Great hotel in very convenient area of Kyoto, however the beds and 1 pillow provided are very hard, so not very comfortable sleep. A pillowtop on the beds and second softer pillow would be nice. The room and bathroom itself are nice though.

Love the early 20th century style and low key vibe of this hotel! Everything we wanted to see was close by. Popular shopping, eating and drinking areas were within a 5-10 minute walk, but the noise did not follow us back to the hotel. Proximity to the canal was a wonderful amenity.

Stuart

A great choice in Kyoto
Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location for public transport, shopping and nightlife. The breakfast buffet was great, the hotel bar was a quiet refuge from the busier bars in the area. Their unlimited wine for an hour for 1000 yen was hard to refuse.
