Reviewed Jun 1, 2026The property is in the perfect location. It’s a short walk to the major tourist attraction as well as shopping. But the highlight is that it is closely located to a grocery store/food market with a fantastic array of fresh fruit, vegetables, tempura stand and sashimi! The staff of the hotel are friendly and helpful. The room was clean and contained everything needed for the person who ventures out early and arrives home late.

The room felt quite dark. Not a problem for us because we were out all day but thought I would mention it for anyone who thinks they’ll spend some time in their room.

Reviewed May 3, 2026Schönes kleines Hotel, befindet sich im Stadtteil Higashiyama, also ganz in der Nähe von vielen Temple und Restaurants höchster Qualität. Es ist zwar nicht aufwendig ausgestattet, es hat uns aber an nichts gefehlt: das Zimmer war komfortabel und sauber, das Badezimmer war, wie in den meisten Orten in Japan, hochmodern gerichtet, und das Dekor war sehr minimalistisch aber ästhetisch.

Everyone was friendly, and when I had an issue with my luggage transport to another hotel the receptionist sat with me and helped me figure out the issue until it was solved, including helping me call a new hotel and booking a new reservation. Thank you!! Location was perfect - close proximity to many of the temples and shrines I wanted to visit, including Kiyomizu-Dera, Yasaka, and Kodai-Ji. It was also near the bus stop, and the area around the hotel was very peaceful and lovely to walk around, especially at night. Walking to the river (which took about 5 minutes) was a highlight of my nights. Overall I had an amazing stay and would highly recommend.
