The screen is a hotel with a stunning g design, the look from outside gives you no idea of the beautiful interior. All rooms are individually designed and ours was amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful and it is one of the best hotels I have stayed in. It is slightly away from Gion but is very close to beautiful sights.

Amazing stay in Kyoto
Prime location across from the Imperial Palace grounds, beautiful room overlooking an ancient shrine, fantastic Japanese breakfast, and the warmest welcome from staff with welcome drinks and gourmet chocolates sent to our room. Large jacuzzi tub with a separate shower and a walk-in closet! The bed was huge and so very comfy, separate sitting area, too. We had no issues getting cabs right out front all hours of the day and night. The desk clerk was helpful in making dinner and spa reservations. 5 stars for this beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Kyoto.

This boutique hotel located in the art district offers large, stylish rooms. We reserved #102, with red Japanese decor, large king platform bed, nice modern and clean bathroom. Included breakfast, western & Japanese. Centrally located, walkable to Nishiki Market and shopping district and surrounded by galleries and dining options. Across the street from Imperial Palace. Staff very attentive to our needs. the bed pillows which were too soft. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Beautiful contemporary hotel with a design aesthetic. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. Amazing breakfast. Staff were great and speak English to various degrees. The location, a short walk to the Imperial Palace grounds, is not the most convenient, but a 10-12 minute walk in either direction will get you to a subway stop or local train stop. Taxi service is good and fare is reasonable.
