Cute Cubby Hole

I absolutely loved my solo stay in this cozy little nook! The room might be small, but it was designed perfectly for comfort. The bed was super comfy and included tea making facilities, which made my first cuppa in bed a good experience! Every detail was clean and well thought out. I can’t recommend this enough for solo travelers!

Spacious Bathroom Joy

Despite the compact room size, the shower area was impressively spacious! It provided a fantastic experience after a long day of exploring Kyoto. I found the bathroom amenities to be great, making the experience even better. It exceeded my expectations for a hotel of this size.

Rooftop Breakfast Delight

I enjoyed the perfect start to my day with yogurts and muffins provided just outside my room. I took them up to the rooftop, which was a lovely quiet space to enjoy breakfast. It was a nice little touch that made my mornings feel special! I loved it!

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which was clean and provided all the essential facilities I needed. The main drawback was the extreme small bed, which made my stay slightly uncomfortable. However, I absolutely loved the location, as it was close to great restaurants and all the temples I wanted to visit. Overall, the experience offered good value for money, despite a few downsides.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and provided a comfortable atmosphere, while the location was really convenient with plenty of dining options nearby. However, the bed was extremely small, which made sleeping a bit cramped, and the dining experience could use some improvement—especially regarding breakfast variety. The facilities were decent, but not exactly luxurious.
