“This brand-new, Japanese-themed hotel sits conveniently near Kyoto Station; plus, wellness amenities such as the on-site spa-including a hot spring bath and sauna-are available to all guests. Though rooms lean toward compact, they're cleverly designed, with zen touches throughout. I'd say it's a smooth and convenient base for exploring Kyoto's cultural heart.”

Excellent Stay Near the Station

great valueclean roomrelaxing experiencehelpful staff
I found very nice value at this hotel, specifically given the proximity to transit. My room was clean and a good size. I used the on-site onsen, and it was a relaxing experience. Front desk staff helped me ship my luggage to another city, and I thought this service was useful.
My room was quite small. Space was limited when two suitcases were open.

fantastic stay near the station

great locationspacious roomrelaxing onsenthin walls
the hotel's proximity to the train station was a plus (it made day trips so easy). i loved the spacious room with the large beds and comfortable pillows. the onsen was a real treat after a long day, it made my evenings so much more relaxing.
the walls seemed a bit thin, and i could sometimes hear noise from the corridor, slightly disruptive.
