We had a very large room with a huge bathroom. We could easily put our stuff away and still have room to comfortable move around. The bathroom came with a large bath. The location of the hotel is also a big bonus, you can easily walk around Gion at night when the tourists are away and take beautiful pictures. The hotel had a 50's-60's vibe in it's design what was something different but nice from all our other hotels.

A lot of noise could be heard from outside when we went to bed from machines. This was not plesant but it wasn't to much that we couldn't sleep because of it. If you are someone who can't sleep with noise, I would not recommend this hotel. Also the breakfast was Japanese (what we knew in advance), but it wasn't buffet style where you could chose from a variety of Japanese dishes.

VERYYYY SPACIOUSSS!!! The room I got for single occupancy was like triple the size of standard Japanese hotel. I was super impressed by the size of the room with big toilet and big bathroom with jacuzzi!! The room was really clean with beds and sofa and big heater ( I guess during summer it will be AC). The location is 3-5 minutes walk to famous Yasaka Shrine and the distance to famous Ninenzaka and Kiyomosu dera is walkable. Very quiet. No noise at night which is really good. The hotel front desk can communicate in English and very helpful.

Breakfast was a bit small and cold but I didn’t expect much anyway. It was fine for me though it could be improved.

Great Location, very nice front desk person. Close to the Gion-Shijo Station, walking distance to Nishiki Market and easy to get to from Kyoto Station. The rooms are comfortable, the Japanese style tub/shower area was great, large water bottle in the room along with shampoo, conditioner (rinse) and body soap. Everything else is located on a table outside the elevator on the ground level. There are two or three entrances. One is open 24 hours and the others get locked after a certain time. It is right around the corner from a great Takoyaki restaurant and walking distance from a Family Mart. I would definitely stay again.

Absolutely NOTHING bad to say. I would stay here again alone or with my family. Definitely a great place to stay.

Our room was exceptionally spacious, a rarity in Japan, and we fell in love with the charming decor. The bathroom was equally impressive, boasting a luxurious jacuzzi bathtub – truly splendid. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of Gion. What amazed us even more was the surprisingly affordable price for such a fantastic experience. Both the accommodation and the neighborhood were simply perfect. I loved every moment of my stay and will definitely be returning.

One drawback was the limited breakfast options, which were exclusively Japanese without any Western choices available. This might be a consideration for travelers preferring a more diverse breakfast selection.

The hotel is in an excellent location, close to Gion Shijo subway. Access is by a lovely little laneway with a very peaceful ambience. Although the hotel is close to a busy road, our room was very quiet even with the window open, and had a great view over Gion to the mountains to the east. The room was much bigger than expected.

The bathroom was huge and included a spa bath, but the shower was hard to work out.

Very kind and available staff, great position near the center but in a peaceful back alley, large room and large bathroom.

Only traditional breakfast available (no western or "sweet based" options available), the bed was not very comfortable (a bit hollow in the center).

Room was very large. As with my earlier booking and room, the bathroom taps leak, there are occasional ants, and the style is dated, but the hotel just showing its age and no harm done. All staff from cleaning staff to front of house try very hard to do their best. Sometimes English is a bit hard to communicate with, but the location and the good staff attitude and price made this exactly what I wanted in Kyoto. I would return anytime!

already mentioned this

wonderful location, located right in the heart of gion district! the staff were super friendly and helpful, helping us with all sorts of things including getting taxis and escorting us into the taxi. there was always someone situated at the front desk, even late at night, and it helped us feel extra safe when it got dark. the breakfast was so hearty and homemade by an old japanese lady, it was great too! the rooms were a little old, but it was clean and our toilet was huge!

It’s location is great- central to the Gion area. Close to rail and bus transport. A surprisingly quiet space in bustling, tourist filled Kyoto. Twenty minutes from Kyoto main JR rail station. Staff were very attentive and helpful. The breakfast of traditional food (included in price) was presented Japanese style on a tray, with juice, green tea, coffee available.

Nothing to report here.

Great quiet location in the Gion district. Close to the Gion-Shinjo station and Shinjo-Kawaramachi stations for easy access to the rest of Kyoto. The provided Japanese breakfast was great.
