The staff was excellent and helped us to get our luggage transferred to our next hotel. The food and drink options at the cafe are excellent. The hotel itself is also quiet and has a nice communal kitchen and dining area. Overall, a great stay in a quiet area.

Great hotel in a cozy area

Great calm location away from the busy tourist areas of Kyoto, very charming area with nice little shops, places to eat and coffee to enjoy. Staff is very friendly and help, the cafe at the hotel itself is great and has friendly prices too, there’s great coffee available (you have to and it yourself) freely in the skate kitchen. Would definitely stay here again
