Great stay at the hotel. Service was amazing, they really went out of their way for us. Breakfast and coffee was excellent - filling and delicious. Rooms are clean and nice. Hotel location requires a bit of walking from a station but is located in a quiet nice neighborhood near other popular areas of Kyoto.Internet was poor in our room but I think just because of the location of our room in a corner. Overall highly recommend.

It seems that it was once all a hotel where the owner lived. Currently, only the third floor is a hotel and is used by a corporation.

We stayed 4 days in this small hotel close to the shopping streets of Kyoto (approx. 7 min on foot), close to Pontochou and Gion (15-20 min on foot) and Kyoto station. …
