We came here in April 2019 with some friends and booked the larger room which could be converted into 2 separate rooms when required. The most comfortable sleep we had on our trip. It was also very spacious which was great for our friends who had lots of luggage and who are very tall people this was great for them to get around and move comfortably.
The owner/clerk was amazing and was very accommodating.
Our breakfasts were included with out package deal and oh my goodness the Japanese style breakfast was so lovely.
The location of this place was great. So easy to go out and sight see as it was just below a temple.
The hot spring bath was a lovely touch too. So nice to soak yourself after a whole day of sight seeing.
100% would reccomend our friends to come here
located in the old street area. very quiet and peaceful place at night. busy area full of tourist in day time.
the hotel itself is awesome. the design is good. both guestroom and public area are cozy. super friendly staff. clean and new.
This hostel is amazing! My partner and I stayed here for two nights and extended our stay because we loved it so much. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. It’s really clean too. The kitchen is pretty good. There’s only one stove top burner but you can make it work. They serve really good bread in the morning + bottomless espresso all day. The sleeping pods are much bigger than I expected. And they have a nice deep bathtub. They give you fresh towels everyday :-) I really like their rooftop patio as well. The hostel is also right around the corner from a 24/7 supermarket. Okay that’s all folks
Beautiful Japanese style hotel, not exactly a ryokan, but lovely nonetheless. It was restructured from a restaurant that was 100 years old so it's got a bit of history, but don't worry, everything is clean, elegant and picturesque. Staff is fantastic, friendly and one particular member speaks languages. The rooms are amazing and each one is a little different. The ones I stayed at had private outdoor garden/patio areas. A bit pricey but totally worth it of you're willing to part with a bit of coin.
Great access around Gion and Kiyomizu-dera temple area.
The staffs are kind and know a lot around town.
The room is clean and has a fridge, so you can bring your drink and keep it cold.
You will sleep in futon on tatami (in Japanese style), and feel its coziness.
Will come back again.
Very nice hotel in a great location. Hotel common areas look very stylish, best part is the public bath Room sizes are OK. Definitely on my list for future trips to Kyoto.
Amazing place to stay. Very spacious, good amenities, and great location! The staff are very helpful and the bar downstairs is cozy
Very cool unique rooms. Short walk to all tourist spots and many good restaurants, but far enough away so its quiet to sleep. Very highly recommended
Fantastic hotel. Classy design and decor, room was more than ample for what we needed and expected in Japan, and centrally located for where we wanted to be (central districts like Nishiki market were one way, Gion the other way, for example).
With a few more amenities offered, this would be a 4-star hotel.
Amazing hostel, definitely one of the best I ever stayed. Super clean, nice common kitchen and space, and cosy café. Definitely recommend this place!
There is a cute and very fat cat. 5/5 stars, best place in Kyoto
