breakfast is not cheap. but it is very traditional and something you must experience. The atmosphere and the quality of the ingredients at breakfast are truly wonderful. The hotel is very close to the metro, but the metro network in Kyoto directs you to the main station anyway. The rooms are clean, you can take photos in the traditional area at the entrance with the kimonos they give you.

Lovely Hotel. Nice design. Quiet and love the onsen bath spa.

Small things - we would have liked a chair in the room in addition to the loveseat.

We were pleased with the location - on a small quiet street but steps away from a major road with restaurants, convenience store, and taxis. The hotel is centrally located near Nishiki Market and Nijo Castle. The staff is both professional and friendly. All speak some English, and some are quite fluent. They will make reservations and arrangements for you. The rooms are modern and comfortable, and the spa is very nice.

We had an amazing experience. The room is beautiful and the property is so calming. The staff was so helpful, my sister left behind some things and they were lovely enough to mail it to our Airbnb. We are definitely coming back next year.

The style of the property with an old main building and new rooms was awesome. Also very good laundry room. I was also able to go to the onsen even though I have tattoos.

Fabulously friendly staff and beautiful hotel with traditional front rooms. Highly recommended.

Laundry room is too small. Don’t like the room door swing outside. Some corners in the room have not been vacuumed, including the AC intake grill.

I love the unique machiya house at the front that can be experienced by guests as breakfast and lounge areas. Oh and the library upstairs too!

Shower ventilation could be boosted a bit.

Room was big enough. Onsen was a real treat after a day out exploring. Loved the self-serve common areas like the bar and the library room.

The only small complaints I have is that the bed was quite firm, more than we are used to, so it wasn't as comfortable for us as it could have been. There are also a lot of low beams of timber throughout the hotel, so if you are over 6 foot (180cm) you will need to duck down on the way in or out.

I loved the old style Japanese Rokkaku aesthetic. The staff were very friendly. The hotel was spotlessly clean. The onsen facilities were amazing, and very relaxing. I will miss them very much. Wearing the robe/kimono felt very Japanese, and it's a nice touch.

The location, the service, the Onsen, the breakfeast

No complaints other than I prefer the Toto Washlet bidet system to the INAX bidet system they use.

A great hotel with good sized, comfortable rooms in a fantastic location. The entrance lounge area feels very traditional. The hotel bath facilities were great (divided by gender / no swimsuits).

The room felt plenty big to me, great bathtub and I went to the onsen every night. Loved breakfast as well. Also room was so dark and hotel was very quiet.

Loved the old Japanese look of the building from outside. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The location was great for visiting the whole city, either by foot or by train. There are also a lot of great little restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Our favourite thing about staying here were the private baths which were great to use at the end of a very busy day of seeing the city.

The hotel could have been just a few blocks closer to GION in the downtown area. But this is only a minor observation. The walk into town was nice every time.

The in-house onsen/spa was spectacular to have and was a bonus for us. We didn’t do breakfast or dinner because Kyoto is a living restaurant. The hotel is located about 20 minutes walk from the main sites, but everything along the way is also worth seeing. The room was spacious.
