This was a beautiful hotel in a walkable area with transportation nearby. Quickly get to Nishiki Market for good food, and the Gion District for sight-seeing. I stayed in a room with a private onsen which was amazing for recovery after walking all day. Hotel has a beautiful lobby and rooftop with a foot bath. Room was very large with a seating area to eat, a balcony, and little entryway. Fridge came stocked with drinks and there were also snacks to enjoy.

This is how you run a hotel. The staff explained the hotel services and amenities which allowed us to take full advantage of the hotel. The front desk was amazing and the highlight of the trip was our server Fukiku
I had a medical emergency and the manager checked in on me, gave me a referral and made sure I was ok. Like I was visiting family. Will be back!!!!

I don’t get to stay in super nice hotels often due to budget constraints. With that being said: This was the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I’d gladly do it again, the private onsen was more than worth it. The staff were incredibly kind and the location was super close to the nearby river and some train stations. I would love to come back and stay longer next time.
