Room was very clean ans spacious. It also had a small kitchen and a washing machine and it was really handy. Located right center of Gion and really recommend this place to anyone. Only thing is that they dont do room clean, If you want room to be cleaned then you have to pay for it.

We had some issues with check in but the front staff were very patient. Use Apple Pay our CC and online wouldn’t work for taxes. Hotel was great. Clean and perfectly located. Easy to get on train and conveniently located. Noticed beds are harder out here than in US-just heads up.

Very modern, nice and clean hotel. It would have been great to have some tea and coffee, though. The one major downside was that the place was hard to find. There are three Minn hotels within a block with very similar names, and this hotel isn’t listed in Google and Apple Maps, so finding the place was a trial and error operation.
