Our favourite hotel of our trip to Japan. It felt very luxurious and they included a bottle of bubbly for us in the room as it was a special occassion. The bathroom was very clean and modern with a built in bluetooth speaker. Bed was comfy. And just a 15 minute straight walk up to the main part of town, so we didn't get breakfast included as plenty of options nearby.

It was truly the BEST and most AMAZING experience—such a cozy and friendly hotel, with wonderful staff (who helped me a lot by sending my pendant to Tokyo after I accidentally left it at checkout). Higashiyama Metro Station is just 50 meters from the entrance, which is very convenient. The nearby river creates a perfect atmosphere, especially during breakfast in the morning and "happy hours" in the evening (with high-quality drinks - trust me!). The rooms are very spacious, with plenty of windows, and since the hotel itself isn't very large, it's wonderfully peaceful and quiet.

I could not write anything what I did not like, really, it was amazing stay and if we will come back to Kyoto, 100% we will stay here again!

Amazing!!!! Everything. Best hotel we’ve stayed in for the price. Shower and tub was amazing. Rooms were pretty spacious and comfortable and AC worked well. Staff was accommodating. Happy hour every night was unreal!! Such a great stay!!!

This is a wonderful hotel on the river bank with a wonderful view, where you want to return after an intensive day. In the lobby, some kind of Japanese art is always presented, there is also a wonderful selection of books to read. The hotel is located near many famous temples, 5 minutes by metro to the center. Comfortable room, especially good bathroom and bed with pillows. Excellent service and kind responsive staff. Good fresh breakfast always, many restaurants in the area. You want to come back to such a hotel again and again, as to your home. I thank each employee of the hotel for the wonderful atmosphere and kind hearts!

Everything is great

I liked the clean and elegant look and feel of the hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly. They give fresh toiletries daily, plus changed towels. The rooms are neat, minimalistic and comfortable. The location is also fab! Right close to train station and amenities. My absolute favorite was the sundowners in the hotel lounge daily - all sorts of drinks and snacks. The vibe was just very relaxing.

The breakfast was yummy, but quite repetitive. I enjoyed the soups, but got over the eggs, sausages and bread/croissants after a weeklong stay. Otherwise, very good service and hotel.

Recommended for Kyoto! good location next to subway station that you can use to transfer to other lines (there are a few in Kyoto). quiet location with quick walk to historic areas. 10-15 minute walk to dozens of restaurants and there are a few very close by. Most comfortable room + bathroom (except the two twins being pushed together) - big for Japan standards. Nice building/lobby and comfortable to return to each day. Loved the happy hour with free drinks/snacks. Breakfast good (not authentic Japanese but that was okay with me) - a little boring after 4 nights with the same thing every day but was pretty much what i'd eat at home. Friendly staff.

All was good.

Very nice boutique-hôtel, well located bear Gion and very close to the subway. The lobby is welcoming with a small exhibition and a charming book library. We also appreciated the happy hour. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The ratio quality-price is definitey very good!

Nothing we didn’t like, but it’s worth mentionkjg that reading the reviews proie to booking, sine last guests were disppoikhed because they were under the impression this would be a 5*. I don’t know what they were thinking this. I would have been disappointed if I was expectant a 5*, but from the website, photos and price, it was clear to me that this was a nice boutique hotel and it met all my expectations (even exceeded them).

- really good location next to subway and easy walking distance from Gion. - lots of nice restaurants and bars nearby - room was very quiet even though hotel is next to the main road. Plus there was a very picturesque river right next to hotel where you can see herons and egrets - great staff - upgraded us to a better room because toilet in ours was broken - room was very beautifully decorated and had everything we needed - free drinks for guests every evening with local sake and appetizer snacks

- limited options for breakfast (but most likely because they offer products from local producers like yogurt and salad) - water in shower was rather tepid

The room was quite big, clean, with comfy beds, the hotel staff was amazing, so friendly and helpful! We asked if we can leave the suitcases before the check in and they said it's okay, also leaving them at the hotel after the check out as our train was in the afternoon which was a relief! The breakfast was nice although it maybe lacked in variety but overall good. The location of the hotel is very nice, maybe a bit far from the "center" if you prefer to walk, but there is a metro station right outside as well as a bus station. They also offered free drinks in the evenings which was nice :)

Our stay at Tassel Hotel was absolutely amazing, we were absolutely delighted with everything at this beautiful boutique hotel from the extremely helpful and welcoming staff to the immaculate accommodation and facilities. The location was fantastic close to subway, shops and attractions and just loved the beautiful flowing stream that was right next to hotel. The breakfast was amazing and we were so very impressed with the free drinks and nibbles that was offered from 6pm to 10pm.
