This was my favorite hotel in Japan! The Onsen, rooftop bar, coffees/matcha, teas, and other amenities were AMAZING. I would love to stay here again.
4.7
Had an amazing stay. Onsen view was incredible. Staff were very friendly.
4.7
We cannot recommend this hotel enough. It was in an excellent location with lots to do in the area. Also very close to a station, so travel to other areas in Kyoto was extremely easy. The rooftop foot spa was amazing at the end of a long day. The staff were excellent, from check in to check out. Laundry room was easy to access and check in/check out was quick and seamless. This hotel is an excellent choice and should be considered if you visit Kyoto!!!
4.7
This place had a complimentary drink ticket for the rooftop bar and a very nice onsen to relax in. It was very close to everything and so many options within walking distance.
4.7
Very nice hotel with hot tub and rooftop bar.
4.7
Room is too small.
4.7
It's a lovely hotel, great value and excellent staff. I would stay there again if I were in Kyoto. Really loved the Onsen. Rooftop bar was so nice as was the complimentary first drink.
4.7
Value for price paid was underwhelming at this hotel. If you're looking for a traditional Japanese experience, this may work for you but we would've liked more amenities. As others mention, the rooms are VERY small by western standards. I was traveling with my mother and we did not feel the space was adequate to be comfortable in the room. The rooms may work better for couples or a single traveler but families should look elsewhere. Additionally, the hotel lacks meaningful lounge / shared space to compensate for the tiny rooms. I'd also note that the hotel only provides a traditional Japanese breakfast, whereas most other hotels we stayed (at this price point) offered a Japanese and western breakfast option. The main selling point for the hotel is the onsen, which we did not realize does not allow bathing suits so bathers must be nude. Perhaps this was poor research on our part, but my mother wasn't comfortable so she didn't use the hotel's primary amenity. The location is very central which is great but concierge advice on restaurants was underwhelming and no room service was available when we would have liked to order to the room. We took the chance on the boutique hotel but would have preferred amenities and room size of a larger chain hotel.

The hot spring and roof top view is good, staff is friendly
4.7
The roof top area for eating breakfast was a wonderful way to start your day while the free evening drink and foot bath was relaxing after a day of touring Kyoto.The bento breakfast boxes were excellent. The Onsen baths were great with one having a view of the mountains where you could see sunrise. Staff were excellent and committed to ensuring guests have a wonderful experience. Great value.
4.7
We absolutely loved this hotel! The facilities were beautiful with amazing onsens and lounge with free drinks on the 9th floor. The onsen overlooks the city views which are beautiful especially at night. There is also a rooftop bar with fire pits and comfortable seating. The staff were helpful and attentive. The rooms were small but eloquently decorated and extremely comfortable. We give this hotel 5 stars and hope to return one day!
4.7
Beautiful hotel in great location. The public baths and roof top terrace with amazing views (and foot bath) are lovely. The staff are very attentive.
4.7
Loved this hotel! Having the foot bath on the roof after long days of walking complete with drink service made the experience that much better. I would absolutely stay here again—can't recommend it enough!
4.7
Enjoyed the rooftop hot water foot spa and daily complimentary drink after walking miles each day.
Hotel is perfectly located for downtown Kyoto just across the river from Gion.
Rail stations within a few minutes walk.
Great staff.
4.7
A truly beautiful hotel. The staff was excellent and had many English speakers, which helped me greatly. The onsens were always in great shape. The hot foot bath on the rooftop was a lifesaver at the end of each day exploring Kyoto.
The room rate was very reasonable, about $125 USD/night. For a comparable hotel in my area of the US, you'd be looking at $300+/night.
4.7
The onsen was amazing especially the one with views over Kyoto.
The bedroom was a bit cramped with one side of the bed being against the wall - not ideal for the person sleeping on that side.
Do be aware of the need to book restaurants for supper - the first night we had to resort to a Family mart!
4.7
Overall, we did not enjoy our stay here. The rooms are insanely small - even compared to only the hotels we stayed at in Japan this place is very very very small. I cannot stress enough how small the room is - we had to walk sideways to get around the room, and my wife had to climb over me to get off the bed. Also, the rooftop foot bath is a scam. You don't get acces to it during the evenings because it is a "bar" and you have to buy a drink to be up there (which is not stated anywhere on Hotels.com/Expedia or the hotel website). This should not be considered a hotel amenity when the one time you'd want to use it (in the evenings after a long day out) you are not allowed to. The location is good - but it is a bit annoying to get to since there is no direct train from Kyoto station. The staff members we spoke to were rude and unkind overall.
