Stayed one night with my family of 3. We loved the property and the experience. My only minor issue is that there was on off-odor from the AC. We would stay again when coming back to Kyoto.

The staff was extremely polite and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. The rooms were very comfortable, although we needed 3-4 futons to make it soft enough. All in all a very pleasant experience.

Staff was very hospitable and greeted all their guests like family. They gave you a property tour of your room and ensured you understood all amenities on property. There is a public bath with an electric bath, soda bath and medicine bath that was amazing after a days tour. Fantastic! Please go for the four seasons. You have your own private garden and a larger space. Staff will prepare your futons on tatamis. This is a townhouse so you will hear a bit of footsteps above. Breakfast was included and included a variety of Asian and western fusions sandwiches. If you are very tall, might not be the greatest option as the ceiling height is low. The property is an original structure from 100 years ago renovated recently so it is very clean and has a traditional modern touch to it. We hope to be back soon. We stayed one night and it definitely was not enough.

The hospitality was outstanding! The staff are very friendly and the building is beautiful. Easy access to JR bus line and the subway. We lived all the food recommendations provided (we tried 4 and all were hits). Everything is very clean and new, but with charm. We rented their bikes and it was fun and easy to do. Breakfast is very good with lots of options. Will absolutely stay here again in the future.
