The room was very large by Japanese standards and the location couldn't be better. And the price was very reasonable. Great value.

Excellent value and great location in the gion area. Basic traditional Japanese breakfast included. Property is dated; looks like the 1980's in there but everything was clean and servicible. Rooms were large and had a japanese style in room bathroom.

This is a quirky unique hotel in a fantastic location. Quiet street in a busy area. The place is very clean and the room was huge by Japanese standards. Great bathroom. I don’t think the hotel has been updated in 30 years. It’s kind of cool— a throwback to an earlier era. Vintage. But takes some getting used to. Free breakfast didn’t appeal to us. We skipped it. One complaint is that the windows lacked blackout blinds. If you are light sensitive, you will want an eye mask.

Quirky hotel on a beautiful, quiet side street. The location is excellent being close to the historic streets of Gion, bus stops and main roads/shopping districts and yet despite all the nearby hustle and bustle, as soon as you turn into the road that the hotel entrance is on you enter an oasis and calm and quiet. We visited during the Gion Matsuri period and everything was within easy walking distance. Excellent nearby restaurants. Breakfast is Japanese style and was plentiful, well organised and tasty. Be aware that there are no alternative breakfast options. Our room was probably the biggest hotel room I have ever had in Japan. It felt a little dated but was perfectly clean and comfortable so don't let that put you off. I would happily stay here again. The bathroom was a Japanese wet room style with the shower before the bath. Works just fine but is worth noting for the benefit of western visitors.

The location is very convenient to everywhere and it’s the reason I recommend this hotel. The space of room is pretty big with a bathtub and shower room. Breakfast is traditional Japaneses style. There is a coffee area serving hot and ice coffee after 3pm. I wish there is a work table and chair so I can work in my room.

I have stayed at Sasarindou a number of times over the last 10 years, and was really surprised to see the poor condition this time. Part of what I like about Sasarindou is the retro charm, but now it seems like even minor repairs are not being made to keep the hotel in livable condition, which is a shame because the staff is WONDERFUL. We had tape covering areas needing repair, bleach stains on the carpet, a dirty cover on our couch and a large rip in our curtain. There were large cracks in the walls around the property. The mattress was also extremely uncomfortable and worn out. Our room smelled of old cigarette smoke and our friend’s room on the first floor smelled damp and “green” if that makes any sense- as if moss or algae was growing in it. Although the rooms seemed clean, I felt too uncomfortable to use the shower or leave my clothing on the surfaces. A side note but relevant- I brought my friend, who has cancer, on this trip. Our itinerary shifted by two days due to her treatment schedule changing. Although I booked nonrefundable rooms, I figured they would be willing to shift our booking since we were keeping the same number of nights. They declined. In the end, despite losing the money for 2 nights for 2 rooms AND paying to stay elsewhere, I am glad because after the first night we were more than happy to move to a different hotel anyway due to the poor condition. I hope they fix up this hotel because it was a real gem in a very nice location.

Location is ideal - right off train station, next to harbor (for those taking a cruise), near major attractions, restaurants, and shopping. It is also very safe and quiet, even at all hours of the day and night. We would definitely stay there again!!

The first thing you'll tell you is that you cannot take a taxi directly to the hotel. They'll be forced to drop you off. Not far from the hotel, but the walkways are that of old Japan very narrow, a taxi just can't just get through. The front entrance is very nice. It has a combination of The 70s and 20s mixed would be my guess. It is not run down at all . Everything was clean and the staff was very helpful to me a foreign traveler. They request that you remove your shoes in in the door opening and put on slippers. If your feet are smaller, then seven I imagine you'll be just fine using the ones they provide. If you're like me, however, eleven inches only half my foot fits in their slippers. Now, for the fun part of the review, the area is amazing and they're R. Historical sites all around within walking distance of just a few minutes. I was there over the weekend, and there were countless live performances in the parks that we're all free to enjoy. As for food, it is plentiful and there is a restaurant every ten feet.It seems. There is a bus stop and a subway stop. Just a block away. If you want a tour, any place else.
