What an amazing stay in the heart of Gion with an easy walk to everything. Lots of eateries close by and a 2 minute walk to the station and Main Street of Gion. The service is excellent and we loved the amenity bar stocked with toiletries. The room is comfortable and quiet you just need to use your ninja skills to get in and out of the bed we booked the king room so there is no space to walk around the bed. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location and the onsen is really nice- rooms are a little on the smaller side and can be hot, but the garden view we had was great. Kyoto is not a place to spend too much time in the room anyways so definitely recommend for the prime location in Gion!
