Very nice boutique hotel close to subway station. Staff was super friendly. Modern room furnishing with comfortable bed and washroom layout. Complimentary 24/7 coffee and breads and pastries was a nice perk. Highly recommend.

Uber cool boutique style. 24 hour pastry and drinks buffet in reception. Great access to main shopping area and subway network. Small carpark opposite is good value.

Excellent professional service at a lovely hotel.
Excellent professional service at a lovely hotel. The location is incredible - very central, right by the subway station which is on both lines, and walking distance to various sites. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable. The road which the hotel is on is also very quiet - even though we were only on the 3rd floor there was no traffic noise. The complimentary tea, coffee and pastries were also very welcome each morning.

Rooms had an excellent interior design. Additional sliding door inside the room helps to block unwanted noises from the hallway and bathroom. Complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and baked goods in the lounge were excellent for a basic breakfast. Baked goods were always fresh and never stale. Single washer and dryer were always available somehow. Vinyl records and Marshall speaker in the lounge were great!

Awesome spot in Kyoto
Excellent location in short walking distance to two metro lines. Comfortable beds, largest shower/bath of any hotel we stayed at in Japan, comfortable and spacious lobby, and free use of bicycles (if you get there early enough in the morning). Far and away our favorite hotel of our trip!

Loved our stay at this hotel. The room was a little small, standard for Japan, but clean and had all the needed amenities. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Hotel lobby is beautiful and has a 24/7 snack bar. Staff were friendly and helpful and stored our luggage for an extra day before we arrived. The neighborhood around the hotel was very quiet but has ample restaurants and bars within walking distance, close to the subway and easily accessible to major tourist destinations. We would stay here again.

Great hotel, would recommend!
Genuinely a fantastic stay, we'll be coming back when we're next in Kyoto! The hotel is in a good location right near Karasuma station. The staff were really friendly and helpful (they made restaurant recommendations and rang around to get our large group a booking more than once). The lobby is outstanding, clean, well maintained and the pastries/bread on offer is delicious. The room was the biggest we had while travelling in Japan. The ONLY irritation is that there's a single washing machine in the hotel so it was a headache trying to use it, but we ended up at a coin laundry 500m away!

The bread and coffee machine worked so well for our trip. We didn’t rent the bikes but that would have been a great plus and the laundry machine if you can get in there before a line forms is a quick one with large capacity.

This property is excellent value for money. There are complimentary drinks and breads available all day, free bikes on a first come first serve basis and the staff is wonderful. The rooms are a good size and key attractions can be reached by walking and/or public transport.

They provide a 24/7 coffee bar and pastry service when you stay with them. The train to get places is also super close. There is a 7-11 about a quarter of a mile around the corner for all your convenience needs
