Amazing property, especially for the price (near $100 USD per night). Great location for shopping, sight seeing and train. Very stylish room with extra seating and just enough room for luggage. Very friendly staff and nice lounge area. The men’s onsen was also very cool. Would not look anywhere else if I stay in Kyoto again in the future.

Hotel was alright, rooms super small, so small that there was nowhere to put your bag! The hotel itself was nice but not much to it, it’s in a great location. Overall it’s lacking that hotel feel and the rooms being so tiny made me look elsewhere on my return tomorrow. I don’t feel it was worth nearly 400 dollars a night.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel!!! The hotel is beautiful right from the start, as soon as you walk in! It’s in the most PERFECT location ever, walkable distance to train stations, several restaurants, shopping centers, convenient stores, everything!! You will not regret staying here, trust me. Will definitely be coming back to this beauty.

We recommend this property. It is modern and fun. This is right where you want to be to enjoy Kyoto. You have to accept the rooms are a.bit tight size wise however it was fun to be close together. They had a full bar but no food availability there however just steps outside the door were a dozen choices. There was a Buffett breakfast but we did not chose that option. We left feeling we would return and recommend.

The room was super tiny. Did not have enough space for two people to have their suitcases open on the ground. They only will clean your room once if you stay 4 days, which is a big problem given the tiny trashcan in the room. The bathroom also reeked of mold.

Great hotel right in the heart of the city. Super convenient to be able to walk to Nishiki market and the surrounding areas with ease each day. The staff was super friendly and the amenities were great. Even had an onsen in the basement to wind down after a busy day. Would certainly recommend!
