Clean, big room lots of perks.

This was a great hotel in a prime location. Outside was nice and did not look like a hotel. Rooms were clean, bathroom was clean. Bed and sheets were comfortable and soft. Small amenities in the room were nice touch, like pjs, robes, and sandals. Rooftop bar and foot bath was pleasant. We looked forward to foot bath every evening. Check in area was nice and kept. Staff was polite and was very helpful. Highly recommend this hotel and would definitely go back.

Do not expect a nice view outside the window if you get a room on the side of the hotel - you will see just the wall of the next building 1m away.

Great location, very clean and well equipped rooms - small but arranged in a good way, friendly and helpful staff.

Only criticism we have is that we would have loved to have caught a later transfer service - we understood we had an 11am check out but as our train wasn’t until around 2pm it would have been great to store our bags and come back to get a transfer to the station a bit later!

Comfortable, spacious, friendly staff, and an enjoyable cultural experience

Bathroom is spacious. Room is warmly lit. Hotel was super clean and staff was friendly and professional. The onsen was fantastic, and each of the bath stalls had wall separators. The rooftop was the best, we would go at the end of the day for the hot foot soak and eat some snacks and unwind. Location is 10/10, with train stations close by. Had trips to Fushimi, arashiyama, Nara, and Osaka from here with no issues. Would come back again.

There was an unexpected onsen charge that was not specified at the time of booking. Any hidden charges always make the experience less enjoyable. Would have preferred to have paid everything all at once

The rooms were nice and big

Breakfast - only Japanese style

Location, foot spa and views

Stayed in June 2025

We didn’t get the opportunity to try the breakfast, every time we went up it was already gone. We tried going at 6am and 8am and it was empty both times on multiple days. must’ve been really good though!

We enjoyed the amenities the property had to offer! The views from the roof top terrace were phenomenal and the foot onsen really helped my sore feet! We went multiple times and it never felt crowded. The staff were very attentive and friendly!

The rooms are small but beautifully formed!

Beautiful boutique hotel with a stunning rooftop bar and onsen. The staff were beyond helpful and friendly. It’s location is perfect for exploring Kyoto just a 10 minute walk to Gion

First class in every way. Loved the traditional Japanese room, rooftop bar with foot bath, and onsen.

AC could have been better. Would have preferred a closet to the sofa but it feels very japanese.

Beautiful hotel, nice staff and an amazing terrace and bath with a great view over the older part of the city. Japanese size standard on the room (barely enough room to open your suitcase) but there was a hallway and a very good bathroom. (You could close two doors between the bedroom and the bathroom.) You could take free beverages and popsicles on the onsen floor.

Great location. Loved the onsen. Nice rooftop terrace with hot foot bath to relax feet after a long day walking.

Beautiful modern hotel. Staff very helpful (especially Coco) with restaurant recommendations and booking. Lovely onsen and rooftop.

The room could’ve been a bit more spacious, but other than that everything else was excellent.

I absolutely loved this hotel! The bed was comfortable, staff were very hospitable, and the view from one of the onsets was breathtaking.

It's a shame the onsen had a covered-tattoo rule. For the number of foreign guests it must limit who can use it. We were unable to use the onsen as we have tattoos that cannot be covered. Obviously this didn't impact the stay at the hotel itself, which was immaculate, but would have been nice if we could have used it.

Nicely designed, conveniently located, just across the river from Gion and down the street from Nishiki Market. Room was spotlessly clean and in the style of a traditional Japanese room with tatami and screens across the windows. Room is small, but fits a lot of amenities. Nightshirts and slippers are provided for in the room, while yukata and sandals are provided to wear around the hotel. The free drink every evening on the roof terrace is a lovely treat, and the view is spectacular. Staff were incredibly helpful, and they are able to send your luggage onto your next hotel with next day delivery.

More options for the breakfast bento would be nice. We stayed here for 4 nights so we got the exact same food for 4 days in a row. I enjoyed it but my partner grew tired of the food after 2 days. If possible 2 options such as western and Japanese style breakfast.

We didn't expect our experience at the hotel to be this good. The room is beautiful with tea and coffee facilities, smart TV, and many sockets for us tourists with many appliances to charge. Hotel facilities included for no extra charge are: onsen, coffee/tea machines, snacks, and rooftop drinks. The location is so close to Gion and the shopping area. Plenty of restaurants, souvenir shops, snack shops to choose from in the area. This hotel is perfect for couples and people traveling in pairs.

Room was super small, with big suitcases it can be difficult to manoeuvre (there is a dedicated spot for one suitcase). Need to pay just for sitting at the rooftop.

The hotel looked new and everything was stylish and well-designed, with a Japanese touch. Room was cleaned every day, including restock of 4x500ml of mineral water (which was great not having to buy and carry bottles of water to the room every night). Shower was great. Staff were friendly and willing to help, even if with some we had a language barrier. Nice rooftop. Location is perfect- close to train/bus stations, right across Gion and next to big shopping centers.

Beautiful hotel - great area. Very walkable to many Kyoto sites. Lovely roof top bar and Onsen to relax at end of a long day. It is true, the rooms are small. However they are very well designed and we had no problems either space - it just takes a bit of creativity to figure out the best way to store your suitcase. Minor problem that certainly doesn’t impact how lovely the hotel is overall.

Room a bit small but very comfortable, cozy and very clean.

The bento box breakfast is beautiful present and good to eat also. Very good location with easy access to transportation and close to everything that we want to see.
