I loved! The hotel is in a great location there are places to buy food, a small river to cool off in, the metro and the bus all within a 10 minute walk. The rooms are really cute, you can cook there, there is a miniature TV in the sauna shower in addition to a bathtub and a washing machine. It really is the ideal hotel to enjoy Kyoto in a typical Japanese room

It is less than 5 minutes away from Higashiyama subway station, bus station, and Furukawa Shopping Street. The room is comfortable, the equipment is modern and fully equipped, and it can be used for simple cooking. It is also easy to obtain supplies. If you have any questions, you can quickly find the service staff to solve them. Whether it's a message or a counter, the price is very reasonable. You can only hear it if you move a lot while walking, but there's really nothing to fault! It’s worth recommending!

I arrived with my family at 1:00 PM to leave our luggage. There was no one at the front desk. Even though I pressed the "call" button 20 times, nobody showed up. We also tried calling the phone but couldn’t get through. After waiting for 20 minutes and trying to call again, a foreign lady finally showed up to take our reservation. The delay was very frustrating.
