    complimentary snacks
    limited breakfast options

    The hotel features a fantastic lounge area with

    complimentary snacks and beverages which made for a delightful afternoon retreat after a day of sightseeing. The tranquility of the hotel was a lovely contrast to the busyness of Kyoto, although the breakfast options could be more appealing to western tastes.

    soundproof walls
    comfortable stay
    noisy elevator

    The walls did an impressive job of soundproofing.

    The elevator emitted a constant beep whenever it passed each floor, creating an annoying disturbance for rooms closer to it. Additionally, the carpets had noticeable stubborn stains despite cleaning attempts, which could detract from the overall impression of cleanliness.

    central location
    friendly staff

    perfect central spot for exploring kyoto's top sights

    During my stay, I loved the convenience of being just a 10-minute walk to Nishiki Market, and with the subway only 3 minutes away, it made hopping around the city a breeze. plus, the included lounge for snacks and drinks was a lovely bonus after long days of walking around!

    fantastic lounge
    quiet reading nook
    overpriced breakfast

    I really enjoyed my time there! The lounge was fantastic for grabbing snacks after a day of exploring, and I loved how relaxed I felt in the quiet reading nook. Just a heads up, the breakfast was a bit overpriced for what you got, but overall, it was a great stay! 😊

    great stay but some improvements needed

    The staff were attentive and quick to assist whenever we required anything. We loved the lounge area, which provided complimentary snacks and drinks, a perfect way to unwind after exploring. The location is superb, just a short stroll from Nishiki Market, making our days much easier. Additionally, the calming atmosphere of the hotel helped us relax after busy days.

    However, the tea selection in the lounge could use an update.

    Just a solid selection for a weekend trip in Kyoto with great value for money. I appreciated the laundry facilities. having a washing machine was super convenient after a long day exploring. Check out the neighborhood markets for some local snacks and experiences.

    The hotel exudes a calming atmosphere with immaculate cleanliness and beautifully designed spaces. The comfortable beds and luxurious bathroom surpassed our expectations. We appreciated the complimentary drinks and snacks in the lounge, adding a lovely touch to our stay! However, tea availability around the clock would be a nice improvement.

    spacious twin room
    complimentary snacks
    occasional noise
    limited breakfast options
    common area disruptions

    Exceptional comfort defined our stay. The spacious, beautifully decorated twin room featured modern decor and a well-equipped shower room. Appreciating the complimentary snacks and drinks in the second-floor lounge made afternoons delightful. Quick access to local eateries and a nearby metro station ensured convenient exploration. Minor drawbacks included occasional noise from common areas and limited breakfast options, but these did not overshadow the experience.
