8.9Verified guest“The hotel's setting is peaceful and scenic, easily reachable by taxi, with a natural view from the outdoor tub. The family room with beds and a tatami area had all the basics we needed.”
8.9Verified guest“The room felt authentic and was fantastic, and the staff were great. The location offered easy access to Kyoto Station for a very reasonable fee, as well as to the forest and the town centre – yet it was pleasantly removed from the centre of Kyoto.”
8.9Verified guest“I really appreciated how quiet the hotel was and how attentive the staff were when we requested supper in our room. We stayed in a great-sized, brand-new room with beds, a nice tatami area, and good appliances, plus a garden outside. Everything was excellent – this would be our first choice again in Kyoto.”
8.9Verified guest“The renovated Japanese-style superior room was spacious and beautifully decorated, with a tatami area and a serene garden view. The communal bath was relaxing, and the delicious traditional breakfast set us up for the day. The staff's attentiveness made the stay even better.”
