We stayed 5 days in room 409, a very quiet room, away from the Street. The staff was very helpful. The hotel is locatie less then a 10 min walk from Kyoto train station. Only at breakfast it can be a bit crowded.

I checked in around 2pm and was warmly welcomed by two friendly and professional staff members. They went above and beyond to assist with arranging my airport transfer, which was greatly appreciated. The room was lovely, spotlessly clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is also in a fantastic location, making it easy to get around. A wonderful stay and I would happily return.

If you’re coming to Kyoto, STAY HERE! It has the perfect mix of traditional ryokan style and modern amenities, plus the onsen is amazing! The staff were all very helpful and allowed me into the onsen even with tattoos. The staff also provided a lot of optional free tours like their bus service which takes you around the popular temples of Kyoto! Next vacation we are definitely staying here again!
