Great family accommodations in Kyoto
Fantastic place for a longer stay, with lots of amenities including free rentals of commonly needed items like a luggage scale. Friendly and responsive staff and very clean rooms. Highly recommended!
The hotel was absolutely stunning! Service was spot on, happy hour for beer and sake was a bonus! Loved the free calligraphy session too. Perhaps next time to place families with kids on lower level as we had kids stomping up and down their room from upstairs and it was a little frustrating to hear this for the 4 nights at various times throughout the day. It compromised the zen feeling and vibe we were looking for during our stay.

This is a great place to stay in Tokyo. It’s a great location, close to the subway line and within an easy walk to Pontoccho Alley and Gion. The staff are friendly and helpful. The place is spotless and our two bedroom apartment was spacious and had everything you need and more. Highly recommend.
Great property, room was fantastic a good size for family of four. Would definitely recommend as we will stay here again on our next trip.

Enjoyed our stay.
Great location and large rooms with plenty of amenities. The staff were super helpful. My only suggestion is the check how many beds are in your room. We had 6 people in a 2 bedroom suite, but only 4 beds, we were able to upgrade to a larger 3 bedroom suite with 6 beds, but could be a problem if they don’t have any upgrades available.

This was a great place to stay. The service was impeccable. I asked somebody about the luggage delivery service and two days later when I left, they had already filled out the paperwork (I hadn't even committed to it yet). It's a small thing, but it saved me 20 minutes of figuring it out with somebody. The room was a nice 2 bed / 2 bad apartment. It was clean and nice. The free beer and sake and juices at happy hour was a plus. After long days of hiking around kyoto having a nice refreshing and free beer was awesome. The location is not convenient for any particular popular destination in the kyoto area, but it was central, so getting to most places was rather easy. Overall it was an enjoyable stay that exceeded expectations for me, my wife and two kids.
Location was ideal. We were centrally located. Able to use the subway to get all of our planned sites. They had free happy hour sake or beer. It was convenient to have laundry in our room. Staff was friendly and helpful. They also helped us tract down my son’s lost AirPods at the local tea/kimono experience

Fantastic property and staff
This is a phenomenal apartment-hotel. The apartment was clean, spacious and well appointed. Bonus, everyday there is a happy hour with complementary drinks and sake. Better, there is free proper coffee all day and into the evening.
The staff is phenomenal as well. English speaking, providing great recommendations, and making arrangements for our specific needs. They are friendly and took care of all of our luggage arrival shipping needs.
The location is a hidden gem. It's on a quiet street, next to a beautiful temple, and literally 10 yards/meters from the #5 bus, which services direct access to the shopping district. It's a 5 minute walk to a small and easy to manage subway stop, which is only 2 stops from the Kyoto rail station.
Our family absolutely loved this place and we will be back!
