We agreed that if we're fortunate enough to return to Kyoto, we will definitely stay there again. The hotel was excellent value for money. It had spacious (by local standards) rooms that were spotless and stylish, comfortable beds, and a great shower. We loved the location on a quiet and atmospheric street. Buses and the subway were nearby and it was an easy walk to the train station and to the historic part of the city. The staff were absolutely wonderful. They were polite, friendly, and very helpful. On our last day we were able to leave our luggage with them all day as we continued exploring the city. They made a wonderful restaurant recommendation that was a local favourite (delicious) and they helped us call a taxi on our last day. I would love to stay here again any time! ##### Liane Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Len, Canada 16 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Size of the room is good and not cramp.

Quiet and excellent location with supermarket close by. Walking towards the hotel the streets are full of traditional homes you just can't stop taking photos.

Taxi o bus necessari x raggiungere i quartieri interessanti. Hotel piccolissimo con staff scadente. Pulizie delle camere mal effettuate o non fatte per niente Colazione scadente servita in ingresso a turno su un unico tavolo per tutta la decina di camere. Letti piccoli quasi impossibili per due persone nonostante la camera con due letti venga assegnata anche a quattro persone. Il prezzo tuttavia è lo stesso degli altri hotel di standard internazionale della zona. Sconsiglio questo hotel. ##### Giovanna Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Nathan 16 Apr 2019 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Great location for local transport options Carpet in room needs replacing and more detail to general cleanliness but comfortable and the staff was very friendly ##### Nathan Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 26 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceeded all Expectations!
