10/10 beautiful boutique hotel. Stayed for 2d1n with my partner. The room was amazing, great overall mix of modern/traditional design. We stayed in the red themed room which was randomly assigned I believe based on availability. The room amenities were fabulous, with even his/her loungewear/pj's and bathrobes for our use that were actually really comfortable. The bed was amazing, the pillows were flat but I guess that's just the standard preference in Japan. The in room jacuzzi/hot tub was lovely but the Jacuzzi function didn't work. Unfortunately towards night time (9pm) the wifi was extremely weak in room and we had to use our own portable wifi to even just go on social media on our mobiles. We tried to get assistance from the staff but unfortunately we had spoken communication (English) issues with most of them. However they were all super sincere in trying to help us to the best of their abilities which I'm so greatful for. Location wise was great, close 5-10min walk to 7-11, metro and bus stations. Overall will definitely recommend this for a romantic short trip.

Love the design of our suite. This city is walkable and you need to walk so be ready. The metro station is within 15 minute walk, the bus stop is about 10 minute walk. There is a terrace where you can take your own drink. The hotel is quiet and secluded, not much happening here. Loves the welcoming gift and the refills on the mini bar. Book the Japanese breakfast it’s a great experience.

We had a great time at the screen in Kyoto. The staff was very friendly and our check-in/check-out was seemless. They even packed us a to-go box on our final day when we had to leave early morning. Tip: all their suites have different designs. The staff was accomodating for us to try another suite, so we got to experience different designs. Much appreciated!

Great boutique hotel!
Fabulous quiet location which was close to public transportation. Taxis were also easily accessible. Staff was attentive. Breakfast were excellent and accommodated several food allergies. Each room is designed by a different decorator and was unique. Morning runs along the river were a great way to start the day!
