    Reception struggled to suggest or book any restaurants when asked a couple of weeks before our trip. Also worth noting that reception don’t open until 8am, if looking for an early bag drop

    Perfect location in Gion, close to the subway and walking distance to the Hirashiyama sights. Laundry on site. Nice bar next door, good restaurants close by. Comfy beds & good shower

    Loved the location, the room, the service, but hate the attitude about accessing room early.

    I did not like we had no option to a room with a queen bed and only 2 double beds, so i had to sleep in a separate bed form my partner every night. I did not like that if the room was ready before check in time, they requested an hourly fee to go into your room, even if it was ready to go and did nothing special to prepare it. I understand not committing to having the room ready, even if check in was an hour later than 99% of hotels in the world, but if the room was ready, why charge to let the guest in early? Left a bad taste... especially for a guest coming the second time and for 5 nights.

    I loved the location, size of the room, Staff, bathroom.

    I don’t like the early check out, late check in, and even if the room is ready, if you want to go in to put your stuff in the room, they actually charge you per hour! I travel all over the world and 11:00 check out and 15:00 check in is standard. I can certainly understand not promising the room to be ready before check in time, but if it is, to actually charge for the extra hour or two is not acceptable in my opinion, this is the only hotel chain I have ever seen that done, in the entire world I have traveled. One other thing is the floors are Not thick, meaning you can hear people walking above you, but they did have earplugs available 😁.

    there wasn’t enough space for our suitcases. only one small collapsible suitcase rack, so we had to put our suitcases on the sofa and in the round sofa table. That pretty much ruined the nice neat look of the room and left us nowhere to sit other than our beds. also, there’s nowhere to sit that affords a decent view of the tv.

    great location, spacious, beautifully designed room, Japanese style.

    Tiny tiny wardrobe and no shelves unless you moved the kettle and cups etc. We stayed 3 nights and had to live out of suitcases on the floor. surely sufficient space to put your clothes is a basic hotel requirement?

    Great location, attractive room and comfortable bed.

    The only negative is there are no breakfast facilities but the hotel is so central we found so many different bakeries and cafes within a 5 min walk it’s not a big deal at all.

    Fantastic 3-night stay in Gion, the best hotel we’ve stayed at on our trip to Japan. Rooms are spacious, clean, modern, and the hotel has everything you need (laundry and ice machine, and any extra amenities on ground floor). Staff are very friendly and helpful with any questions you may have, and allowed us to keep our bags at the hotel before check-in and also for a few hours after check out. The location is perfect to explore central Kyoto and only a 10-min walk to the Chion-in Temple and Maruyama Park.

    This was one of our more spacious stays while in Japan. The property feels very new and the bathroom especially was high end. There was a small patio area that looked over the river. The location was also very central for all the activities we had planned. The on-site laundry machine was very convenient as well.
