What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy and Charming

I stayed in a Twin Room for eight nights, and it was my favorite place during our trip! The room blended industrial and Japanese traditional design beautifully. Even though it faced a major road, the noise was minimal, which was a pleasant surprise. We thoroughly enjoyed the cleanliness and comfort of the room! I would recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Ramen Delight

Dining at the ramen restaurant located on the ground floor was a highlight of my stay! I dined twice during my visit, and the ramen was some of the best I'd tasted in Japan. It’s incredibly convenient to have such a delicious meal option right at the hotel, especially after busy days of exploring!

Luxurious Amenities

The bathroom facilities were impressive! My room featured a great shower and lovely amenities that made me feel pampered. The towels were soft, and the overall cleanliness was beyond satisfactory. It truly added a touch of luxury to my stay, and I felt completely refreshed after every shower!

Sleep Like a Baby

The bed in my Mini Room was incredibly comfortable! I slept like a baby every night. The bedding quality was excellent, and the atmosphere in the room was serene, allowing for truly restful nights. It's worth mentioning that even with some street noise, the sound-proofing was good enough that I still enjoyed peaceful slumbers.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with a great location just a short walk from the subway, making it really convenient to explore the city. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. One downside was the limited breakfast options; it could definitely use some improvement. Overall, it offers good value for money, but it could really elevate the experience with a few enhancements in dining.
