Excellent value and location to stay in a historical neighbourhood, close to many attractions, shops, and food spots. The building and courtyard are pretty and tranquil - a nice welcoming to this beautiful city.

Everything was excellent other than the rooms being small.

4-night trip

Clean, comfortable room with a decent sized working desk in a busy but still tucked away Gion location. A range of restaurants nearby. No breakfast/restaurant available, but 7-11 is a 5 minutes walk away.

10/10

Great place to stay, in the heart of Gion district, beautiful streets, train station around the corner , just close to everything. Staff were very helpful and welcoming, the room was on the small size but otherwise perfect, had all the necessary items available and comfortable.

4-night trip

10/10

The room was very nicely decorated and all amenities were perfectly good. The staff were very friendly and the hotel is well located for walking to various tourist locations in the east of Kyōto.

2-night trip

10/10

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel in Gion, really close to the subway station and super classy area full of bars and restaurants! Only downside is compared to other hotels we stayed in Japan the facilities were not as great, no vending machine etc. Would definitely stay here again when we are back on Kyoto

4-night trip

Good location, close to attractions in Gion and transport.

4-night trip

10/10

Excellent location, clean and comfortable rooms. I did not like that they use a textile freshener when they clean the rooms, and that gives me an allergy. Other than that personal experience, I can highly recommend this hotel.

6/10

Good location but the air conditioner is installed at a bad angle and it was blowing right in my face when I was trying to sleep

4-night trip

10/10

Small clean hotel in an excellent area for tourists. Very close to the historic streets where you can try to glimpse geisha. Staff were kind and helpful. Just a small comment that if you need to do laundry, the dryer is not very effective, and it took me 2 hours to dry a small load (costs 100 yen per 30 minutes of drying).

4-night trip

8/10

It was in a great location close to the old parts of Kyoto but also the subway and the centre making it very easy to get around from. The rooms are really nicely done but very small. The bathrooms were particularly small and for 2 of us with luggage it was a bit of a right fit, but then we didn't spend much time in the rooms anyway. Nice to have Nespresso coffee in the room, this was the only hotel we stayed in during our time in Japan that offered this. We would recommend this hotel if you're visiting Kyoto and it was reasonably priced.

4-night trip

2/10

The best part about this hotel is that it is near everything you’d want to see in Kyoto, and if not the station is close by. I feel like having to pay for the room to be cleaned whilst at a Hotel and not an AirBnb is crazy, and even when the hotel room was cleaned it remained dirty. We didn’t get our suitcases put into our room despite being told we would. Also we had bugs in our room. Not sure if they were bed bugs, but we and my wife got bit a lot. The hotel was the worst part of our trip to Kyoto
