Fantastic little hotel we loved staying here the most out of all our stays in Japan. Very comfortable super close to the bars of Pontocho park restaurants and a short walk to Sanjo subway and local busses it’s easy to get around. …

The hotel is perfect for getting around Kyoto, it is well located. Rooms not very big but they are enough to sleep. The only downside is that the neighborhood is quite noisy until the early hours of the morning. Friendly staff.

Taisho retro room and furniture. A very atmospheric space.The location is also good, close to Kamogawa and Pontocho.The view from the rooftop was also nice. I feel like I see different faces during the day, evening, and night.The customer service from the employees was pleasant and I had a good time.The breakfast was delicious, but compared to the quality of other hotels these days, it's a bit unsatisfactory. I think it would have been even better if they had more menu items that are unique to Kyoto.

The best hotel of my trip to Japan so far. The rooms are very large and very modern. The equipment is good quality and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I had a room on the 7th floor and didn't notice any of the hustle and bustle outside. The hotel has two coin-operated washing machines. Alternatively, you can go to the laundromat around the corner.
