Beautiful building, so serene after day with the maddening crowds. Quiet ++, slept so well. Brilliant position, able to get up early and walk Gion area in peace. Walking distance to Potoncho Alley and market. Train line to Fushian Inari is 5 minutes walk away. Crossiant for breakfast is perfect, quick and tasty and you can get going with your day. Front of house staff are attentive and sweet. Suggested and booked an amazing restaurant for us, a short walk away. Organised on forwarding of luggage and taxi to Kyoto station. We were enchanted!

Location was perfect for walking in the beautiful Gion area. Nishiki market and Pontocho street were just across the bridge and 7/11 next door for morning smoothies. Our deluxe room was really modern but with japanese feel, perfect! Plenty of room and the bed was the best we slept in on our trip. Staff was very helpful. Would stay here again.

Nothing to change.

The location was terrific. Walkable for most of the Gion area, right next to a 7-11. The rooms were new, comfortable, clean, large, and space well used. Especially loved the wet room and tub after a long day! The service and concierge was terrific. Having laundry in the hotel was a game changer. We are already planning to stay here again when we return.

EVERYTHING! The location is brilliant - right in Gion. The room is large, spectacular and so well appointed. The shower is amazing and the bed so comfy. The staff could not be more helpful - so attentive and so friendly - and the complementary croissant and coffee to start the day was a lovely touch. It was my husband’s birthday and the hotel made it really special with an impromptu card and a small bottle of champagne. The hotel is small - only 10 rooms - making it so intimate. The hotel have a washer dryer onsite and were very helpful when we used it (3 times!).

Breakfast could have a variety and milk with tea as I don't take coffee.

Details - I like the fact that the room was equipped with an oven that allows patrons to have their cold food heated up. I came during winter in Feb 24 and I reached the hotel late at night with my cold bento. It was lovely to just see an oven in my room. The room was also equipped with a rag that has a warm rod where it warms up your hung clothes ensuring you put on warm clothes in this winter. Also, the air purifier is switched on 24/7 for you and the water is changed by the hotel staff during room service. Unlike some hotels, to switch on the purifier, I will have to also maintained it on my own. Overall, out of the 3 hotels I stayed in Japan for 2 weeks, this hotel definitely left me with great impression in terms of the consideration taken to a patron's needs. The room was superbly clean especially the carpet, I did not spot dust at corners that was hard to reach. Toilet was neatly designed with the shower room separated from the dry area. Location - Walking distance to subways and the central. You can also walk to Yasaka Shrine =) Food - There is a tablet in the room that has recommendations to delicious food nearby and I tried this place that is about 300m walk to have really good Gyoza, ginger soup, potato salad and rice. I went there on a winter, rainy night and it was so good to have this meal.

The location is perfect, close to most of attractions by walking, in a walking distance there is a train station. The staff is kind and helpful. The morning coffee is a great start for the day. We booked a Japanese style room which was spacious, clean and with a great bath.

I wish there was more natural light in our room. Everything else was great.

Fantastic location, the room was great, the bed was comfy and the washroom was spacious. Concierge was super helpful, especially Tonia as she helped us ship our luggage to our next destination.

We should have stayed a week instead of a couple nights! The place is top notch from staff to facility.

I thought we were just booking an simple Airbnb, when in actuality we were booking a room in a modern Japanese boutique hotel. It was exceptional beyond our expectations. We will go back and suggest you give it a stay the next time you are in Kyoto!

The best location in Gion.

More information about the area upon check in would have been useful. I only found the maps of the area etc on the day we left.

Beautiful building very close to Gion with great rooms and very friendly staff.

The staff were friendly and very welcoming when we arrived, and the room was magnificent. Very large for what I have come accustom to while travelling in Japan. Comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom.

Everything was perfect. I didn’t like that we had to leave!! We will be back.

What an incredible find! This wonderful boutique hotel is a modern take on a traditional ryokan. We were a family of 5 and enjoyed 3 nights in 2 rooms at this little gem. Set in the bustling night life district of Gion, we felt like locals. The staff were friendly and attentive. The rooms were absolutely spotless and every amenity thought of. The Nespresso coffee machine was a winner but my favorite feature was the bathroom. So much fun in the shower room and I am sure that the very fancy toilet could read my mind! Haha. A wondrous experience.
