Reviews and Ratings
Returning to the hotel after a day of exploring Kyoto, I was delighted to find our room ready and a warm cup of matcha tea waiting for us. The room, the largest available, was simply beautiful and equipped with controllable heaters, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay.
The hotel has a warm and friendly atmosphere, feeling like a home away from home. It is conveniently located near interesting shops and a must-see temple. The dining experience is exceptional, exceeding all expectations with a delicious breakfast.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag of experiences. The rooms were surprisingly spacious and clean, but the noise from the major road was a drawback. The service exceeded my expectations with friendly and helpful staff, though some spoke only Japanese. The location was convenient, within walking distance of Kyoto Station, but the surrounding noise was noticeable. The dining options were varied and tasty, providing a filling meal. Overall, a value-for-money stay with some minor inconveniences.
I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The location is fantastic, surrounded by artisanal shops and just a stone's throw away from Higashi Honganji Temple. The rooms were stunning and immaculately clean, exactly as described. The service was beyond exceptional, with a passionate and welcoming staff. The dining was a delight, although some dishes might be too flavorful for those unaccustomed. Overall, a wonderful stay!
My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The traditional Japanese room was ready for us after a long day of exploring Kyoto, complete with a delightful touch of hot matcha tea. The room, although not the largest, exuded a calming traditional style, and having a private shower added to the relaxation. The proximity to a clean toilet facility was convenient. The service was impeccable, with the staff being so friendly and accommodating, always striving to make our stay perfect. The location was outstanding, nestled on a charming treed street near Kyoto Station and various bus stops. As for dining, the meals were not only delicious but also a unique culinary experience. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
