Beautiful hotel in an awesome location. Friendly staff. Room was spacious with a huge bathroom and separate toilet. Was a great stay! ##### Alessandra Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony 27 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room is really big with a tatami area where you can relax. You can move the beds around easily. Everyone in the front desk speaks fluent English. It has an old school key lock. It only has roughly 12 rooms. So even though it only has 1 washer, it was empty every time we have to use it. It also had an ice and water machine. It is in a quiet neighbourhood that is close to many shrines. The only minor complaint I have is there was a weird smell coming from either the washroom or the shower room. We had to turn the exhaust fan on the entire time to get rid of it. Also the TV was positioned in away such that it took me 5 minutes to connect the HDMI. ##### Tony Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lim 11 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean and well maintain hotel Overall experience is good, hotel condition is excellence, only thing missing is lack of water dispenser. ##### Lim Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mateusz 4 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location, plaseant and comfortable room, nice and quiet building. Not enough storage space for family of four. ##### Mateusz Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lap Yee 21 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hotel is away from the crowd but in a super conveniet location. Close to Higashiyama Sanjo subway station and walking distance to major attractions. Enjoyed browsing around the neighborhoold to feel the life of the locals. Wonderful options for meals, from authentic french pastry for breakfast to fusion with local fresh ingredients for dinner. The premises is very well maintain and equipped. Enjoyed staying in the room with two twin beds as well as tatatmi area - the fusion of modern and tradition. ##### Lap Yee Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irene 3 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A little bit hard to find at first, but it’s in a convenient spot ##### Irene Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Guada 10 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Located in a very quiet neighborhood near convenient stores and restaurants. Very clean hotel and friendly staff. A block away is a river, it is peaceful and serene. Keep in mind that housekeeping comes every 4 days and the lobby hours are very limited, staff isn't there 24hrs. Check in is at 4pm. Also read the washer and dryer directions very carefully because it washed my clothes again and I had to pay to dry it again. Overall, I highly recommend for a stay in Kyoto. ##### Guada Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Akiko 4 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities みやこめっせでの仕事にいくために宿泊しました。近くに静かなバルもあり、軽食を1人でとるにも便利でした。周辺もコンビニ、スーパーがあり多少の買い物も困りません。大通りに近くタクシーも広い安いです。ホテルの室内がやや暗く、洗面台はメイクをするにはもう少し明るいライトを用意してほしいです。新しくきれいな宿でした。 ##### Akiko Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Akiko 1 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 全体的にはよいが、洗面台で化粧するにはくらいです。 ##### Akiko Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Joshua 26 Nov 2025 ##### Joshua Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug 17 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Doug Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 14 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Michael Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### SHIMIZU 1 Sept 2024 ##### SHIMIZU Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yongmin 22 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Yongmin Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 11 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### xiaoyun 26 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### xiaoyun Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### みほ 29 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### みほ Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn 14 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Kathryn Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ---
