This room was spacious with lots of light sources for creating a warm, calm evening mood or a bright working space. The tub was deep for soaking and the shower had strong water pressure. Slippers are provided and excellent bidet toilet with a strong flush. Good AC in the room. The windows throughout the hotel and room are frosted so you can't see out your windows, but plenty of natural light can still come through. The walls are thicker than standard too. One night, we had a family next door with multiple young kids screaming and literally bouncing off the walls (I can only imagine what was happening in there!). We heard muffled sounds, but when we opened the room door and went in the hallway, it was so loud! I was very impressed with how muffled it was from inside our room. We also couldn't hear any outside noise despite construction outside across the street. Overall, the street was not busy or loud though. It's a quiet neighborhood. There is a washer/dryer combo downstairs. You will need more drying time to completely dry your clothes. There is also ice and cold water available in the same room downstairs with a sleek clear acrylic pitcher provided in the room. This was great for refilling water bottles and making tea and coffee in the room. The hotel also offers lots of free toiletries in the room and on a table by the front desk. They also have umbrellas free to use by hotel guests. This was my favorite stay over all the cities we stayed in while on vacation in Japan.

We had a great time staying here. The staff was incredibly friendly and spoke excellent, but limited english. The room was tidy, cozy, and had enough space for relaxation. On level 1, there is a microwave and laundry. For our anniversary, we received a lovely towel swans! It offered excellent value for the money.

The hotel features are brandnew, and the room is quite peaceful at night. The scenic areas are not far away. Bus transportation is also quite convenient. Convenience stores and supermarkets are close by. This stay is quite satisfying because the kiwi fruit sold in the supermarket is really good!.

Hotel is away from the crowd but in a super conveniet location. Close to Higashiyama Sanjo subway station and walking distance to major attractions. Enjoyed browsing around the neighborhoold to feel the life of the locals. Wonderful options for meals, from authentic french pastry for breakfast to fusion with local fresh ingredients for dinner. The premises is very well maintain and equipped. Enjoyed staying in the room with two twin beds as well as tatatmi area - the fusion of modern and tradition.

The hotel is very nice and the service attitude is good. The location is near kiyomizu temple and the eight major shrines, and transportation is very convenient. The equipment and facilities are complete, with dry and wet separation. A highly recommended hotel near kyoto!.

In the midst of the action, this peaceful location offers easy access to both yasaka shrine and gioon. The room is spacious as well. Additionally, there is a lifestyle supermarket nearby where you can purchase fruits. The only downside is that when the air conditioner was switched on, the room i stayed in had a slight odor.

Kuil Yasaka dan Kuil Chion-in dapat dicapai dengan berjalan kaki singkat. Keuntungan terbesarnya adalah tenang dan ruangannya cukup besar. Tidak banyak makanan yang bisa dimakan di sekitar, jadi yang terbaik adalah makan sebelum kembali dan toko serba ada tidak jauh dari sana.

Hotel ini sangat bagus dan pelayanannya juga baik. Lokasinya yang dekat dengan Kuil Kiyomizu-dera dan delapan Kuil Agung, membuat transportasi menjadi sangat nyaman. Kami dilengkapi dengan peralatan dan fasilitas untuk memisahkan kering dan basah. Ini adalah hotel yang sangat direkomendasikan di dekat Kyoto!

Im happy with this place. The tatami room is very comfortable for my kids. Its also very comfortable to go for a city walk. Its not far from the center scenic spot, but its comfortable because there arent many people.
