The room was very spacious, which in Japan is not a given, and it had a washing machine which was great as we were half-way through our two-week trip. The location is great for Gion attractions and quiet, with a great ramen place opposite where we ate twice a great lunch to keep us going.

Quiet, large room, close to transport and a short walk to all the great food spots in Pontocho alley and Nishiki Market. Can also walk to Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomisu-Dera. Room had a washing machine but no dryer, there was however a drying rack. Would stay here again. Staff helped us with transferring our luggage and were always helpful.
