Reviews and Ratings

Insights and feedback shared by past guests
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the hotel's excellent location in Gion, within walking distance of Kiyomizu-dera and other Kyoto sights, as well as its modern and clean design. The spacious rooms feature comfortable beds, Nespresso machines, and often include thoughtful touches like yukata robes and Japanese tea service. The shared bath area (onsen) is a highlight for many, offering a relaxing experience and garden views, though some guests have found it to be on the smaller side. A free shuttle to Kyoto station and an extensive breakfast buffet add to the convenience and value.

mixed feelings about the stay.

cramped restaurant limited breakfast variety
the location was acceptable, close to several attractions.
The breakfast was not well-managed. The restaurant felt cramped, forcing guests into close proximity. it lacked the variety expected for a hotel of this caliber. furthermore, the promised lounge access was a disappointment. It barely accommodated a fraction of the guests, forcing many to seek seating elsewhere.

overpriced and UNDERWHELMING

small bath limited lounge
I found some things to be quite disappointing. THE supposed lounge was a joke. There were hardly any snacks or drinks available, ESPECIALLY considering how much i paid for the room. The bath was small and nothing special. For what they charge, you'd think they could include a sauna. Honestly, i expected more.
