"Cosy but highly efficiently run ryokan dating back to the Meiji era. All rooms are Japanese style and the bathing communal."
Fodor's
"You won't find kimono-clad attendants here, but you also won't find wallet-emptying rates."

Frommer's
"Rooms are mostly Japanese style, with the best overlooking the garden. Also good bets are five Western-style rooms on the fifth floor with kitchenettes and tiny balconies."

Travel + Leisure
"Super Potato is one of the designers behind the 189-room hotel with traditional flourishes—kimono fabric headboards; washi paper lampshades—in the Higashiyama Shichijo district. ."

Time Out
"Readers of Conde Nast Traveller voted the Hyatt Regency the best hotel in Kyoto (and Japan’s second best), and it’s very easy to see why: the gorgeous interior."

Star Service
"This gem of a boutique-hotel offers respite as soon as guests enter the towering bamboo forest at its entrance and continues inside with a stunning interior created by Super Potato."
