    Check in time was a bit late (16:00) but luckily we could check in a bit earlier.

    The staffs were very kind and there is a nice rooftop terrace. Also there is a nice cafe nearby called Pie cafe. And very accessible to Kiyomizu Temple area. Multiple bus stops are located near hotel as well so easy to access to Kyoto Station

    Nothing we disliked, but far warning, the standard room has no wardrobe and the bathroom might have been a bit small for larger persons. For us it was comfortable enough.

    Location is great! Kyoto Station, Gion, etc. are close-by. Suitcases fit under the beds!

    The friendliest hotel of our trip to Japan
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Standard Double Room - Non-Smoking
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The rooms are small and basic with a very compact bathroom (not a luxury hotel!). But still contained everything we needed

    Lovely staff made the stay very pleasant. They were always ready to help with explanations, umbrellas or extra pillows, and friendly greetings. They also dealt efficiently with receiving and sending our luggage to Tokyo. Amenities include a very useful laundry room; a free hot/cold drinks machine and a small kitchen in the lobby; and a terrace with chairs on the top floor. Location is good too (half an hour's walk from Kyoto train station, but close to Gion and Kiyomizu-dera temple).

    The beds were a little too firm for our tastes.

    The hotel was very clean and the staff was courteous. The view from the terrace was beautiful, and they had good amenities. It was close to Kiyomizu-dera.

    If I had to say anything, the amenities and the room were somewhat plain, but it wasn’t an issue and wouldn’t deter me from staying here again.

    The location was so convenient for going to Kiyomizu-dera and catching the bus go travel around Kyoto. The staff members were super helpful and nice. The lobby area had a comfortable lounge area to spend time in.

    - strong smell of dust in the room despite the cleanliness of the room (maybe because of the carpet floor ?) - a bit expensive

    - extremely well located - staff was super friendly - the free cookies at the end - free drinks at the machine - early check in - storage luggage for free - washing machine + dryer

    Far from Gion, but not their fault.

    They were incredibly kind to us. They gave us a softer mattress and pillows. Very accommodating and polite. Exceeded expectations. Close to bus station and kiyomizu.

    The wifi on the 3rd floor was quite bad😢

    The hotel is situated in the traditional neighborhood of Sannenzaka, just a small walk to Kyomizudera. There are many souvenir shops around, food stalls and sweets, so there are plenty of options for a quick bite. Even after they close at 18:00( yes quite early), there is a convenience store just a couple of minutes away. There is also microwave at the lobby where you can heat up food and eat it in your room or at the lobby tables. The room itself was spotless and spacious for Japanese standards. The bathroom was equipped with a new age toilet ( the one we all love) and shower products. I really liked the bed, which was very firm, but if you don’t, you can ask for a topper or extra pillows. If you want to go the center of the town or to the train station, there is a bus stop just a minute away. Finally, the people at the reception were the stars of this hotel. Very polite, friendly and helpful, ready to accommodate our every need. They will also store your luggage, if you have a late flight and give you cookies when you check out!

    Convenient location to Kiyomizu temple and the district leading up to the temple. Easy access to public transport (bus route down the road). There were English speaking staff that helped with our smooth check-in in. They also offered luggage delivery servi, es so we had ours shipped to this location and used their shipping services to ship it to our next location. Ground floor had amenities needed, including free warm/cold drinks from their dispenser. Comfort wise for the room - spacious and had everything you needed. Beds are firm however wasn't too much of an issue for us. Washing machine and dryer available upstairs to use as well. Would stay here again if we come back to Kyoto!
