Takaichi District Vacations & Trips from $1,256

Everything about this hotel was wonderful. We stayed in a classy king room. It was spacious with the best shower I’ve experienced in a hotel. The location is perfect. It’s near the main shopping area but also has Pontocho alley right in front of the hotel where you can experience the traditional Japanese restaurants in the older part of town. It’s easy to get around with buses and subways nearby. Kyōto station is about a 10 minute bus ride away or a taxi ride (approximately 2000 yen). The breakfast was lovely too and the staff were friendly and polite. They have a small gym with two treadmills, a cross trainer and two bikes but no weights. Mats are provided. It’s basic but clean and functional. Highly recommend. I would stay there again.

The stand out about this hotel is the people. Everything with the property is excellent. But a hotel is about people. The people that care for you here are so lovely and warm that they feel more like family. You really look forward to seeing them every day and engaging them on the traditions and culture of Japan.

Room spotless, staff good.

There was a blot on the carpet and seems the room smelt of disinfectant. Otherwise I could have rated our stay 5-star.

Location was very good but the hotel is very dated and appears grubby because of it. The staff are hidden behind a wall so you can’t see them and can only communicate via a space at the bottom. It was kind of weird. The staff were friendly though.
