Perfect location. Nice clean and very quiet hotel. Try the restaurant next door Tempura Endo - exquisite. Only downside - regular rooms are super small - we only had carry-ons and backpack and barely squeezed. If you have luggage - get a larger room or you'll be very frustrated. Staff was great.

The hotel was well located in the busy Gion area. It was a calm and peaceful and well landscaped. The room cleaning was basic. They changed the towels and made the beds and took out the trash, nothing more. They informed me that the hotel nightly rate dropped but they couldn’t extend the discount. I felt like a lot of Kyoto was a money grab.
