The first thing you'll tell you is that you cannot take a taxi directly to the hotel. They'll be forced to drop you off. Not far from the hotel, but the walkways are that of old Japan very narrow, a taxi just can't just get through. The front entrance is very nice. It has a combination of The 70s and 20s mixed would be my guess. It is not run down at all . Everything was clean and the staff was very helpful to me a foreign traveler. They request that you remove your shoes in in the door opening and put on slippers. If your feet are smaller, then seven I imagine you'll be just fine using the ones they provide. If you're like me, however, eleven inches only half my foot fits in their slippers. Now, for the fun part of the review, the area is amazing and they're R. Historical sites all around within walking distance of just a few minutes. I was there over the weekend, and there were countless live performances in the parks that we're all free to enjoy. As for food, it is plentiful and there is a restaurant every ten feet.It seems. There is a bus stop and a subway stop. Just a block away. If you want a tour, any place else.

Great location. The room was huge, not just by japan standards but even bigger than a lot of American rooms. Only gave a four star because the bed was not comfortable, too hard for me, but that may be good for others. Hotel was a bit outdated, and themed a bit weird but that’s not really important (to us), we just care about location and cleanliness and those things exceeded our expectations.

This hotel is beautiful and we were very pleased with our room. The bathroom felt luxurious! We also couldn't have asked for a better location, it is in a quiet area next to a museum, shrine, and picturesque roads. The nearby park was in full Autumn colors. Breakfast was set out on trays for all guests, and consisted of traditional Japanese foods. The coffee was delicious. The staff spoke English and were extremely helpful with advice and letting us keep our luggage on site for a few hours after we checked out. We were so happy here and would absolutely recommend this hotel to other travelers.

The hotel was lovely, in a quiet neighborhood. Staff was helpful. It was an easy walk from the Gion train station, but not many restaurants close by that weren't already completely booked for the evening. We had to walk a little further, but the atmosphere of Gion was delightful.

Cozy, character, amenities and location!

LOVED this hotel. It was near the heart of the Gion district, had a cozy retro feel, a HUGE spacious room (which I did not expect, knowing Japan) with 2 full beds pushed together vs only 1 full bed for 2 people. SO comfortable and spacious. Speaking of spacious…the bathroom was huge, complete with a toilet in a separate room, and a very large room with a jacuzzi tub, traditional onsen like showering area (not a tub, but an open wet room with a shower head and a stool), AND a private sauna. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Kyoto. Arigato gozaimasu!
