Beautiful hotel, very relaxing experience with lots of internal gardens throughout. The room was interesting with the ability to close off the bathroom space, or open it up. Comfy bed, Nespresso coffee, and good facilities. The shared bath area was lovely, with everything you needed and the bath area looked onto an enclosed garden space. Very helpful staff and the guest lounge was handy while waiting for the free shuttle to the station. Great location for seeing Gion district.

    Staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, they spoke excellent English. Room was clean and spacious, very zen! The wood bath - WOW! Overall, a lovely place for us to relax during our honeymoon. Location wise, it was super convenient as it was basically a 1 minute walk to the train station, which took us to Nishiki Market within 10 minutes.
