I come to Kyoto from time to time, but there aren't many hotels that I would want to stay at again. It was a calm space based on Japanese style, and the room had everything I needed and was very comfortable.The rest area located in front of the public bath on the 9th floor has such a beautiful view that you'll want to enjoy the view while drinking a cocktail. Convenience stores and Sugi Pharmacy are 1 minute walk away, so it's convenient for purchasing beer and other small items.The only downside was that the water in the open-air bath in the large public bath was too hot (the temperature in all baths other than the open-air bath was comfortable).All the staff are polite and the service is great, like cutting your nails or lending out necessary items to help you with itchy areas! !Also, the food is amazing. There was a wide variety of Kyoto obanzai, and the Saikyoyaki was delicious.I would like to come back and recommend this hotel to my friends.

The hotel is very central. The area feels safe and lively. We wanted to have a more authentic experience so decided to stay here. The rooms are big and clean. Definitely have a lot of charm. It was interesting to stay in more traditional hotel and then read about the traditions online as you explore the room. The staff will set your bed in the evening in case you wonder where it is 😁 obviously you sleep at the floor level. It was more comfortable than I thought it would be. We didn’t try the bath so can’t comment on that. The breakfast is traditional Japanese with lots of food!!! You have to tell them in advance if you don’t eat meat (which was substituted for us) or fish - which they could also probably substitute but there are loads of sea food or fishy things in those dishes. The breakfast is really fulfilling - miso soup, rice, fish, and like 12 little dishes. If you do get confused as to where to start then we were advised to eat following a triangle shape. There is a shrine right outside the window. Lots of cafes and shops around. A convenience shop is right next to it. In the evening there is also a little bar (entrance via the shop). The shopping street is just around the corner. The market and more luxurious shops are about 15min walk away. The metro station is about 8min away. Taxis are right in front of it.

I stayed at this hotel from December 18th to 20th, 2023 during a school trip to Mikuni Junior High School in Ogori City, Fukuoka Prefecture.At that time, they gave me delicious breakfast and dinner.It was really delicious!I've had some great memories since people came to school because they missed it!Thank you very much.They are already in their third year of junior high school, so we are all preparing for entrance exams.Although there are a lot of people (about 260?), everyone is doing their best.m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)mThank you so much!

It's in front of Kyoto City Hall and the subway station. Old reviews say it's old, but it looks like it was recently renovated. Everything was clean.
