Wow! What a deal for the location. We were right in the heart of Gion. This place was a perfect location for us and we were able to stop back if needed something or a rest while exploring Gion. You are right by the bus stations and off of the main bridge and intersection. This place had a spacious shower/bath and a good sized room for Japan. The staff at the front was super nice. It was everything we needed and more. Again, the location really cannot be beat.

Perfect location in Gion near all of the attractions. It’s so close to the train, practically next door to the entrance. Large room, large updated private bathroom with soaker tub. Very large comfortable bed. Large windows with screens as well as room darkening doors for blocking out sun and heat during the day. Quiet hotel. Friendly and accommodating staff who are eager to assist and make sure you have everything you need.

A spotlessly clean hotel with good sized rooms, comfy beds and a great bathroom with shower and jacuzzi massage bath. Staff extremely helpful. Fab location by Kawaramachi and Shijō stations. Riverside area outside for picnics. Note that the bedroom has no windows and there is no communal lobby/bar to relax in. Location and value are great. Recommend if you want to be in middle of it all in Gion area!

Loved my stay here so much I ended up extending my stay. The rooms are very spacious and have a good sized bathroom. I loved they had a “wet room” equipped w a shower and bath tub. The bath tub also had jets so it was perfect to lie down in after a long day of walking the city. The pressure on the shower was excellent as well. It had a large tv with plenty of movies to watch too. Loved my stay here and would definitely return. The staff was helpful, friendly and overall had a great experience.

The hotel staff were very nice and the room (with no windows) was clean. The surrounding area has everything you could possibly want or need and it’s all within a walkable distance. The only thing that wasn’t great was the rock hard bed and pillows and the paper-thin walls through which we could hear EVERYTHING people in other rooms were doing as well as traffic noise. If you’re staying a couple nights in Kyoto and want a place that’s right in the thick of it, this is your place, but would not recommend staying here for anything longer than a couple days.
