Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a prime location in the centre of the Gion area, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms offer a comfortable bed, but the limited storage space can be a bit challenging. The service is attentive, yet lacking a bit in providing that extra touch of Japanese hospitality. The dining experience is excellent with a wide variety of Japanese selections. Overall, it's a great choice for its location and dining options, though some room amenities could be improved.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern, the staff provided excellent service, and the location was perfect for exploring the Gion district. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the facilities could use some improvement.
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the Gion area, near the train station and surrounded by delightful restaurants. The rooms are equipped with blackout blinds, offering a peaceful retreat during bright summer mornings, but storage space is limited. The facilities are top-notch, but the service could enhance its Japanese hospitality touch, perhaps with more traditional interactions instead of a cocktail host.

The hotel is ideally situated near the train station and surrounded by delicious restaurants in a quiet street. The service provided could enhance its Japanese hospitality touch, but the on-site laundry services are convenient. The dining experience offers a good variety, especially in Japanese selections, though Italian dishes are also available. The rooms, while featuring a nicely sized king-size bed, could benefit from additional storage options. Overall, it's an excellent place to start exploring the historic charm of Kyoto.
