Mary, May 2025
Pros (+) Location was great - within walking distance of everything. The staff was exceptional and so friendly. Very accommodating. Loved the noon checkout! Big thumbs up to that. :)
Cons (-) We booked the king superior room - the entire room was bed with very little room to move around. However the bed was super comfortable and the amenities were nice.

Sarah, May 2025
Pros (+) Location was great. Very central. Close to both Gion area and more modern Kyoto just over the bridge. Transport links were great too. Breakfast was excellent with homemade Japanese dishes as well as continental/western dishes alongside on the buffet.
Cons (-) Most staff were friendly and helpful. There was one person who was at check-in and behind the bar who was quite condescending, so we avoided him after the first day. It didn't spoil our stay though as other staff went above and beyond.

Pros (+) Delicious breakfast! Waking up to eat was a highlight. Perfect location by Gion sights and public transport. Rooms although reviewed small are completely manageable. The onsen in the basement was quiet, clean and excellent!! Would stay again. Best location away from crowds in Kyoto (and I went during Golden Week.)
Cons (-) Everything was amazing but a slight musty smell on my floor, but didn't impact the room.
