“Impressed by the location – very close to Nishiki Market, not far from main sights, and near the bus stop for 207, which can hop on and off to hotspots around the city. The room and bathroom were small but very clean and well-equipped. Staff gave excellent service and helpful tips. Breakfast was delicious with various options. The view from my room was amazing.”

“A hidden gem in a central location, a stone's throw from major department stores and bustling Nishiki Market. Rooms are comfortable and clean, with attention to detail and good facilities like a double bed and cosy sofa. I particularly enjoyed having a 7-11 right beside the alleyway entrance. Staff were friendly and prices were great – excellent value.”
