visit if you’re into thrifting! It’s also conveniently close to a bus stop and subway station, making it easy to reach all the major areas. Highly recommended for anyone looking for charm, convenience, and comfort!
