Great location - walkable to hundreds of restaurants in minutes and easily walkable to Gion (maybe 10 mins) and a lot of the main sites around there. 5 mins walk to a metro station. Room was great (we had a cinema room). Bar has a nice view out over the city and lovely ambience. Breakfast was solid and better than most in Japan. Staff also fantastic as well. This was our best hotel stay in Japan. Very relaxing and it helped make Kyoto for us. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
