The location of this hotel is incredible to subway and central Kyoto. The room is so spacious, especially compared to our rooms in Tokyo. The bed was the most comfortable we had in Japan. Staff were very kind and helpful, especially with helping to ship our bags to our next hotel. This is a property I will absolutely recommend to anyone I know coming to Kyoto.
Did feel a bit dated in some places.

Breakfast is okay. Japanese breakfast was very good; western breakfast was more Japanese. Needed to eat in the room because the breakfast area is very limited. This was okay because we had a large room with a very nice art deco table overlooking the river.

The property is perfectly located along the river in the gion district- it’s much quieter along the river and our kids loved playing down by it and watching all the animal life! Walking distance from a million wonderful food options and coffee shops and the staff was so helpful and kind. It’s truly felt luxurious! The bath and the beds were otherworldly and it felt like you were just being pampered at every step. We loved the comfortable cloud sleeping and are missing it already!

This was an adorable boutique hotel in a fantastic location. It was quiet, but still very close to everything.
I don't think the breakfast was worth it. Neither the Japanese nor the Western breakfasts suited my tastes.

This was the most gorgeous hotel room I've ever stayed in. The lighting, the gorgeous laquerware, the bathroom!! Every imaginable sundry item provided. I felt like "this is how gazillionaires live." At a price I could afford! Location was central to everything, close to the subway, the staff was super friendly and helpful. I never wanted to leave.
I couldn't go out on the balcony, probably for safety reasons.
