Recently, the management changed at this hotel and the new management has been extremely friendly and helpful, going out of their way to help us and make sure we had a pleasant stay. Some of the other reviews on the site are from before the recent change in management. The front desk is staffed every day beginning at eleven, through 8 of the evening, which makes things more convenient in case you need to leave a suitcase while you go out to sightsee. During the hours the desk is not open, there is a WhatsApp number the staff can be reached at, and they were quick to respond even before the hours the desk is staffed. I stayed at this hotel with my mom. It is in good condition and clean, and our room was very spacious. This hotel would be especially good for families or possibly friends traveling together because there are two large beds in the rooms, a kitchen area (with a decent sized refrigerator, microwave, range, and hot water pot), a washer, and a table to have meals at. I also think it would be especially suited for longer stays and people with special dietary needs (vegetarians or families with small children), since making a light breakfast or simple pasta meal here would be very easy. Honestly, this feels like a more like a mini apartment than a hotel room to me. The property is two blocks from a supermarket and within walking distance of Teramachi, with its multitude of restaurants and shops. In addition, it is right in front of a bus that goes to Kyoto Station and a subway line. It is also within walking distance to Gion. I think this is one of the best locations to stay for several days in Kyoto since some other tourist areas here are quite out of the way and don't have as many options for food, shopping, or transportation as this location does. Finally, I felt that the price of the hotel was very reasonable given everything it has to offer. I would definitely stay here again next time I am in Kyoto.

Amazing!! Everything is perfect! Size of the room is huge. Location ideal. Very new, clean. Free beverages and sweets. Hotel invited Geisha san when we were in. We also could admire gozan- dai from the window of the lobby on the 8 floor. For me it is the ideal place in Kyoto. Thank you everyone from the hotel for our amazing stay.

    I loved it!

    I loved it! Please get yourself to where the "Keage" subway station street entrance is. It is a 19th century brick structure. It took me a while to find the beginning of this walk--from Nanzen-Ji Temple > Kotoku-an > Nanzen-Ji Oku-no-in >Eikan-Do >Path of Philosophy >Honen-in then Ginkaku-Ji. This was a highlight of my month in Japan.

    Going during the Sakura bloom is the best way to enjoy this...

    Going during the Sakura bloom is the best way to enjoy this place. It can be packed of people, but the walk is long so you'll be able to enjoy it. You can see Koi fish in the river and there are some small local shops you should visit to get some food and/or souvenirs.
