Overall good stay
Centrally located near Nijo castle. Very comfortable stay. They do not have in hotel laundry facilities. They do offer laundry service but of course that is at a premium price. I was able to find a laundromat close by. Other than that everything else was great. The food was subpar at their restaurant. I wouldn’t eat there.

Great location to enjoy a quiet neighborhood with local coffee and shopping but only a ten minute walk to nearest train station. Rooms are spacious and staff was very kind and helpful, would recommend this property to anyone travelling to the area.

Fall trip to Kyoto
Stayed at the property for 5 nights. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. The best thing about this hotel is its location. The bus routes u are most likely to take as a tourist pass within 100m of this hotel, so getting around is a breeze.

The room design was excellent and the best we stayed in during our trip to Japan. The room was very user-friendly and comfortable. The hotel is in a lovely neighborhood that is less busy than the area near the train station.

The hotel is very nice, good room size to Japan, clean and updated. But not well located, took some blocks to the station. Very local neighborhood so not to much to do. Could use a restaurant to assist as there is no much around.
