Very beautiful place to stay when visiting Kyoto. The room was bigger than most of the hotel rooms we’ve seen in our trip. It was very clean and comfortable, free coffee available, free toiletries. They also have a coin washing machine at the hotel that you can use. Everything was perfect.

It's not possible to open the window and get some fresh air. There was no wardrobe to put clothes or bags to (there were some hooks with hangers on the wall though).

The location is perfect, the room is nice, quiet and clean.

Our favourite hotel of our Japan stay. The staff were amazing, friendly, polite and super helpful at every step, holding our luggage for us when needed and calling us a taxi on the way out. The room was beautiful, good size and had everything we needed. Incredible location, minutes from the Gion Mitsuri festival that we were lucky to see, but still quiet and separate from the noise. Great spot to go to explore Gion, come back for a shower after the summer heat, then get back out to explore some more. 7 Eleven store was minutes away and became a staple for our stay.

Only one washer/dryer for the entire hotel.

Great location; close to transit, the market, and restaurants. The room felt bigger than typical hotel rooms. Bathroom was very spacious. Shelf space, number of power plugs, cleanliness of room and hotel were all wonderful positives.

A beautiful boutique hotel in an amazing location - who would not love to wander in the surrounding streets and get back to this kyo-machiya building for rest after an amazing day in Kyoto? The room is spacious, comfortable and overlooked the amazing Nakagyo streets. The smell in the lobby always welcomed us nicely. Loved the extras and coffee in the room, too.

The room and bed were too small for 2 adults and a child , was my fault for booking a one bedroom room.

Close to train station, 7-11, temples, restaurants, beautiful quiet street, we often saw geisha women walking down the street at night, close to the river which was relaxing.

Great location

Just know that daily housekeeping for a full room refresh is not available here. Not a problem for me but others may not feel the same.

Lovely spot, well priced, nice staff. Would stay here again.

The room was small which is typical for Japanese hotels.

Clean rooms, excellent location! Staff helped us ship our luggage. There is a washer in the lobby, but we used the washer at a self service laundromat which was excellent and less than a block away. There are many small restaurants within minutes of the hotel. The location near the river is perfect.

The one washing machine was always busy, but we found a self-laundry right around the corner. It could use some more hanging areas for clothing or an iron to press out the wrinkles.

I liked that it was very quiet, extremely clean, and it provided comfortable relaxation after a wonderful day of sightseeing.

Best hotel of our trip to Japan – highly recommended! We stayed in many hotels during our trip to Japan, but this was definitely the best! If I return to Kyoto, I would absolutely stay here again. The rooms are beautiful, very well organized, and spotlessly clean. The front desk staff were incredibly kind and always available to help with anything we needed. There’s a washing machine and dryer available (for a fee), and a free water dispenser which was super convenient. The location was perfect – just 800 meters from Gion and Nishiki Market, and about 1.2 km walking distance to Kiyomizudera. You can leave your luggage at the hotel both before check-in and after check-out. The bus and train stations are also very close by. Everything is within walking distance, yet it’s incredibly quiet at night, and the beds are very comfortable. Truly an excellent hotel, and I highly, highly recommend it.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. Our room was as new and very clean and had enough space for our big suitcases. The train, convenience stores, plenty of restaurants and bars are close by. Many sightseeing attractions are easy to reach by foot. Beautiful neighborhood.

Very friendly and helpful staff, comfy room and great location. In Gion but away from the busy streets. I had a lovely time staying here.

No complaints!

This hotel was clean, comfortable, and overall a great stay for our days in Kyoto. The room is a typical size for Japan but we were able to fit comfortably with two adults and one large suitcase. It's on a quieter street within minutes of the busy Pontocho Alley with tons of food and bar options. Also really close to multiple subway stops so it was easy to get around.

Great hotel. Very comfortable beds, big room compare to Japan. Great location, but still quiet. Nice and helpful staff.

Very small room for two people. Better not bring a lot of luggage.

No breakfast available. We opted for the Doutor chain sandvich and coffee. Location was perfect, between the city center and Gion sights within walking distance and subway stop 50m away.

The staff were helpful and efficient. The room was spotless, modern, and well equipped. The location is superb, being walking distance to so many temples, restaurants and sites, as well as to public transit. A gem...

I know I got a basic room but it was quite small for people traveling with big bags as was our case after 3 weeks in Asia. We were unable to unpack unfortunately.

The staff was very attentive and kind at all times. The location is perfect for couples with a lot of restaurants and cafes around plus many landmarks in walking distance. Room was cozy and had it all except enough space.

Lovely place! Perfect location, everyone is super king and the facilities are great.
