A great hotel in a great location.
A wonderful hotel on the less busy side of Kyoto station. Located in a quiet alley, it was an easy walk from the Shinkansen, Kyoto JR station and subway lines and a great base for exploring Kyoto and beyond. It was lovely to have a large room with kitchen and laundry facilities and a large bathroom with separate toilet. The cold drinks in the lobby after 3pm were very welcome after being out in the heat and humidity. We only had breakfast there once but it was very pleasant and the service was very friendly. Highly recommend staying here. My only small issue was there was a tiny gap in the between the edge of the bling and the window which meant some bright light shone in from the feature lighting on the stonework outside the windows, but i was mostly too tired for it to bother me.

Stayed in a deluxe Hollywood twin room for 4 nights and really enjoyed our time at this hotel. First off, the hotel is not even a 5 minute walk from Kyoto station, which was very convenient for exploring the city. Second, the hotel was off the main road on a small side street, which we loved as it made the area very quiet the whole day. Third, the staff and the room are amazing - the staff were very friendly and helped us with any questions we had. The room and twin beds were big! Also really enjoyed having a mini kitchen and washer/dryer in the room (note: it does take up to 5 hrs for the washer and dryer to complete, but there is multiple laundry mats around the hotel). When we are back in Kyoto, we will be staying here again.

It is out of the way, quiet and close to the train and bus station. Good food plentiful nearby. The room could have used a table and a couple of chairs, and there was a lack of dishes in the kitchen. It's a little quirky, but that's in it's favor after all the western cookie cutter hotels. A strong recommendation to stay here

This property is close to Kyoto Station, which made it very handy to get around and visit the sites in Kyoto. The in-room kitchen and washing machine was very helpful during my stay. Beautiful property and wonderful rooms. In a quiet alleyway which meant no loud road noises at night.

Location to begin with is a huge plus. Located minutes away from Kyoto station. We arrived early to drop off luggage in the storage but our room happened to be ready. The check in process was simple and the front desk attendant was extremely pleasant. He spoke excellent English and he provided helpful information and tips. The lobby is like a museum and the hotel is super clean. The toilet opens automatically with all the special accents making it comfortable and the shower/bath is to die for. The room was sexy with all lights being dim-able with a special view. The kitchen was helpful and the washer/dryer is super convenient. This hotel/staff get 10/10.
