Loved our stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely PERFECT. Very central to explore Kyoto from - especially the historical districts. In close proximity to tons of dining spots. The hotel was very clean and had everything we needed (laundry room was such a saver).

Nice hotel in a quiet neighbourhood. No street sounds at all. Room was clean and beds were firm comfy. Walking distance from many temples and shrines as well as the central. Many bus lines and train near by. Beatiful area.

A great little place to stay in Gion, staff were very attentive and approachable and spoke English which helped me as my Japanese was very limited. Great area, we could get buses to Kyoto station frequently and then go out from there to all the sites. Family mart close by for lunch and dinners if you did not wish to dine out. Loved our stay.

Great location between the busier shops and the more traditional areas of Gion. This hotel room was huge compared to some of its counterparts in Tokyo. Comfy bed, great bathroom and shower. Walking distance to trains and buses. Loved it.

The hotel is located in Gion area and it was amazing. The staff speak English and the check-in/check-out process was quick and smooth. The rooms are spacious and clean. Few steps away is the Hard Rock Cafe and the main shopping street is across the hotel from the main road. Gion is packed with sightseeing shrines and temples. Some of them have a light show at night. This hotel is awesome. I’m definitely coming back again
