This is honestly one of my favorite hotel rooms of my life. I stayed in the room with a king bed. It was a spacious room that included a couch. It was easy to stream to the TV and the TV is visible from the couch and TV. The air conditioning worked great and the room also has a large tub with jets. The shower and bathroom were great as well. Finally, the room’s aesthetic is beautiful and looks traditionally Japanese. They also held our luggage for free after checking out. Also, the WIFI was good and the staff were friendly and spoke decent English.

Great place to stay in Gion. Easy walk to everything and taxis easily found. Hotel is quiet and rooms and bathrooms were in great condition. You cannot check in until 3pm but they stored our luggage. Also this hotel does not have food service on site but easy to walk to restaurants and family mart for beverages. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Fantastic property! It’s in a quiet area of Gion, which really slows down at night, but easily walkable to popular areas. The room and service was fantastic, zero complaints. We loved the private spa/tub on the balcony. The steam room was also a big bonus after walking so much during the day. I hope to come back here on our next trip to Kyoto!

This hotel is incredible. The lobby is beautiful, staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms are spacious and renovated. The location is ideal for exploring Kyoto but also on a quiet side street.

This hotel is a great starting point for the Gion area. Just a five minute walk to the bus stop, or a 10-15 minute walk to the rail station. All the staff were polite and courteous. We arrived early, so we were able to leave our bags there, and when we checked in, they were already in our room. It doesn’t have a pool or gym, but you can expect a quiet location with mostly adult clientele. There were a lot of beverages available without charge (water, tea, and beer). It was a nice mix of modern with traditional touches. Would recommend to couples. Added bonus for us, there were multiple grounded plugs for our American electronics.

Wonderful hotel in the middle of Gion. Amazing central location for sightseeing, shopping, and amazing restaurants. The on-site private spa is an amazing benefit as well, and is quite reasonably priced.

False rating
I don’t know why this hotel has received such a high rating. I was deceived. While it was clean and the front desk was polite, there was no window in my room at ALL and the room itself lacked any of the charm the property listing promised. It’s overrated, overpriced, and disappointing.

Love this modern and spacious hotel in Gion!
Amazing, spacious room and very clean hotel in a great area (Gion) in Kyoto! A bit pricey but worth it! The staff was very friendly and spoke English. The manager was very apologetic for not having our room cleaned by the time we came back to the hotel for the evening on one of the nights, but it was no problem for us! He was very kind and offered us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience. More than what we expected! We loved the spacious and modern room. The only negative was that the windows are all glazed so no view of the outdoors from our room, which was not really a major issue for us.
