I truly loved staying at this hotel. The Japanese culture thrived throughout the entrance, hallways, and in our room. One of my favorite things is that there is a washer and dryer! We absolutely loved the cookies that were in our room and recommend to buy some at the cookie factory down the road from the hotel. I would most definitely stay here again.

This was a beautiful, well-run hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, the staff were very friendly and the Japanese breakfast was incredible. I highly recommend it.
Note that though the hotel is only a 15min walk to many of the touristy sites, the area is very residential and we were turned away from several of the nearby restaurants who didn’t want foreigners there. We had to walk back to the tourist areas for dinner. This was the one negative of our stay. However, that is out of the hotel’s control.

The facilities are spotless and comfortable. Really quite a fine. If the there is any negatives, it would be the proximity to a line to get to Kyoto Station. Easy bus line to Gion. I would book again.
