monette.partnerNov 29, 2024 Extremely clean and modern facility with a fantastic and kind staff. This was a really great facility and I will definitely be staying here again.
Highly recommended family-friendly room
It was a pleasant stay; cleverly designed room to give a blend of English and Japanese styles with ample of space to roam for family of 4. Although location is further away from the tourist attractions, the hotel’s room was beautiful and very well-kept. Staffs were kind and genuinely welcoming (even hand-written welcome and goodbye cards!). My 2 young sons asked why did we only stay for 1 night when we were checking out.
widiya.family_with_childrenNov 04, 2024 The location is walkable to site seeing and the service is amazing. All their staff are helpful and friendly. Thank you!
detlef.partnerOct 17, 2024 The room was very large, comfortable and clean, with two king size beds and sitting, cooking area. Friendly staff. Breakfast was included in restaurant downstairs but there weren't many options. About a ten minute easy walk to all the sites and train station.
An Amazing and Relaxing Stay in Kyoto
Our family of 3 stayed in a total of 5 different accommodations during our trip to Japan. This hotel was our unanimous favorite. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was great for our needs (We wanted to be near the bamboo forest and the quiet area of Kyoto). The included breakfast is in a cafe that is below the rooms. This cafe had great food and drinks and also very friendly staff.
The room was very large and spacious. It had 3 separate areas for toilet, shower/wet room, and sink / mirror. Our view of the mountains and local area was amazing as well.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone that is staying in Kyoto.
yukiko.family_with_childrenJul 04, 2024 No elevator : (
jinsong.familyJun 29, 2024 Great location for Arashiyama sightseeing, with a nearby bus station that can be used for connecting (no transfer needed) to Kyoto station or Kiuomizu-dela. Room is spacious and clean, toilet and shower/bathroom are very comfortable. Reason for 4 stars instead of 5: design for the beds is suboptimal- the wooden base/legs are short (so the bed is too low for me) and the corners are protruding (easy to kick them when you walk around and it is very painful if you kick). Another minor thing is the accessibility to the breakfast restaurant in downstairs -it would be nicer if it can be accessed from inside the building or through a covered entrance especially in rainy weather.
Spacious and clean room with two beds and mini kitchen area. Less than 10 minute walk from the Arashiyama train station and about 25 minute walk to bamboo forest. Property also has bikes available so we rode bikes to the train station by the bamboo forest and walked over. Breakfast was included and decent. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Need to hop on a train to get in order to get to Nishiki market and Pontocho area.
Nice little hotel close to tourist area
Location was ideal, close to shops and restaurants. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is no elevator available. The rooms are small and storage is limited. Also, not many power outlets to charge phones. Breakfast was included and it was fantastic. By far the best breakfasts we had during our vacations. Getting taxis and Uber was cumbersome. Overall it was a good experience. I would recommend it.
Great hotel. Loved our stay there!
The hotel provides such a great service from the day we check-in until the day we check-out. We loved the personal touch that the staffs showed throughout our stay. This is a great hotel to stay when you want to rest. The rooftop is a great addition as you can see the stars when the sky is clear. It's also a perfect base if you want to explore Arashiyama area early in the morning.
paula.partnerMay 05, 2024 We loved it!
What a great hotel - staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Breakfast included in the restaurant downstairs was excellent, loved the gourmet waffles!
And the room .. wow. It was very spacious and the layout and decor were beautifully minimalist. Also had sliding glass doors that opened onto a balcony.
We also enjoyed the rooftop patio with couches, tent and great views.
Very convenient to walk to from station and as easy walk to bridge/river.
I would gladly stay here again … absolutely loved it!!
Relaxing and lovely place.
Beautiful, functional design in excellent walkable location to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest path.
liliana.familyDec 30, 2023 Excellent
The staff and location are amazing!
Quiet and spacious room, the only thing that bother me was there was no elevator in the hotel. So we had to walk 3 floors to our room, as far as baggages, no worry, the friendly staff will help. Will choose to return.
melissa.familyJun 28, 2023 This was our favorite hotel in 10 days around Japan. The room is spacious, super clean, modern and very comfortable. We loved being able to walk to the wonderful Arashiyama sites when the day tourists left. We had a beautiful view of the mountains and the staff is so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed free access to cold water bottles and coffee/tea and a delicious multi choice western style breakfast. The rooftop deck was enjoyable too. The beds are super comfortable.
This is a great option to be close to nature and away from busy Kyoto downtown.
aaron r.family_with_childrenJun 19, 2023 I really like the boutique, upmarket, relaxing and comfortable environment of the entire property. I feel so relaxed every day when I am here, away from all the crowds.
Really enjoyed our family room, small hotel but nothing short of a major hotel. Bathroom was better than big hotels, only lacked elevators that was not a issue for us.
This was a great location with outstanding staff. The room was huge and very comfortable. Lots of restaurants, shops and attractions all within walking distance. The breakfast was plentiful and very delicious.
