Very quiet and serene. The rooms are very clean and as a solo traveler I even had the chance to get a veranda and a nice view. Would love to come back.
Lovely hotel in central Kyoto. Beautiful Japanese modern decoration, both in the rooms and common areas. Japanese breakfast is a delight for your senses. Beautifully presented and delicious. The staff is probably their best asset. Warm and attentive, they really make you feel welcome.

I stayed here for just a one day trip to Kyoto. It was a nice and cheap hotel. The lobby was so cool. The staffs were friendly. The hotel is a little bit far away from Kyoto station but you can easily go there by bus or taxi. It only cost 230 yen for bus and around 700 yen for taxi(Didi).
I booked a room with a breakfast and I got a Japanese breakfast. It was good to eat rice and soup but I actually prefer a scrambled eggs :) but since their hospitality is great I can’t give them like even 4 stars.
There are various concepts in each room, and it is a hotel that can be enjoyed by those who can allow playfulness. It is not suitable for those who want to sleep quietly because the sound leakage such as the sound of the next room is also strong. Toilets and baths (private time) are shared, but the facilities themselves are spacious and clean. The rest depends on the morals of the user.
By far one of the best hostels I've stayed in - the cleanliness and interior was reminiscent of a 4-star hotel! Location was great, staff were friendly, and absolutely no complaints. It was definitely a highlight on my first trip to Japan late 2019.
The room was big with high ceiling. The garden was pretty and well kept. The breakfast was very good. Staff were very sweet - letting us stay past check out time at a lounge to work for an hour - good nespresso machine and nice tea selection. The location is also very central. The only thing is it was not cheap on a regular Wednesday but everything else was perfect.
Lovely hotel in Kyoto. I have been twice now and I will go back this year!
The staff are really nice and helpful. I had an issue in my room with a noise AC unit and they immediately moved me to another room. They even helped me carry over my suits!
Highly recommend.
Loved it. Such a trendy hotel. Great value, clean and friendly staff. The social space downstairs is perfect. Great communal kitchen, sitting spaces, free to access library / bookstore and seating areas.
Spent two days here. The hotel seems like it’s pretty new. The rooms are great and very clean (a bit small but it’s expected in japan). The staff is incredible and well versed in English. There is a great coffee machine in the lobby. Close to public transportation and plenty of restaurants. Highly recommended!
I couldn't recommend this place enough. The family that own it are lovely, the food is delicious and rooms are clean. If you want a relaxed stay in Kyoto right next to be beautiful Japanese garden. Stay here.
Nice new hotel, opened in spring 2019, relatively spacious room when compared with other business hotel near the Kyoto JR Station. Offered free afternoon tea, wine tasting happy hour and late night snacks. Staff speak good English. You can have 500 Yens rebate each night if you choose no cleanup.
The staff is very helpful, prices are reasonable and the rooms are spacious for Japanese hotels. The hotel is doing a great job ensuring the staff and guests stay safe during these times. I feel safe when staying here.
Great stay. The hotel staff were super helpful prior to our arrival with help making restaurant reservations, and also a last minute one during our stay. Really appreciated how kind and helpful the staff were. The room was perfect, comfortable, with everything we would want or need. A 2 min walk to Kyoto station. Would definitely return
