This hotel was amazing. The staff were very accommodating from the start to the finish. Great location right near many of the temples and the Philosophers path. Right next to the subway station so easy to get around.

Solo stay

Lovely hotel in a quieter part of Kyoto but very close to amenities and to various attractions including Heian Jingu Shrine, Yasaka Shrine. Also in walking distance to Gion. Reception staff are friendly, the room and bathroom are a good size and are clean/well-maintained They have a laundry room which is really helpful The hotel is also 2 minutes from the Higashiyama metro station and about 10 minutes from Sanjo station so also conveniently placed for any day trips Would definitely recommend staying here while in Kyoto, I had a really comfortable stay - thank you!
