"Wow , I can really only say such positive things about this hotel. It is really close to a train station, about a 3 minute walk and is down a smaller side street so it was really quiet. The staff at the hotel are amazing, so friendly and so helpful. They recommended an amazing small sushi place (sushizen, highly recommend to go but go earlier in the day as their last order is 6:30) and were always available if we had questions. The lounge was a really nice addition. Orange juice, iced coffee, the breads and pastries (even olive oil and balsamic vinegar) were always available. Also as a smoker, I appreciated that although they didn’t have a smoking room / lounge like other hotels, they provided a small ashtray for you to use so you could smoke off to the side of the hotel. If you’re a pokemon and Nintendo fan, both of those stores are about a 10-15 min walk from the hotel, and the streets they are on have covers over the sidewalk so if it’s raining you won’t get wet. There is also a Kura sushi nearby which was a cool experience, but go early. After a long day of walking the full body shower was a nice addition. And using the tub to soak your tired feet in cold water was also nice. The room we stayed in was really big compared to the other hotels we stayed in. It had the toilet in a separate room from the sink and shower area. This room also had a small closet which we haven’t seen either which was a great addition to hang up our clothes in. Mattress was very firm so be aware. "

"The location was excellent and convenient to all the shopping area and public transportation."

"Excellent place to stay, near to transit options and restaurants."

"The best hotel I stayed in while I was in Japan (stayed in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka). This hotel felt like luxury! Free snacks, drinks, and appetizers and hotel was gorgeous! I loved our room and wished we stayed longer. It was super convenient to get to any destination in Kyoto since the subway and bus station are within a block. "

"Had a perfect stay here, located right next to so many food options, and a bus stop. I'd say the best thing about this hotel is that its located so close to the Nishiki Marke, and sooo many shopping places from designer, vintage, and other name brands. I could shop there forever."

"My friend and I stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed our stay! Check-in was easy and our room was quite comfortable. We both thought the breakfast was excellent. They provide a Japanese-influenced breakfast buffet and don't offer the same items every single day, which I was a fan of. Other than breakfast, the hotel doesn't offer too many other amenities, but we found it to be perfect for our needs. A subway station is about a 10-minute walk away, there are lots of nearby restaurants, and you'll see lots of convenience stores along the same block! All in all, if you're looking for a lowkey and comfy place that's near the Gion district, this hotel is a great choice!"

"Excellent location, clean, friendly staff, easy accommodations and lots of fun stuff nearby"

"It was a terrific property and I especially loved the communal bath. After a long day of walking and shopping, being able to use their facilities was amazing!! Definitely would come back to the same facility again."

"The hotel has a great location, right next to the shopping street(s). It is a short maybe five minute walk from the street where the taxi will let you off. The room was larger than expected and accommodated two people just fine. I really enjoyed staying at this hotel "
