How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
The atmosphere is impressive, like being inside a video game or manga; I loved the industrial structure, the rooms are comfortable and everything works well. I give it a 10 for quality/price/experience! That said, it’s not for everyone, it has a different vibe, for open minds! And the location is perfect. No complaints at all!

The spot in Gion is amazing, and the staff were super helpful and friendly.

The rooftop terrace is great, and breakfast comes on lovely plates; the rooms are fantastic and architecturally striking, spacious and well-equipped, with friendly staff. The coffee stand outside the hotel is awesome, though it was closed one day. The hotel sits very centrally, but I was personally annoyed by the many tourists trying to snap the best photo of the temple and themselves, especially during arrival and departure; the small forecourt is a bit quieter.

This was without a doubt our favourite stay in Japan! Everything about it was incredible. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Kyoto, and I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever slept in a comfier bed in my life. And the pillows!! WOW! It was actually the cheapest hotel we booked during our three weeks in Japan, yet it surpassed some of the hotels we stayed in that were triple the price. Such amazing value for money. The property itself is so unique, having been converted from an old apartment complex, and it made the whole experience feel that little bit more special. We absolutely loved it. Oh and that view!!!! The simple breakfast of toast and juice each morning was such a lovely touch and exactly what we needed before heading out to explore. I honestly couldn’t fault a single thing about our stay. We loved every minute and would recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto. We’d come back in a heartbeat! Nothing was wrong; it was perfect.
