We had an amazing time staying with the screen, staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was big and very beautiful and the restaurant food was amazing. Definitely our best hotel stay while visiting Japan hands down
The room that we had was simply beautiful. We were late to check in and the staff waited for about 2 hours for us. The location is excellent and we will be staying here again for sure.
I rarely write reviews. But this was an amazing experience. The staff went above and beyond the accommodations.
If you are in Kyoto and want to stay in a location that is accessible this is your spot.

The concept is really cool, and the hotel has great amenities, rooms are comfortable and spacious, and it’s easy to get around on foot or using the metro. The staff is absolutely amazing and kind, breakfast is yummy, and the hotel is centrally located. I loved my stay here!
This is a very small boutique hotel, but do not let the size of the property fool you. The rooms are absolutely massive by Japanese standards and honestly larger than many rooms I have stayed in across North America. The value for the price was exceptional and far beyond what I expected when booking.
Our room had apparently only been newly completed or renovated about a month before our stay, and it showed. Everything felt brand new, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. The aesthetic was a beautiful blend of modern luxury and minimalist Japanese design, with warm wood tones, soft lighting, clean architectural lines, and a calm Zen-like atmosphere that fit Kyoto perfectly.
The bathroom was fantastic, spacious, modern, and very high-end feeling. The overall room layout felt sophisticated and relaxing rather than just another generic hotel room.
Breakfast each morning was excellent with a very good selection and high quality food. The staff throughout our stay were welcoming, professional, and helpful.
The location was also ideal. It was easy to access Kyoto’s major attractions while still feeling quiet and authentic rather than overly touristy.
Overall, this hotel completely exceeded expectations. Between the incredible room size, thoughtful design, excellent breakfast, and outstanding value, I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.
The semi sweet is a huge room!!! Staff goes above and beyond. The imperial palace is across the street, and the trains and buses are within a 6 minute walk. Make sure to bring a goshuin book with the amount of shrines. Only thing they don’t have is a washer and dry on property. But if you ask the front desk they can recommend one within a 10 min. Highly recommend.
It was a great stay, location is a bit out of the way but in a very nice quieter area of the city, was very happy with our room aside from the fact the “windows” were beside a stack of machines so sounded like an airplane going off, they did offer to change rooms but we stayed as the room we had was very modern and bright. Breakfast included for one morning was average, overall recommend staying here and the hotel itself is so quiet.
This was an excellent property. Extremely spacious, especially for Japan and very quiet and comfortable. It is in a quiet area but close to restaurants, shops and public transport. Excellent attentive service and a great breakfast.
The staff went above and beyond during my stay! The room was spacious and the hotel location was close to a metro stop, the national garden and a short walk to Nishiki Market. The restaurant had plant based menu items.
Very spacious room. Everything was great. Fridge was stocked with beverages. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great location with plenty of easy accessible shops in area.
