Great location. The room was huge, not just by japan standards but even bigger than a lot of American rooms. Only gave a four star because the bed was not comfortable, too hard for me, but that may be good for others. Hotel was a bit outdated, and themed a bit weird but that’s not really important (to us), we just care about location and cleanliness and those things exceeded our expectations.

The hotel was lovely, in a quiet neighborhood. Staff was helpful. It was an easy walk from the Gion train station, but not many restaurants close by that weren't already completely booked for the evening. We had to walk a little further, but the atmosphere of Gion was delightful.

Out dated building but large room. The breakfast was simple with no laundry service. If you need anything it’s a few blocks to walk to the nearest store.

This hotel is beautiful and we were very pleased with our room. The bathroom felt luxurious! We also couldn't have asked for a better location, it is in a quiet area next to a museum, shrine, and picturesque roads. The nearby park was in full Autumn colors. Breakfast was set out on trays for all guests, and consisted of traditional Japanese foods. The coffee was delicious. The staff spoke English and were extremely helpful with advice and letting us keep our luggage on site for a few hours after we checked out. We were so happy here and would absolutely recommend this hotel to other travelers.

The location was great in the middle of Gion district and I was able to walk to most of the places in the area, avoiding super crowded buses full of tourists. The rooms were pretty outdated but spacious, breakfast was simple but very nice.

Cozy, character, amenities and location!
LOVED this hotel. It was near the heart of the Gion district, had a cozy retro feel, a HUGE spacious room (which I did not expect, knowing Japan) with 2 full beds pushed together vs only 1 full bed for 2 people. SO comfortable and spacious. Speaking of spacious…the bathroom was huge, complete with a toilet in a separate room, and a very large room with a jacuzzi tub, traditional onsen like showering area (not a tub, but an open wet room with a shower head and a stool), AND a private sauna. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Kyoto. Arigato gozaimasu!

Excellent value for money. A quiet area with lots of shops and eateries just around the corner. Walkable to various local temples and to local metro stations. Helpful staff who look after your luggage and a little room by reception to eat your own food and a kitchen to use. We stopped for two nights but wish we would have stopped longer. I recommend.
