10/10 Exceptional

This boutique hotel was the absolute highlight of our trip to Japan. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the exceptional, personalized service. The staff is remarkably attentive and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed—even greeting us with thoughtful complimentary snacks upon arrival.The attention to detail is evident in every corner of the property. The decor strikes a balance of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern comfort, creating a cozy and serene atmosphere. We absolutely loved waking up to the beautifully prepared and delicious traditional Japanese breakfast—it was a culinary experience in itself!While the hotel is a bit outside the central tourist hubs, it was actually our favorite part of the location. It is nestled in a quiet, peaceful, and genuinely authentic Kyoto neighborhood, allowing you to experience the local charm without the crowds. Yet, it is still incredibly convenient, being just a short, pleasant walk from the Imperial Palace and a nearby subway station. We also booked a relaxing aromatherapy massage in our room with very professional and attentive therapists that helped our sore muscles recuperate from all the travelling. If you are looking for a personalized, tranquil, and authentic stay in Kyoto, look no further. Highly recommended!

It’s a great little hotel in a very quiet part of Kyoto. If you wish to get away from all the crowds and just experience how the locals live, this is a hotel for you. We had a room with a private onsen bath, which was just perfect at the end of all the sightseeing. Special thanks to the staff, who went above and beyond to make us feel very comfortable. We also booked a kaiseki dinner at their restaurant (in a sister hotel) Futago. Incredible food and service. I highly recommend you try it if you get a chance.

Very nice boutique hotel. Small and quiet. Only reason for not giving a perfect review is that the room we had was very musty and moldy smelling.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff

Exceptional staff and beautiful rooms. We had a wonderful time here and would recommend it to anyone. The location is excellent for the palaces if that’s what you’re into but not near the main shops and older districts. We caught taxis everywhere which the hotel organised for us and we were very happy with that. Wasn’t too expensive compared to Europe and other places visited.

We are a family of 4 and we booked 2 rooms. The service was incredible from start to finish. Aya and Rodrigo go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. There was also a young Japanese man, I forgot his name. He was the sweetest person you will ever meet. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The neighborhood is very quiet and a little bit away from the city, but there are places to eat within walking distance. I would stay here again if we ever came back to Kyoto!

10/10 Exceptional

This is the nicest hotel staff on the whole planet. I'm not exaggerating! As my husband is a vegetarian, we were concerned about getting decent meals. Not only did the staff arrange a special vegetarian breakfast for him (served in the room), but helped us make dinner reservations, and, on a memorable occasion, raced a block away where we were waiting at the laundry, with three options printed out with QR codes and everything, to help us decide which one we preferred. Great with taxis, too; and always remembered to learn our plans for the day and to ask how our day had gone. The hotel is in a small-scale residential neighborhood, quiet but with many services. It is a bit of a hike from the nearest subway station, but it is not hard or genuinely expensive to call a cab if you haven't the legs for it.
