Elegant Stay with Room for Improvement

Our stay offered a peaceful retreat with lovely green tea in our room. The kaiseki dinner provided an artistic culinary experience, but not every dish aligned with our tastes. For future guests, I recommend confirming preferences in advance, and perhaps opting for a room not facing the main road for quiet.

Private onsen communal bath, charming Japanese atrium garden, kimonos provided in-room

Finding this hotel was a challenge due to lack of clear directions!!! The noise from the main road was quite disruptive, making it hard to relax in what is supposed to be an oasis!!!

Just a smart choice for a short stayover in Kyoto with attractive and competitive value for money. The traditional Japanese decor and warm hospitality made our experience special. Consider asking for dietary accommodations ahead of time for meals.

Perfect for a family seeking tradition

The stay was outstanding. We got to wear kimonos and enjoy a spectacular kaiseki dinner served in numerous beautiful small courses that were exquisite. The onsen bath experience was relaxing, being the only guests at the time allowed us to unwind in peace.

It was pricey , but worth every penny.

The location was perfect (right next to the Yasaka Shrine! ), and the on-site baths with yuzu-flavored water were such a treat. The staff did a fantastic job at maintaining a serene atmosphere and were always smiling.

Everything exceeded my hopes.

the room was cozy,, but the sliding doors were tricky to maneuver. the hot tubs were so relaxing (the water was really soothing! ). the kaiseki dinner was beautifully presented (so many flavors in each dish! loved the yukata dress code, it added charm.

Our stay was fantastic, with the staff tidying our room and putting away the futons while we enjoyed breakfast. The location was perfect—nicely tucked away in the heart of Gion, right by Yasaka Shrine, and a stone’s throw from Kiyomizudera! The breakfast spread was incredible, easily one of the best dining experiences we savored in Japan.

However, the onsen was a bit small and could benefit from more space for relaxation.

great experience but some small flaws

The multi-plate breakfast was a delightful feast, beautifully presented in a serene setting. I appreciated the hotel’s attention to detail, especially the yukata and sandal dress code which added to the overall ambiance. The modern bathroom facilities were a pleasant surprise, providing both convenience and comfort. Many guests resonated with the charming hotel grounds, which enhanced the stay immensely.

The sleeping arrangements on the floor were initially daunting.

The Japanese-style room offered a serene atmosphere with delightful wooden accents and a comfortable setup that made sleeping on the floor surprisingly enjoyable. The highlight was the exquisite multi-plate breakfast featuring delicate dishes crafted from traditional Marche products. each meal was a feast for the senses. The communal spaces, especially the beautifully maintained bath, created an ideal environment to unwind and experience the local culture.

Tranquil escape in Kyoto

Such a unique experience! We loved the traditional kaiseki dinner—it was like a feast with so many flavors! The staff were super friendly, even showed us how to wear the yukata! The only thing was the sliding doors in our room were a bit tricky to open. Overall, it was the perfect mix of comfort and tradition.

Nice spot in Gion, quaint atmosphere. The kaiseki dinner was exquisite, each dish beautifully presented. The sliding doors in the room were inconvenient and tricky to use.

The serene atmosphere and beautiful antique dishes during meals made for an extraordinary experience. The peaceful decor and thoughtful attention to detail in the room greatly enhanced my comfort during the stay.

Check-out timing could be more flexible for seniors.
