Comfortable & Cozy Room

I loved the semi-tatami style of the twin room we stayed in! The spacious layout and soft bed made it a perfect retreat after long days of exploration. The traditional Japanese vibe with modern touches was just what we needed. It felt like a true escape! Overall, it was one of the most comfortable hotel stays I've experienced.

Surprising Breakfast Delight

The complimentary breakfast was a fantastic addition! I absolutely loved the red bean pastry. It kept me energized for sightseeing, and I just couldn't stop eating it. The fact that it was included, and of such quality, was such a pleasant surprise during my stay!

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic for exploring the Gion district and nearby historical neighborhoods, and the staff were incredibly helpful and courteous. However, I found the rooms to be quite small and lacking windows, which felt a bit cramped even by Japanese standards. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there was room for improvement.
