The air-conditioned rooms have a sitting area featuring a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, along with comforts such as blackout curtains and climate control. Decorated in warm design, the rooms have beds with futons. Spacious bedrooms are equipped with a wardrobe.

“This hotel stands out for its New York hip style, a refreshing change, and its prime location near Sanjo Station makes navigating Kyoto simple; plus, the proximity to dining in Pontocho alley is a definite perk. Its modern vibe, comfortable rooms, and location make it a practical base for exploring the city's cultural heart.”