4.7
Love the rooftop, hot foot bath and the views . The open air onsen was excellent. Hassles free check in and check out, staff were very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is close to Kyoto-Kawaramachi subway (not covered by JR pass) station, Gion district , Nishiki Market, Kiyomizu temple and the upmarket shopping. We will definitely come back again….
4.7
Very nice location
4.7
Excellent location
4.7
Could not have asked for a better place to stay! Perfect location, amazing rooms, comfortable beds, wonderful staff, and incredible amenities. The rooftop bar with foot bath and the onsens are absolutely what you need to recharge at the end of the day. This will be the only place I stay in Kyoto from now on. Thanks again to all of the staff!!
4.7
Great location but very little amenities on property Same breakfast bento 4 days in a row
4.7
The most comfortable bed on our trip to japan, good pillows and bedding. small room but we were barely in there. You can walk to all the local temples and good restaurants and close to multiple train lines which comes in handle getting around Kyoto. At the end of the night the foot bath on the rooftop terrace is very nice, would stay again!!
4.7
Fantastic hotel. 5 minute walk to Gion close to shops and restaurants. Very helpful and friendly staff. Yaukata included to use freely round the hotel. Fantastic roof top bar with great views and brilliant onsen.
4.7
We loved staying at this hotel. It was at a super convenient location right next to Nishiki market and Gion with lots of great restaurant and bars. It's also close to 2 metro stops connecting you to different lines. I loved walking the bridge at night and taking in the lovely view of Kyoto. The upstairs terrace has a great view of the city as well as beautiful sunrise views. I loved using the onsen after a long day of walking, not to mention the free coffee and drinks amenities. The rooms are small but that's the same for everywhere in Japan. We would definitely stay here again if given the chance!
4.7
Friendly staff, great location, clean property, great amenities. This hotel is new and the rooms feel clean. While small by western standards, rooms are laid out to maximize space and are very comfortable. The rooftop terrace and free coffee/snack station are nice extra amenities. The onsen is a great way to relax before or after a day of sightseeing. In the heart of great restaurants and bars, adjacent to multiple transit options. I can’t recommend this place enough.
4.7
Service and staff were great. It was a little confusing to get to from the train station but overall lovely experience. Would book again.
4.7
The roof top was amazing.
At the end of busy day, we always came up to the roof to rest our feet. It was a perfect ending to the lovely day. Also the location is perfect as well.
4.7
Wonderful hotel fully deserving its 5 star rating. Property is beautiful and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The amenities were on a different level - foot bath, happy hour, free ice cream, and onsen. The rooms are also beautiful and comfortable. It’s a short walk from Pontocho street, the Gion area, Nishiki Market, and the main shopping strip.
4.7
The roof top is great. Though, they do require that you buy a drink if it is during the bar hours. The coffee machine and ice cream in the lobby was nice. Great value.
4.7
Everything was perfect
4.7
Excellent location with its own onsen. Staff are all very responsive and fast!
4.7
Amazing staff. Good room. Free drink tickets, access to onsen, and rooftop was great to see views and soak feet.
4.7
Amazing location. Great value. Very clean. Small rooms but not a concern for the price and location. Beautiful views and nice Onsen baths.
4.7
We loved the hotel and staff. Location was exactly what we wanted. Walking distance to everything.
4.7
Very nice and perfectly located hotel. It is right in the heart of Kyoto. There are many shops, dinning options, bars, pachinko and so much more to do in the surrounding area. It is also a short walk from Gion. We did not try the public bath. But the rooftop terrace was breathtaking and a great place to start your morning. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Kyoto.
4.7
Great place to stay with easy transport links, onsen, and a bar with foot baths on the roof terrace!
4.7
Great hotel. Perfect location close to everything. A lot of extras like the Onsen, the terrace and coffee machine at the lobby. They provide coin-operated washing machine which is super useful (700 yen for 1 load and 1hr drying). If I return to Kyoto, it will be to this one for sure.
4.7
This hotel has very friendly staffs
Location is perfect
Smart TV in the room
The rooftop bar is wonderful
I will definitely recommend this to others
4.7
Loved it! Very well designed hotel. Close to everything. We changed up our itinerary to stay another night. Rooms are tiny but cute and clean. Roof top terrace was a great place to relax after walking around Kyoto all day.
