We had dinner a couple times at the hotel and it was pretty good. Ordering Kaprow both times. Enjoyed an evening with a live DJ. Music and ambience was superb.
Bed comfort was excellent. Room was cozy but equipped with everything we needed. Warm was quiet and clean.

Such a lovely place to stay!! The staff were kind and helpful, and the rooms were clean and beautiful. The neighborhood it’s in is pretty and peaceful, but within walkable distance to bustling places like Gion. Kyoto Station is also only a short subway ride away.

In a quiet part of Kyoto, a little further away from most restaurants but still walkable. Rooms are pretty spacious compared to other Japanese hotels. Room itself is clean and comfortable, I would recommend and stay here again.

Modern, clean Hotel! Comfy beds and really good air conditioning. The rooms are big and offer everything you need. The service is top. Would definitely recommend it to my friends. The hotel has a restaurant and offers a variety of activities. We didn’t use any of it, but the food smelled really nice. Convenience stores and restaurants are all around the place! Really nice hotel in Kyoto 10/10

Hotel is clean.
Restaurant is nice and the bar is excellent.
Suggestions for improvement...the shiwer doors are not placws right. Thw loor shoukd open outward. The handles shoukd be outside.
There needs to be a qheelchair ramp to the entrance od rhe hotel for those with mobikity issues.
