Everything was great here! Just a heads up, there’s a ¥2,000 fee due upon arrival (it caught me off guard). However, the staff is fantastic, just like this beautiful city.

Great hotel in a cozy area

Great calm location away from the busy tourist areas of Kyoto, very charming area with nice little shops, places to eat and coffee to enjoy. Staff is very friendly and help, the cafe at the hotel itself is great and has friendly prices too, there’s great coffee available (you have to and it yourself) freely in the skate kitchen. Would definitely stay here again
