Lovely hotel in a quieter part of Kyoto but very close to amenities and to various attractions including Heian Jingu Shrine, Yasaka Shrine. Also in walking distance to Gion. Reception staff are friendly, the room and bathroom are a good size and are clean/well-maintained They have a laundry room which is really helpful The hotel is also 2 minutes from the Higashiyama metro station and about 10 minutes from Sanjo station so also conveniently placed for any day trips Would definitely recommend staying here while in Kyoto, I had a really comfortable stay - thank you!

The place is nice and clean. However, the room we stayed in was quite small for a family of four, especially the beds. It was a little cramped, even though we only stayed for one night.

電子レンジがありがたい！ 掃除が入らないのでゴミ箱をいっぱいになったら部屋の前に出さなきゃいけないのがちょっと申し訳なかった、、いつ変える見回りが来るのかわかってたらもっと気楽かもしれません！ランドリーつかわせていただきました！浴室の空調がかなり色々調整できるのでランドリーの乾燥はいらないかも、くらいすごく便利でした！

新しいホテルで設備や内装はたいへんきれいです。 東山駅から歩いて2-3分ですが、白川沿いの静かな環境に立地します。 眺望は、私の宿泊した部屋からはありませんでした。 水圧が低く、バスタブにお湯をためるためにすごく時間がかかりました。
