Great location and the onsen is really nice- rooms are a little on the smaller side and can be hot, but the garden view we had was great. Kyoto is not a place to spend too much time in the room anyways so definitely recommend for the prime location in Gion!

This is in an ideal location for walking around Gion and Pontocho and the Nishiki areas. The hotel has a yummy breakfast and the staff is very helpful. Bonus we got essential laundry done in their machines ( easy to use) . The rooms are small but functional. The hotel is on a peaceful street and minutes from anything you would need. 10/10 my family will stay there again

The staff were excellent, location is excellent near restaurants and shopping but not on a loud street, lots of free amenities. The only reason I didn't rate this stay as a 5/5 is that I would have appreciated the opportunity to experience the public bath while wearing a cover/swimsuit, but they require full nudity.
