The hotel rooms were clean and had everything we needed, but felt a bit small, especially with three people staying. The separate shower and toilet setup was interesting, and having a smartphone for hotel and outdoor use was a nice touch. The reception area was cozy and served as a good meeting spot.

The hotel is conveniently located near the subway station Shijo and within walking distance to good restaurants and shops. The rooms have tatami flooring, but lack a closet, making the suitcase your closet. The service is friendly and offers open crafting sessions with free sake. The dining options are tasty but not the sturdiest. The location allows for relaxation and easy access to transportation while being a bit far from the main attractions.

The hotel has amazing rooms that feel like a big living room but can be damp and wet at times, almost like a sauna. The staff are all lovely, welcoming, and speak great English, making the service top-notch. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring the city on foot and relaxing, although the rooms are small without much seating. The dining experience offers good choices, especially for Western palates, and the homemade cakes are delicious.
