Onsite self laundry and private onsen were nice. Rooms were spacious and having a kitchen was useful for our family. Great location to walk all over Gion and easy access to Sanjo train station. Hotel was renovated recently and very clean. Luggage storage and free umbrella use were nice added amentities.

The location was perfect, walking distance from key attractions. The mini apartment was very clean and functional. The kitchen had everything you need for breakfast or a light meal. Staff was present every morning and was very helpful. Definitely I would recommend it.

The location was just perfect for us! 10-15 minute walk to bars, restaurants,shops and Nishiki market. Staff was super helpful, especially Vincent, as checking in and out was done virtually and could be a bit confusing at times. Laundry facilities were appreciated! Perfect little kitchen with everything you need.

If you need space, this is the place. We enjoyed the location as well as the space that gave us ample room to relax. Walkable to everything we wanted to enjoy in the Kyoto area. Washer and dryer was really hard to understand and it took a full 24hours to do one load. Stovetop did not work, and we didn't realize that until after we bought eggs, bread, butter, etc.

Nice hotel room with a kitchen. It was very close to the Gion district and easy to access the Sanjo train station. We traveled as a family with 2 young children. The place can feel small, but Ok for a short stay.

We stayed 4 nights. Location was great but since we stayed less than 6 nights they didn’t do room service which was sort of a let down. Having to wash your towels and stack bags of garbage was not the greatest but it’s a limited staffed counter with remote check in/check out access so just be prepared with that in mind. There was one staff at the counter in the mornings but we didn’t have much interaction with him. Oh, and be prepared for the loads of laundry to take several hours to complete. Overall a good place to stay.

Great location in Gion and good sized flat. Went with my 3 teenaged children and the adults had our own separate room in the flat. It is a bit tight with three teenagers but still a nice place, good facilities, and excellent location. It is a mostly digital check in so pay attention to directions before you arrive.

Excellent hotel! Modern, tons of amenities and easy in and out. Love the keyless entry and the rooms are fairly spacious and include a washer/ dryer combo. Really nice spa/ sauna facility to rent for private rental at a very reasonable rate. Hotel is located within walking distance to all of the action but on the fringe of it so it’s not noisy. Great decor and lots of USB ports , microwave, large fridge, cookware etc… Would definitely stay here again and we loved Kyoto!!

It’s very nice and roomy, easy to check in with a friendly front desk, you will need a code which they emailed ahead of time to check in, when arrived we have been told that we need to pay 300 yen per person per day for tax to be paid at check in which seems to be pretty common in Japan. You will need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste, there is a family mart just beside the hotel, about 15 mins walk to the central city, bed are on the smaller size but comfortable,overall it’s a great stay.
