We had stayed in this property 6 years ago just after it had first opened. Coming back we were pleasantly surprised that it was still a really great and it was almost like new. The staff were really helpful with restaurant bookings and general advice. It’s also great to have the onsen inside the hotel after a long days walking. I would easily recommend to people visiting Kyoto.

Great location. Decent breakfast, served until 11am which is nice. The Premiere King Room is quite small. Maid service only if you stay longer than 3 days. There are no drawers, closets or places to put your luggage or clothes. There is no space between the bed and the wall so you have to crawl in and out of bed….not something I have often encountered. Seems a bit expensive for this setup. Check out the competition in the area before booking.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The location is very convenient with easy access to subway lines that take you to Kyoto station. This is very important as it is not possible to take large luggage with you on the local buses. It close to Gion and many restaurants.

We loved everything in this place and we were sad to leave and we would go back any time! The place is beautiful, central, warm, welcoming, exceptionally clean. The staff was extremely professional, helpful, caring, gentle. We loved the breakfast, everything was fresh, delicious, and everyday there were new different dishes to try. Coffee, water and tea were available anytime of the day. The bar was a pleasant retreat at the end of a long day of sightseeing. The rooms will be small, it will be hard to open a large suitcase. But, this is Gion, the oldest and most charming neighborhood in Tokyo, so space does not matter. I fell in love with the beds and the shower, if only one could take them back home ;) We were not able to try the onsen for various reasons, but all the guests we talked to who did were very happy. This hotel will be on top of our list on our next visit. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.
