Great service, staff and amazing food at the connected restaurant. Staff gave good advice for visiting Kyoto city. And they were able to check us in early. Staff has a great level of english.

This was a small boutique hotel, so lovely and quiet. Jeronimo, the manager was so so helpful - nothing was too much trouble for him (it was also nice to be able to have a good conversation in English)!! It had a lovely roof top terrace that we would have loved to relax on with a drink but…heh, kids, aren’t fond of ‘relaxing’. Great restaurant just two doors down and a ramen restaurant downstairs in the hotel - so easy to grab dinner at the end of busy days!! Plus my kids got a good kick out of the toilet seat that opened for you as you walked into the toilet.

Friendly, big comfortable bed, hot shower, location great for both town and temples near the hills, nice food in bar downstairs and locally, rooftop looked good but too cold and wet to use

This teeny boutique hotel had all the amenities needed for our stay and more! Small touches, like the deck of uno cards in the room, and the friendliness of Jeronimo on the front desk, made Material feel like home. The bed was also the comfiest of our trip in Japan!

I liked everything about the hotel. The staff representative was super helpful and nice, helped us to carry the luggage upstairs. The room was fully-equipped and clean. There is a rooftop where you can just chill out. We could leave our luggage for a couple of hours after the check out time, which we really appreciate! Absolutely the hotel to recommend.

Nice accomodation, very helpful host and the roof top terrace is really awesome for sunset. The Ramen restaurant on first floor and the okonomoyaki restaurant around the corner are quite good. To Gion you walk 10 Minutes and you can reach castle, shopping street quite fast by food as well, bus stop is either close. We really loved the stay there. So we totalley recommend it.

- You can walk easily to Kyoto old town spots (Gion, Pontocho Alley, Kiyomizu-dera Temple) - The hotel is in a nice neighbourhood (Convenience store, restaurants and metro nearby) and has a very charming rooftop terrace to enjoy some drinks with a nice view - The hotel staff is very helpful and kind. They speak very good English. - The room has a very comfortable bed and provides all necessary equipment for a short stay. It has a charming interior and resembles a modern ryokan style room - Although they don’t clean up the room every day, you can ask for new towels anytime
