This property is location in heart of Gion. Nearby shops, restaurants, temples, shrines. The rooms are small, a/c was great. Would’ve like daily garbage pick up. Clean towels provided request, as needed. Laundry room convenient and a plus for me. Overall a pleasant stay.

Great stay, great location. Hotel room was clean and slightly more spacious than our Tokyo hotel. You can control your own room temp, so that was a plus- a/c worked great. There is no onsen, also no breakfast available, but 7/11 was a quick walk away. There are 2 washer/dryer units on the 1st floor. Drying took forever, but better than nothing. Overall a nice place for a few days with a convenient location!

The hotel was excellent and I enjoyed my stay there. It was in a convenient and central location while I was in Kyoto for a few days for the first time. The staff were very kind. The hotel room was a comfortable size for my partner and I, and the hotel was able to smoothly assist us with transporting our luggage to the next hotel for our next destination. I would highly recommend staying here!
