Excellent Hotel

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The rooms were modern, stylish, and comfortable—clearly designed with the guest in mind. The location was perfect, especially for walking and exploring the area. The food on-site was solid, and the spa amenities were a standout—truly a highlight of the stay. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a well-rounded, relaxing, and upscale experience.

Great hotel right in the heart of the city. Super convenient to be able to walk to Nishiki market and the surrounding areas with ease each day. The staff was super friendly and the amenities were great. Even had an onsen in the basement to wind down after a busy day. Would certainly recommend!

My partner and I loved staying here. The staff are wonderful and accommodating. The breakfasts were lovely and it was incredibly convenient for us to get around. The room was cozy and comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Not to mention, the overall atmosphere of the hotel was inviting and warm. Would love to stay here again next time we’re in Kyoto!

Really nice hotel in Gion with tons of action, shopping, restaurants, temples, and tourists attractions nearby. Excellent service, tasty Japanese/ Japanised Western buffet breakfast, and even a onsen-style public bath (separate for men and women). Easy to get to with train and subway.

Great hotel

Good hotel in a lovely central location. Very nice staff and good breakfast. Room very small but as we only stayed one night it wasn’t a problem.

The Hotel was good . The Buffet Breakfast not so good. Items that should have hot or warm were cold
Keith, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean and comfortable room. Helpful staff. Nice and quiet area and hotel. Easy for getting out to other areas of the city. The sento was wonderful. We did not use the bar or restaurant. We expected the Gion area to be livlier than it was, but Pontocho is just a short walk.
