We did not have the hotel breakfast, but it was good to know ot was on offer daily incase we needed it. Staff were friendly and helpful. Drinks & tea were offered to guests daily as well as a charm making experience. Self-service check in and out created a more streamlined experience (although there was some trouble finding our booking upon check-in, that was quickly resolved.) The self-service amenities counter was well-appointed with so many useful items like coffee and soap as well as more indulgent items like face masks and hair oil. Located a 10 minute walk from Kyoto station, it was very convenient, although a bit noisy at times. Would stay again!

This hotel was great! I would definitely recommend staying here if you're traveling to Kyoto. It was a 5 minute walk from the train station and there was a bus stop directly across the street. Furthermore, the staff were incredible and the hotel was always clean. It felt amazing coming back to the hotel after a long day sightseeing or shopping. The entry way smelled great and the complimentary drinks were a nice perk.

Solo traveller - a great option

An ideal stay in Kyoto, the hotel is just a short walk from the station. The staff were attentive and friendly; there were little treats in the afternoon including an ice-cream machine as well as free evening drinks. My room was comfortable and I took advantage of the laundry services available. Would definitely recommend staying here.
