About

The hotel has no on-site parking and does not allow pets, so plan ahead if you arrive by car.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking, so guests arriving by car will need to find nearby public parking. This is common in central Kyoto but worth planning for.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 22:00. If you arrive later, you’ll need to make arrangements, and check-out is a firm 10:00.
  • Pets not allowed — The hotel is strictly no-pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Twin-room configuration only — All listed rooms feature two single beds, which may not suit couples or families wanting a double or larger bed.
