What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Japanese Cuisine

I had a great experience trying out the dining options at the hotel. Most of the food was Japanese, allowing me to explore local dishes. The dinner menu featured two choices, consistently including a good Japanese beef curry alongside a rotating dish. This cultural experience made my stay nice.

Relaxing Onsen Experience

One of my favorite facilities was the public bath with a sauna. It provided a unique opportunity to unwind after a day of exploring Kyoto. Even though I had a busy schedule, I made sure to set aside time to enjoy this relaxation option, which was truly refreshing.

Comfortable and Cozy Room

I was pleasantly surprised by my room's comfort. It featured a cozy bed and even a sofa, which made my stay much more enjoyable. While the room was compact, it was well-appointed and provided everything I needed for a pleasant stay in Kyoto.

Perfect Sleep Setup

The mattress in my room was exceptionally comfortable, helping me to have a restful night's sleep after busy days of sightseeing. The overall atmosphere of the room was calm and created a perfect environment for relaxation. I couldn't have asked for a better sleeping arrangement.
