The room was very spacious. The bathroom is well organised and spacious too. There is a great sitting area on tatami. Soft pillows and blankets. Downstairs you can use washing and drying machines for a small fee and the quality was outstanding. You can’t find better location in Kyoto if you are a tourist. On top of that the staff kindly accepted our luggage from a delivery company few days before we arrived. And when we checked in our big backpack was already waiting for us in the room :)

For the price, good sized room, full Japanese style bath (sink, shower, toilet all separate rooms). I usually stay at places with unit baths (much less nice) but this place, at least when I stayed, was about the same price. Location is great! Right off Sanjo which is a major shopping street and leads straight into the heart of Kyoto. 2 blocks from Karasuma-oike station which has 2 lines to take me anywhere easily. The room was quiet (4th floor), the WIFI was fast and speedy (been to plenty of places where this isn't true). It's a small hotel. It think they only have 18 rooms. 4 per floor and 2 on the bottom. If you need a place to work, the lobby of the Ace Hotel with wifi and a coffee shop, is one block away and, a large Starbucks is across the street from that. Would totally stay again

I had an excellent stay at this hotel. I loved the atmosphere: the place was spotlessly clean and perfectly quiet, which allowed me to truly relax. The staff were extremely friendly and always available to meet my needs. Everything was accessible on site, making the stay very convenient, and the hotel is located in a calm neighborhood, which I really appreciated. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, as well as a metro station, which makes getting around the city very easy. In addition, many activities are within a 10-minute walk, perfect for exploring the area without any hassle. The room was truly amazing—spacious and comfortable, with a modern, well-equipped bathroom. I highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant and worry-free stay.

Great location! Metro station, great supermarket, convenient store, iconic cafe and shops are all around in five-minute walking distance. An extremely comfortable room with great moderately firm mattress and cozy tatami area, bathroom’s nice with a bathtub and strong hot water. Air purifier and air conditioner work well. Towels changing and garbage gathering daily, housekeeping every three days, washing machine/ ice machine, microwave and amenities supply are on the first floor. Nice modern Japanese atmosphere and friendly helpful staff, definitely recommend it.

None.

What a fabulous little hotel this is! A hidden gem in Kyoto! So hidden we walked past it twice before we realised it was there! Incredibly quiet and the room was huge by Japan standards. Walking distance to public transport, heaps of restaurants and bars nearby. Washing machine in a laundry off the foyer was great, as were the free amenities. Spotlessly clean, lovely staff. Room was large with a tatami area for relaxing. As with most hotels in Japan the beds and pillows are harder than we are used to but not a problem. Bathroom was fabulous. Be aware this hotel does not offer breakfast but there are convenience stores close by. Definitely recommend this hotel.

This is a small boutique hotel and was the best place we stayed at in Japan - highly recommend booking here! The Standard Twin Room was huge by Japan standards, the tatami area with table + beanbags was great and gave us plenty of space to open two large suitcases. Bathroom was very modern and had a great layout with the shower, sink/mirror and toilet each located in a separate room. Amazing location on a very quiet street within easy walking distance to everything - 1 min to convenience store, 5 mins to subway station, 7 mins to Nishiki Market & a big shopping arcade (Sanjo Meiten-gai), 15 mins to the river & Pontocho Alley, 20 mins to Gion (geisha district). Staff were friendly and helpful, they organised luggage transfer to our next hotel and let us keep our backpacks behind the front desk for the day after we'd checked out. I'll definitely stay here again if I come back to Kyoto!

The tatami area in our room was absolutely lovely – a peaceful and authentic space to relax. The bathroom was a traditional Japanese wet room, which we really enjoyed. The room had lovely design elements and was a great size. The location was incredibly convenient. The staff were also very helpful and even arranged to have our luggage sent ahead to our next hotel, which made things so much easier. A wonderful and stress-free stay with a perfect mix of comfort and culture!

It would have been nice to have coffee pods provided each time the room was cleaned, not just on the first day. You couldn't see out the window so it did feel a little enclosed at times & meant you couldn't see the weather outside until you went downstairs.

Spotlessly clean, very spacious, well-appointed room that was excellent value for money. The bathroom was fabulous, with a separate toilet, basin, and washing area. One of the best hotel bathrooms ever and I have experienced a lot! Excellent water pressure, lots of hot water and best of all, space. I loved it. The bed was comfortable, the room was incredibly quiet and I appreciated the kettle and fridge. The tatami seating area was a lovely addition though I didn't really have time to sit there. The hotel's location between two different train lines, near the Nishiki markets and with cafes, restaurants and shops in the lovely little streets surrounding it, made it a very convenient place to stay. My sister recommended it to me and I have already recommended to others. A lovely place to stay!

The location was fairly easy to navigate to, and the neighborhood was quiet and lovely. The place itself was clean and beautiful, and the receptionist was friendly and helpful. Many informational brochures and leaflets were also neatly arranged on the front desk counter, allowing guests to browse for any useful information themselves. Amenities (e.g. toothbrush / toothpaste, tea packets, etc.) though not provided in the room themselves, were readily available in the corridor for anybody to take what they need. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was lovely, and the seating area was a delightful place to sit and eat and just relax.

Though a hotel, the locking mechanism of the room depends on a manual key, which has both its ups and downs, depending on your personal preferences and needs. The single washer dryer provided makes it a bit of a hassle to make use of, especially when you find that it is already being occupied by another guest's laundry cycle.

The location is great. The bathroom and restroom are great too. The room is huge with tatami area and twin beds. As a person who had a back surgery before, I do need to sleep on a bed that is supportive and somewhat hard and firm yet soft and comfy on its cover. The beds in the hotel are a bit too soft for my taste. When I lied on the bed, I could feel the support of the bed. However, when I wanted to get up or move on the bed, I could feel the support was gone. It's just another point of view to the bed from my personal experience, and it's just my taste of the bed. In general, the beds are still expectational.

If there is a actual chair in the room, it would be nice.
