Great location

Great location near Yasaka Shrine, Kennin-ji, and Kiyomeza Dera. Very much enjoyed the Japanese style breakfast buffet. The hotel was undergoing renovation work in April 2025 so the exterior and all windows were entirely covered, so some travelers will object.

The location was perfect! Very walkable to all there is to do in Gion. Bus stop in front of the hotel and a short walk to the train. The room was very spacious for us, especially after coming from a tiny room in Tokyo it felt huge. Temperature control in the room was nice. The breakfast buffet could be better, it was a bit expensive for what it was.

You won't have a better location, right in the Gion district, a few blocks from practically everything in the area, close to both train and bus stations, the attention of the staff was excellent, very friendly, and the rooms, although they are very small like almost all in Japan, very comfortable and with a good rest.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was nice, and but for the renovations it would have been 5 stars from me. But the blocked window in the room really wasnt ok. Also out of 4 nights of our stay the room was cleaned only once, which isnt enough - even though clean towels were put outside our door without fail, so its in the plus side. The local was absolutely great, and all in all, the hotel was very nice overall...

Rooms are VERY small also property is undergoing construction which they warn you about it but it means they wrapped all the building with zero views. Potentially it’s better to get a hotel slightly further from Gion with better options. Bigger rooms and no construction .

Pros: Great location! Close to everything… very convenience for tourist exploring Kyoto. Cons: I book a room for 4 people and realistic we only got a room with 2 twin beds, ideally for only 2 people. Very hot at night, property doesn’t have AC and upon request you can get a fan delivered to your room.
