Our stay at the General Kyoto Bukkoji Shinmachi
Very pleasant stay. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The complimentary longe was a nice touch. The only minor issue was with the humidity level in the room and the hardness of the bed.

Staff were excellent, very helpful. It also helped that they speak English. Room was very clean. Enjoyed the lounge where snack and drinks were provided.
Plenty of things to do in Kyoto. We spent a day around the Arashiyama area, a day in Gion, etc. If you have a spare day, I would recommend going to Nara for a day.

The boutique hotel was a much needed respite after our days in Tokyo. It was clean, quiet and spacious. We made use of the washer and the lounge. It was conveniently located to busses and subways.

The hotel is beautiful. I loved the style, and the rooms were super clean and spacious. The lounge offers free bites and drinks throughout the day. The hotel is very close to Gion and it’s easy to get to other sites via the nearby bus and train stations. The staff was super friendly.

Very good place
Nice rooms, great staff, laundromat on the premises, free drinks and snacks in the lounge. Good location. I recommend this place.
The staff was very helful. It did provided a very quiet, nice and comfortable environment. But, it is a bit far away from public transports and shopping areas. In any event, I enjoyed during my stay in this hotel.
