This was a beautiful hotel! We stayed at some big hotels in Tokyo and wanted a smaller place to stay in Kyoto that reflected Japanese architecture. I found this hotel on Expedia and booked it and so glad I did! The hotel was beautiful with tradition Japanese look and feel but with all the modern amenities. The kids slept on mattresses in a screened off room and loved it. The front desk staff were all lovely, and the free washer and dryer were a big plus. We also had breakfast for W days

Wonderful quiet location. An easy walk to many areas. We had a three person room and it was comfortable and clean. We had a washer/ dryer in our room but it took a very long time to run a cycle. We should’ve used the laundry on the first floor. We could hear our neighbors at some point but it was never to the point where we could not sleep. The staff was very kind and helpful with our many questions. We would definitely stay here again!
