Decent stay, but some issues require attention
dirty cups unhelpful staff
The room was not cleaned to an acceptable standard. Rubbish remained in the bin. Dirty cups were left in the sink. I also found the front desk staff unwelcoming and unhelpful.

Very nice Hotel Experience!!!
spacious room free laundry helpful staff
The room was a spacious Family Twin Room. I found the free laundry room with 24-hour access convenient. The staff were fluent in English and offered great recommendations. The 24 hours coffee and matcha bar was good!!!
The walls seemed a bit thin, and I could occasionally hear noise from other guests.
Location

The hotel is near Higashiyama, a short walk to Ninenzaka's posh streets. I found it especially charming at 7 AM before many tourists arrived. A bus stop close to the hotel provides easy transportation around the area.

The hotel includes modern amenities and a classy interior. Free hot drinks are available in the lobby at all times. Breakfast had a good range of options and I considered it well priced.
