    There is no bar / restaurant / onsen / lounge that we’ve found in most hotels in Japan but the spaciousness of the room made up for this

    Awesome location , very spacious and luxurious room. The washing machine was always available and we got a full supply of coffee pods when we checked in so no problem with either

    Large room. Large Comfortable beds. Big windows with View of the river. Nice quiet Location in the Gion district. Service minded staff that were Quick to answer emails. And they Even took care of a large beetle that mysteriously had managed to pass through the insect blinds at windows.

    A perfect location in historic Gion, but also near to two well connected subways and a bus station. Good size rooms, and a bathroom with a bath, not just a shower. Staff were so accommodating and helpful. Perfect hotel for our time in Kyoto.

    The staff are very nice and helpful, but they are not be around from 10pm to 8am. Room cleaning is on every 3rd day of your stay, you will need to pay extra for cleaning service, or you can ask staff to collect trash or change towel by request for free.

    The location is very convenient and perfect if you like to explore Gion. Many good restaurants nearby and nice river view from the room. The facilities are new, good size of room with very comfy beds

    Only have one laundry machine, so everyone was fighting for it 24/7. The street was a bit noisy.

    Nice, clean room with views to the street. Comfy beds and barhroom.

    There is only one washing machine and dryer for guest use so it was quite an effort to find it free. The dryer worked very poorly, we ran 2 cycles and still the laundry was wet so we ended up with washing hanging all over our room.

    The hotel is beautiful, lovely furnishings, lighting, blackout blinds, his and hers sinks, regular height bed but nice low table and sofa and tatami mat in the room so a Japanese feel without having to sleep on the floor. Receptionists polite and helpful. Kettle and fridge in the room. Location great, in Gion area, close to subway stations.

    Central Gion and very accessible. Thank you to the staff for assisting us to retrieve some luggage we left in our taxi when we arrived. You turned a stressful situation into something that was resolved within 20 minutes. Travelling with young children is never easy and you showed us professionalism that we were delighted to see after a long journey. Thank you.
