The rooms were awesome - clean, minimalistic, well maintained and just adorable with a ryokan and local look and feel. Absolutely loved our stay here. The location was also perfect, close walk to Gion machi and yasaka shrine ( that place on full moon night was magical) and yet secluded enough to not feel super touristy. The room we booked had a fridge and coffee station but no microwave.

The hotel doesn't have any other facilities or areas to explore - not much garden or outdoor space, no restaurants, gym or spas, no business areas.

The location was great - it was convenient to trains and busses and within walking distance of the main museum area. The staff was pleasant and helpful, especially when helping us send our luggage to Haneda airport. The service area with two coin washer / dryer machines, a microwave, chilled filtered water, and ice was very nice. The rooms are very large and could easily work for a family of 3-4.

There were some minor issues, but nothing serious. There weren't many electrical outlets for the size of the room. The windows cannot be opened and were frosted, which was a bit odd; our first floor rooms were very dark but honestly we probably slept better because of the lack of light. The Booking.com listing made it sound like our rooms would have 2 twin beds + futons, but actually the futons are kept locked up unless there are more than two people staying in the room.

The location was very convenient with the Gion District and Yasaka shrine just a 20min walk. 5min walk gets you to kamo river which is beautiful for a stroll at any time of the day or night. The room itself was very clean and a reasonable size. The hotel had a coin operated washing machine which was so handy. There was also a jug in the room which you can take to the first floor to fill with ice and water for free. Also a whole manga section. Free umbrellas to use if it rains and other amenities. The staff were also very welcoming and helpful.

The amazing feeling of being in a truly Japanese style house. Everything is super clean and the home is well located, being in a 15m walk distance from the center, the area is calm and you can easily sleep with an open window. The bathroom is very good. The sliding doors provide a nice atmosphere to the place.

You will easily hear your neighbors walking and the staff will leave a message note from neighbor complaints below, which is strange given the isolation is bad for everyone. They should be able to understand that. If you’re above 1.85, you will hit your head on the top of the sliding door. Not once.

Great value for our money. The staff were very friendly, even though there were some language barriers. The facilities included a washing machine, which was very easy to use. The location was very nice, within short walking distance of Kiyamachi. The room was spacious for two people and the shower and toilet were very clean.

The only thing which made me and my friend laugh was that we had requested a refill of the Nespresso pods since there were only two in the room when we arrived, but once the cleaning staff had cleaned the room, the refilled pods had been taken away. After we requested more from the reception desk, the staff who did not speak English very well made us understand that there was a limit to the pods we could request? Not a deal breaker, definitely, but just a bit odd.

The facility was well maintained. Convenient location too.

The service lacks temperature, and everything is measured by money. We informed the hotel in advance that we have a kid who will sleep with us in the room. But at check-in was told that because the kid is above 6 years old, additional 20,000 yen per night will need to be paid. On the last day, we checked out at 10:45, and was again charged 2,000 yen for the 45min delay. Even more amazing is that we saw the hotel staff debating with other guest on how many coffee capsules they have consumed and asked the guest to pay 150 yen per capsule… I guess rules are rules. But it would have made guests much more comfortable if some small flexibility can be extended.

Hotel is located two blocks north of the Gion District. it's away from the hustle and bustle of Gion and Pontocho in a quiet neighbourhood. Check in was fast, rooms clean and big. Hotel also has washing machines and dryers on premises. The famous temple Heian Jinyu is an 8 min walk away, as is the Kyoto City Zoo. 18 min away is the Nanzen Ji Temple. These places are less crowded and yet very beautiful.

Not much to dislike. Toilets may be a bit small, but this is the case with most Japanese hotels.

This small boutique hotel was about a 5 minute walk from the Higashiyama subway stop. Beautiful rooms, spacious with a modern but temple style feel to the decor. Front desk staff were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I can't say enough of the size of the rooms! Our family room with 4 beds was about 650 sq ft. Great place, i was definitely stay here again.

There was no breakfast, and its in a bit of a quieter neighbourhood. A few minutes walk or subway ride to any shopping or restaurants.

There was a manga library. Room was spacious. A lot of power outlets, beds were comfortable. Room was beautiful desing was better than in other hotels we went on our journey.

Noise from the outside usually was heard inside, it was much further away from any metro station than I imagine it to be. There also is a rule that they need to clean your room once in a while so, despite we didn't want any disturbance they cleaned the room from 11:00 to 17:00.

There is no breakfast available but there is a 7/11 nearby, as well as a Lawson. There is a vending machine for drinks in the lobby. It's not difficult to find food nearby, and there is a McDonald's down the street if Japanese on the first night is nervous-making.

I actually think everything was fine. It would have been nice to have a view from the window but I think my window faced another house anyway. The hotel was super clean and nice. The only downside was that my flight got changed and to stay an extra day the price jumped quite a bit, but I guess that might be due to the season?
