Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a relatively cheap stay for the time of year. The rooms are spacious, consisting of a large combined living/bedroom with a TV, hot water pot, a table, and three low chairs. While the service was efficient and helpful, there were minor language barriers. The location is great for Noh enthusiasts, being near the Heian Shrine and the philosophers path, but slightly far from other tourist spots. The dining experience was satisfying with diverse menu options. The facilities are well-maintained, offering a pleasant stay overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a nice blend of traditional and clean, offering a cozy space to relax. The service was somewhat lacking in English proficiency but made efforts to accommodate our needs. The location was a bit far from the center but ideal for exploring the Heian No Mori area. The dining options were good but with room for improvement in diversity. Overall, a decent choice for those seeking a quieter stay near cultural sites in Kyoto.
The hotel rooms were a bit larger than the usual ones in Japan, but my stay was cut short due to a strange and scary atmosphere with a strong supernatural feeling. I had to run back to the lobby after only 2 minutes inside the room, causing a headache. However, the hotel is well-connected and bigger than most in Japan.

My stay at this hotel was quite an adventure. The rooms, located at the corner of the floor, were really spacious with a traditional style. However, the dark and strangely laid out room had a supernatural feeling that gave me a headache, prompting me to quickly retreat back to the lobby within just 2 minutes.
