    The room was a little small and damp (probably because it was raining when we were there).

    Good location, a quick walk to a lot of restaurants and downtown.

    The pillows were quite hard.

    The location is great, at the edge of gion, many sights and restaurants are in walking distance. The place has luggage storage and a laundry room. The room is relatively large for a Japanese hotel.

    The value for this hotel is very good considering the prime location. While I consider this hotel clean, this hotel is not luxurious or new/modern, so if that is important to you, this is not the place for you. The room itself is spacious, but there isn’t a closet or drawers for clothes. There’s 6 hooks on the wall and 4 hangers. The toilet and bathtub/shower are separated which is convenient. However, there is very little space in the bathroom to hang your clothes or place your skincare/cosmetics. An extra shelf of some sort would’ve solved this problem.

    The property is located very conveniently in the Gion area and close to a subway station and bus stops. The room I booked included a double bed and single, so it could accommodate 3.

    Shower area is small. Also, maybe they can consider putting something like a mesh to trap hair in the shower. I drop quite a lot of hair when washing, and by the time I finish washing my hair, the shower will become slightly clogged. I had to dig a bit down the drain hole to remove my hair before continuing with my shower.

    Location is very convenient with lots of food around and quick access to major attractions. Each room has an individual wifi and the room TV is connected to the respective wifi so I was able to screen cast.

    Towels were not changed unless requested. The room was carpet from wall to wall and there is a slight smell to it but not a deal breaker. Also the room was kind of small so it was difficult to have the suitcases around and no closet space (but that is also somewhat normal in Japan).

    The location was phenomenal, the staff very helpful. Quiet room but right in the middle of an amazing part of Kyoto. Laundry facilities were much appreciated.

    -Wifi not great. -Washing machines destroyed my clothes. Because someone else left Woll leftovers and it wasn't cleaned.

    Best location. Literally behind Geisha street and 1 minut walk to shopping street. Best location ever. Amenities are available at front desk. Very helpful staff.

    The location is great on the historic district of Gion. The room is comfortable, there was a kettle and cups. It’s possible to take some necessities like a toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo and etc. at the reception. The air conditioner helped survive the July heat.

And great to have the massage service in the hotel. It was helpful with our family of 3 having the separate toilet and shower. . We would definitely stay there again.

    I wish the rooms are a little bigger, but it is common to see smaller hotel rooms in Japan so it is not specific to the hotel. Overall we are happy with the stay.

    Great value for the cost. Great location near many attractions and close to bus and train station. The room is clean and comfortable. The facility also has laundry machines and microwave.

    My room 201, had two windows facing the street so there was a lot of noise into the evening. Lots of cars passing through slowly with their engine noise was quite disruptive to sleeping, especially during the weekend. Worth considering if you like to sleep early. They don’t have a restaurant or offer breakfast. Room carpet felt like to needed a deep clean.

    Great location right in the historic Gion Geisha district. Walking distance to a number of key sites and restaurants. Metro station across the road. Room was basic but comfortable. One of the bigger rooms during my stay in Japan. Had all the amenities I needed. Good coin laundry.

    It’s located in a prime part of the Gion and Hagashiyama area. While it’s very affordable and extremely well situated for metro, family marts, and food and beverage joints, its prime location also means that it can be quite noisy until about midnight.

    The property was clean, hygienic, very wet maintained, had extremely professional and polite staff, and great amenities, including an affordable laundromat, which the staff taught us how to operate.

    The only Bad thing about this location was that when we asked for them to contact a takkyubin for baggage delivery to our next destination, they couldn't provide the service, and we struggled to do it by ourselves.

    Good location in Gion, next to the Subway, buses, and convenience stores. Staff were pleasant, and the room were very confortable Wifi worked perfectly.
