Our favourite hotel of our trip to Japan. It felt very luxurious and they included a bottle of bubbly for us in the room as it was a special occassion. The bathroom was very clean and modern with a built in bluetooth speaker. Bed was comfy. And just a 15 minute straight walk up to the main part of town, so we didn't get breakfast included as plenty of options nearby.

It was truly the BEST and most AMAZING experience—such a cozy and friendly hotel, with wonderful staff (who helped me a lot by sending my pendant to Tokyo after I accidentally left it at checkout). Higashiyama Metro Station is just 50 meters from the entrance, which is very convenient. The nearby river creates a perfect atmosphere, especially during breakfast in the morning and "happy hours" in the evening (with high-quality drinks - trust me!). The rooms are very spacious, with plenty of windows, and since the hotel itself isn't very large, it's wonderfully peaceful and quiet.
I could not write anything what I did not like, really, it was amazing stay and if we will come back to Kyoto, 100% we will stay here again!

This is a wonderful hotel on the river bank with a wonderful view, where you want to return after an intensive day. In the lobby, some kind of Japanese art is always presented, there is also a wonderful selection of books to read. The hotel is located near many famous temples, 5 minutes by metro to the center. Comfortable room, especially good bathroom and bed with pillows. Excellent service and kind responsive staff. Good fresh breakfast always, many restaurants in the area. You want to come back to such a hotel again and again, as to your home. I thank each employee of the hotel for the wonderful atmosphere and kind hearts!
Everything is great

Recommended for Kyoto! good location next to subway station that you can use to transfer to other lines (there are a few in Kyoto). quiet location with quick walk to historic areas. 10-15 minute walk to dozens of restaurants and there are a few very close by. Most comfortable room + bathroom (except the two twins being pushed together) - big for Japan standards. Nice building/lobby and comfortable to return to each day. Loved the happy hour with free drinks/snacks. Breakfast good (not authentic Japanese but that was okay with me) - a little boring after 4 nights with the same thing every day but was pretty much what i'd eat at home. Friendly staff.
All was good.

- really good location next to subway and easy walking distance from Gion. - lots of nice restaurants and bars nearby - room was very quiet even though hotel is next to the main road. Plus there was a very picturesque river right next to hotel where you can see herons and egrets - great staff - upgraded us to a better room because toilet in ours was broken - room was very beautifully decorated and had everything we needed - free drinks for guests every evening with local sake and appetizer snacks
- limited options for breakfast (but most likely because they offer products from local producers like yogurt and salad) - water in shower was rather tepid

The room was quite big, clean, with comfy beds, the hotel staff was amazing, so friendly and helpful! We asked if we can leave the suitcases before the check in and they said it's okay, also leaving them at the hotel after the check out as our train was in the afternoon which was a relief! The breakfast was nice although it maybe lacked in variety but overall good. The location of the hotel is very nice, maybe a bit far from the "center" if you prefer to walk, but there is a metro station right outside as well as a bus station. They also offered free drinks in the evenings which was nice :)

Our stay at Tassel Hotel was absolutely amazing, we were absolutely delighted with everything at this beautiful boutique hotel from the extremely helpful and welcoming staff to the immaculate accommodation and facilities. The location was fantastic close to subway, shops and attractions and just loved the beautiful flowing stream that was right next to hotel. The breakfast was amazing and we were so very impressed with the free drinks and nibbles that was offered from 6pm to 10pm.

Everything was great - room, hotel facilities, ambience, people. I liked the design and style, especially the ceiling, the material they used for soundproofing (I guess) looks awesome. I particularly enjoyed the separate shower room with shower and bath both. They have a nice evening drinks and snacks in their cozy lobby area. I wish more people utilized this amenity, it was a bit empty; but of course evening is the time when most tourists are out for dinner and fun. We had breakfast once, and it was quite nice. Location is great too, easily walkable to Gion, Pontocho and shops, but tucked away, so you don’t get noise and crowds. Right by the subway exit.
Honestly, nothing.

Hotel staff was super friendly. We stored our luggage before check-in time to then go and explore Kyoto. When we returned our luggage was already on our room. The complimentary drinks and snacks in the evening were highly appreciated. It made the stay even more enjoyable. The location next to the river is just beautiful.
Just a small thing: We were staying in one of the smaller rooms (306) and we were missing some hooks to e.g. hang towels or toiletry bags and some surfaces to place some things in the bathroom.
