Really clean, large, and comfortable room. The front desk staff were friendly and very helpful in shipping luggage. The bathroom was really nice with the large counter and mirror, with both a shower and jacuzzi tub. Location in Gion was great as well, close to many attractions and steps away from a train station. The only downside was the lack of natural light in the room. Though there is one window, it opens up onto another building’s wall, so we kept it closed the whole time.
