8.7Verified guest“Stylish place in a fantastic spot for the covered shopping arcades, with a great breakfast. The single room impressed me, and the staff – including the manager – were genuinely friendly.”
8.7Verified guest“The front desk team was efficient and spoke good English. Everything felt clean, new, and upscale. Location was excellent – a short taxi ride from Kyoto Station, or a 3-minute walk from Sanjo subway station. A big mall sits just down the block, and there's a well-regarded sushi place across the street.”

8.7Verified guest“Solid hotel with strong Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, and helpful staff. I'll never forget how they tracked down my lost earring on my first visit. Great for a city trip.”

8.7Verified guest“The decor is classy and modern. We watched the Gion Matsuri parade right from the main road by the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful – they received a package for me and had it waiting in my room. When we had to switch rooms, they offered to move our packed luggage, making the change effortless.”
