Very comfortable rooms for family of 4. We got 2 connections rooms and hence 2 bathrooms. The area of Gion is beautiful and you are graced with beautiful ladies in kimonos walking around. It’s however a 10 min taxi ride (~1600¥) to Kyoto station. Not very close to subway stations either but definitely walkable

Clean property and staff spoke excellent english which made it very easy to manage. The location was good and central enough to everything important and transport. Room was clean and the price was right. Breakfast was the usual mash up of Japanese and western food but did the job. Most times you get was you pay for but that said, it was good value here.
