My experience here was alright. The room wasn’t the most spacious — I could open my two suitcases, but it was a little annoying having to walk over them and maneuver around. The hotel does have a laundry room, which I appreciated. However, just a heads up: the dryers don’t really dry. I was surprised to find my clothes still quite wet even after hours in the dryer. I wish the staff had mentioned this beforehand when I asked them about the laundry room. I later realized this might be common in Japan, where people often air-dry their clothes instead. Just something to keep in mind!

This hotel is situated at the prime area of Gion. Subway is just a few minutes walk away. Most of the attractions are nearby. The staffs can speak English very well and very helpful. Room is adequate for 3 persons. I will definitely booked this hotel the time I visit Kyoto.

The hotel is located in Gion area and it was amazing. The staff speak English and the check-in/check-out process was quick and smooth. The rooms are spacious and clean. Few steps away is the Hard Rock Cafe and the main shopping street is across the hotel from the main road. Gion is packed with sightseeing shrines and temples. Some of them have a light show at night. This hotel is awesome. I’m definitely coming back again

Great location between the busier shops and the more traditional areas of Gion. This hotel room was huge compared to some of its counterparts in Tokyo. Comfy bed, great bathroom and shower. Walking distance to trains and buses. Loved it.

The hotel lobby was very basic and very small, but the room we stayed at was surprisingly big (compared to the other hotels we stayed at). The area was overall safe to walk even late at night. The man who checked us in and out, Mr. Niimi was pleasant, polite and helpful. He was very helpful in getting us a taxi to take us to the train station. On the day of our departure, we asked to store our luggage and the woman at the front desk (she was very petite, had a short “bob” hairstyle and wearing a mask) was rude and she was rather short/terse with us. She wasn’t friendly and it was difficult to talk to her. That’s why I only gave 4 stars for staff and service.
