Excellent hotel, so glad I found it. Would definitely return. Very calm feeling about the place. Only 4 rooms per floor, and 5 floors. Very soothing atmosphere with spacious rooms, fantastic shower and thoughtful layout. Has a washer/dryer which costs ¥600 for one wash/dry. Breakfast was small but high quality. Lounge had beer and wine and snacks for the evening. Finally the staff went out of their way to help as we were there during a typhoon and gave us information on how to get to Tokyo!

The hotel is perfect for spending a few days sightseeing in Kyoto. Clean, with all the comforts, well located. It has a common washing machine that you can use, and a 24-hour lounge area where you can help yourself to free water, coffee, tea,… They also have irons and boards available to guests and a wide selection of amenities. Metro 5 minutes away, but you can walk to many points of interest in the city. The staff helps you with restaurant reservations and everything you need and they have a luggage shipping service to the next destination for a very good price that takes less than 48 hours to arrive.
