My partner and I loved staying here. The staff are wonderful and accommodating. The breakfasts were lovely and it was incredibly convenient for us to get around. The room was cozy and comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Not to mention, the overall atmosphere of the hotel was inviting and warm. Would love to stay here again next time we’re in Kyoto!

Great location, medium service
I’ll start with the positives. This hotel was on a great location, was clean, and had a fantastic onsen! However we were given the smallest room ever. There was no spot to put your suitcase down let alone sit anywhere besides the bed. We had to upgrade (even though we asked to upgrade from the beginning). Additionally the staff spoke very little English. And hallway smelt like smoke even thought the hotel was non smoking. Great location, great bath but would spend my money elsewhere.

Overpriced
The location was great and there are two coin washers and dryers that we used and appreciated after two weeks of travel. But other than those two considerations, we were disappointed.The room was tiny, but that is no surprise. The surprise was the complete lack of any effort to make the tiny space feel bigger. No hooks. No retractable drying line. No shelves on the wall.The tv did not pivot so you couldn’t lie on the bed to watch it -you had to sit on the tiny uncomfortable seat directly across from it. To top it off, the free breakfast was unimpressive. (And we have had a lot of breakfast buffets in Japan. ) Missed opportunities to make a 4 day stay more comfortable. The staff was pleasant and helpful, but we felt that we overpaid for this stay.

This place looks way more like a hostel that a hotel. Lobby full of flyers, cero facilities and when I did the check-in, they told me: “we don’t clean your room everyday for economic reason and we don’t chance the towels”. Of course I arrived to the room and it was smelly… imagine, hotel full of people walking around the city everyday, and they don’t clean the rooms, you tell me. My rate was about $400/night for a hostel, worts quality/price ratio of my 25 years history traveling. Changed to another hotel the next day, same rate amazing hotel, great room and full amenities. Plus Gion is no the area to stay, noise and to downtown, left the river is better, still centric, more chill, better area and better hotels

Great property in the middle of a very busy area. PERFECT location. Rooms are super tiny. Do not choose the room with king size bed, there is no space to walk around. Instead get the double bed room. The Onsen is ok. There are washers&dryers to wash your clothes.
