Excellent place to stay in Gion. Really nice location, convenient. Attentive staff but they will not get in your way. Nice bathroom with a Japanese-style shower and tub area. Very clean and nice amenities. Although no breakfast provided, they provide suggestions and a convenience store is right across the street.

Exceeded expectations

Booked this room in Kyoto for the extra space and comfort, and was very impressed! Having extra room for myself and my Brother and his family to relax in after a day of sight seeing was a great call. It wasn't cheap, to be sure, but it exceeded my expectations and is one of my all time favorite experiences with a hotel. Sometimes it is worth it to splurge a little, especially with how small most hotel rooms are in Japan. The llocation was also perfect! Highly recommend!!!

Loved it. It was very clean, modern yet traditional. It even smelled soothing in the halls and lobby! Location was perfect for our needs. They do have a wash/dry machine - but it is a condenser-style dryer so be prepared for a long dry time. There are several walk-able laundromats in a pinch. Would 10/10 stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! If you want to stay in the Gion area, this is a great spot. Just a few blocks off of major shopping stores but near lots of little historic alleyways. Not the most convenient location to get to Kyoto station, but it’s an easy 10 min ($10usd) taxi ride. Lots of fine dining restaurants around if you want that, have to look a little harder for cheaper restaurants, but I had the best ramen a block from the hotel. The staff were awesome, the place was very clean and quiet and you can’t beat the location. Being right by the river is awesome too. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Gion.
