Highly recommended family-friendly room
It was a pleasant stay; cleverly designed room to give a blend of English and Japanese styles with ample of space to roam for family of 4. Although location is further away from the tourist attractions, the hotel’s room was beautiful and very well-kept. Staffs were kind and genuinely welcoming (even hand-written welcome and goodbye cards!). My 2 young sons asked why did we only stay for 1 night when we were checking out.
Wing Sheung, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very large, comfortable and clean, with two king size beds and sitting, cooking area. Friendly staff. Breakfast was included in restaurant downstairs but there weren't many options. About a ten minute easy walk to all the sites and train station.

Relaxing and lovely place.
Beautiful, functional design in excellent walkable location to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest path.

Walking distance to tourist areas, and amazingly spacious compared to similar properties for family of 4. Beds were comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel provides such a great service from the day we check-in until the day we check-out. We loved the personal touch that the staffs showed throughout our stay. This is a great hotel to stay when you want to rest. The rooftop is a great addition as you can see the stars when the sky is clear. It's also a perfect base if you want to explore Arashiyama area early in the morning.

Really enjoyed our family room, small hotel but nothing short of a major hotel. Bathroom was better than big hotels, only lacked elevators that was not a issue for us.

I strongly recommend this hotel. The staff is incredible, they will do their best to help and make sure your stay is as relaxed as possible. And the room design though, a mix of modern with traditional Japanese architecture,

Sindy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Spacious and clean room with two beds and mini kitchen area. Less than 10 minute walk from the Arashiyama train station and about 25 minute walk to bamboo forest. Property also has bikes available so we rode bikes to the train station by the bamboo forest and walked over. Breakfast was included and decent. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Need to hop on a train to get in order to get to Nishiki market and Pontocho area.
Richard, 2-night trip

Beautiful elegant oasis near Arashiyama
It was a fantastic place to stay in! Only feedback we have is that because there were 3 of us, it would have been good for the staff to provide 3 sets of utensils, plates, cups, etc. as opposed to just 2. Other than this detail, the place was spotless, quiet, and spacious, and the service was friendly and discreet.

The facility is wonderful. We would have liked power outlets near the bedding for alarm ⏰️ charging on our mobile devices. The property is clean, nicely articulated & designed, great walking location to area destinations & transportation. The staff are very nice & welcoming.

An Amazing and Relaxing Stay in Kyoto
Our family of 3 stayed in a total of 5 different accommodations during our trip to Japan. This hotel was our unanimous favorite. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was great for our needs (We wanted to be near the bamboo forest and the quiet area of Kyoto). The included breakfast is in a cafe that is below the rooms. This cafe had great food and drinks and also very friendly staff. The room was very large and spacious. It had 3 separate areas for toilet, shower/wet room, and sink / mirror. Our view of the mountains and local area was amazing as well. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone that is staying in Kyoto.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved it! What a great hotel - staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Breakfast included in the restaurant downstairs was excellent, loved the gourmet waffles! And the room .. wow. It was very spacious and the layout and decor were beautifully minimalist. Also had sliding glass doors that opened onto a balcony. We also enjoyed the rooftop patio with couches, tent and great views. Very convenient to walk to from station and as easy walk to bridge/river. I would gladly stay here again … absolutely loved it!!

Nice little hotel close to tourist area
Location was ideal, close to shops and restaurants. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is no elevator available. The rooms are small and storage is limited. Also, not many power outlets to charge phones. Breakfast was included and it was fantastic. By far the best breakfasts we had during our vacations. Getting taxis and Uber was cumbersome. Overall it was a good experience. I would recommend it.
