This traditional hotel is a real gem. Converted from a 100 year old townhouse building called the machiya in Kyoto into a 10-room lodging facility, all the rooms are different and you can chose between a Western style room or Japanese style room.
We had a great time in a Japanese style room that came with a rubber bathtub! But the best part of this hotel was the breakfast made to order by the young and friendly staff. A perfectly poached egg, a perfectly steeped tea, and perfect little Japanese strawberries... Perfection is a hobby in Japan. It is not stressful, but rather a part of pleasure.
The staff also had great recommendations for restaurants to visit, and were able to respond to every request - something close by that we can get into but still really good, something a bit more elaborate and fancy in the more trendy part of town, and something so true to Kyoto we should not miss.
Try the hotel. And also follow their recommendations. See below.
