Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is best for those embrace traditional settings but cramped spaces with comfy beds, and helpful service. The quiet residential neighborhood provides easy access to Nishiki market and local eateries, making it an authentic stay. Dining options are not included, but you can enjoy homemade pastries. The traditional feel of the rooms adds an authentic touch to the stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms lacked windows and space, with a higher charge for no additional room for suitcases or clothes, but they did have tasteful interiors. The service was decent with two helpers available; however, they wouldn't assist in booking restaurants early or on the day of check-out. The hotel's location in the old city center was charming, but there were limited dining options and no included meals. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
This hotel offers rooms with tasteful interiors by Japan standards, boasting foster windows that add to the traditional feel. The service, while not helping book any restaurant before check-in or on the day of check-out, was provided by two helpers. I found the location to be very quiet in an inner neighborhood area, close to a subway station and within walking distance of small restaurants near the Nishiki Market. The dining did not include meals but was complemented by American pancakes. The overall facilities were satisfactory.
This hotel is located in a quiet residential neighborhood with small restaurants at a walking distance from Nishiki market. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but if you want them with made-up beds, there's an additional charge, and it doesn't offer extra space. The service is efficient with two helpers available, yet they won't help to book any restaurant before checking in or on the day of the check-out. The location is perfect for exploring Kyoto's main attractions on foot. The dining options include regional products. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience with this hotel. The rooms were small without a window but had comfy beds. However, the charge for a made-up bed without additional space was a downside. On the bright side, the bed itself was very comfortable.
The hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood close to a subway station, making it convenient for exploring Kyoto. The rooms lack windows and space for luggage but do come at a higher charge by local standards. The service is efficient but doesn't assist with booking restaurants in advance. Dining is not included, but fresh ingredients are used. Overall, a decent option for a modest stay with some limitations to consider.
