This hotel was the best out of the hotels we stayed at on our two week trip (3 hotels total). If you’re looking for a great hotel in Kyoto it’s this hotel. Room was clean and beautiful. Bed was excellent (all other beds we slept on were hard and bad). Bathroom was great! Close to the subway and bus stop (use the bus - super easy, fast and clean). Next door to convenience store (very helpful). Blocks from Kyoto station (also very helpful). One block from a beautiful shrine. Coin-op laundromat...

This is a gorgeous place to stay, the staff is very friendly and very helpful. The hotel lobby is very discrete the staff is very welcoming and they gave us great suggestions for lunch and dinner very close.

This hotel is not to be missed if you are coming to Kyoto and want to be in the heart of the Pontocho area overlooking the river. The room we were in was clean, spacious (slept 3 with plenty of space) and the large bathroom was like a mini spa featuring a wonderful wooden soaking tub. The staff are superb and friendly. Every question we had about getting to and from a location or getting a taxi or even getting food for an early train was answered and if not immediately, it was researched and...

This is a very authentic machiya experience: tatami floors, futons rolled out on the floor, a deep soaking wooden tub, a historic building (it used to be a sake brewery). The machiya is in outstanding shape--cleanliness, modern amenities (wifi, AC, Japanese bidet). (Note that part of the authenticity means no western beds, a steep traditional staircase up to the second floor, and the primary seating is also on tatami mats, so for those with mobility disabilities, it might not be the best...
