Lovely hotel; conveniently located
Great location. Lovely hotel steps from Marutamachi subway station. Good hub for buses also. Comfortable walk to sights (Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace).
Extremely clean. Quiet, spacious room. Wonderful breakfast. (The only alternative for breakfast in the area was MacDonalds; other restaurants opened much later.) Helpful staff.
Our family of 3 adults (2 parents & 1 adult child) had a room with 2 twin beds + bed sofa. Unfortunately, the bed sofa was too hard to sleep on, so our daughter used 1 twin bed while we shared the other twin bed. We had an extra duvet on each bed for extra padding. It was doable.

Large comfortable rooms with nice lighting and amenities
Loved it all EXCEPT that they never made our beds, which was off and annoying. They ask guests to leave a card on the bed if you don’t need to have your linens changed to conserve on water etc but they would tidy up (ish) and literally ignore just making the beds nice.
The rest was great though
And the breakfast was very good too

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and the breakfast in the morning is very very good. My only complaint is that there is no common area where you can sit. The lobby has one small seating area but I felt like the hotel needed something more where people can chill and use their laptop. I think there was a coworking space in the ground floor but it was closed off for everyone.

Staff are very nice and helpful and the rooms struck a good balance between “western” and more traditionalist Japanese aesthetics.

This hotel is new or very recently renovated.
Clean, big and quiet room. Great free breakfast, which saved us alot of time and money on our trip to beautiful and fun Kyoto. Hope to come back, and stay here too.

Lovely hotel in great spot
This was a great hotel and inexpensive in a quiet street right over the road from the railway station . Breakfasts were good and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Large room and very comfortable bed.
Plenty of affordable restaurants close by and convenient store next door.
