10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is very new and comfortable. It has the best breakfast during our trip in Japan. The location is close to many attractions, and a convenient store crosses street; however, it was too hot to walk in August, so walking to attractions is almost impossible. We used Uber and taxi, each trip is about $3-$4, very convenient and affordable. The only issue we had is our booking change via Expedia. We booked three rooms and made requests to check out one day earlier in two months in advance. However, we only got refund for 2 out of 3 rooms, and hotel refused to refund us the 3rd room. There is a communication issue between the hotel and Expedia. We hope we will get out refund soon.

Lovely and charming stay!
I really enjoyed my stay. The immediate area was quiet, but there were more options within a 10 min walk (market, bakeries, Korean restaurant). Great shower pressure and the bed was pretty comfortable. I didn't get a chance to use the free bikes. Oh, and check-in was easy and efficient as I could do it beforehand. It minimized time standing around at the front desk. Free bottled water was included and there were some free drinks near check-in. Bus access was easy for me. I forgot an item and it was recovered. I would recommend it and would consider staying again.

This is quite a new hotel. Larger rooms than the usual tiny Japanese rooms in older hotels. The bathrooms seem to have been carefully designed. Shampoo/conditioner and other amenities are very much appreciated of their quality. Locationwise: excellent.

I stayed in Kyoto for three nights and the room was not only reasonably sized but also had great tea making facilities, even a green tea pot that I nearly messed up by putting a wafer inside instead of matcha tea. Another thing I liked about the hotel was that they put a bag with a newspaper of your language on your door handle every day which was a nice touch.
