The hotel has an amazing location close to everything. Rooms are comfortable. The spa was clean and a nice option after days of walking. The common areas (bar, restaurant) are crowded because they are small relative to the number of guests. The lobby area is nice but during check in times it is extremely busy as well.

Apparently there was a light at the door of our room that needed to be illuminated to get room cleaning. It was not mentioned to us and we had not room cleaning, water etc. for our entire stay. Also the hotel had a shuttle to the train station which was not mentioned to us. The property was lovely but communication needs to be much, much better.

Back felt mattress by second day. As solo traveler I would have preferred desk or table and appropriate chair instead of low, far back leaning chairs with coffee table. Though I saw luggage stands throughout the hotel, there was none in my room. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast buffet was outstanding.

This hotel is wonderful! We picked it based on location, price, and reviews. The staff is fabulous. On arrival, for check in, we were offered comfortable chairs, hot tea, and a warm washcloth. Madoka, the staff person who welcomed us, was so amazing. She showed us to our room, explained how everything worked, got me a large size kata to wear to the public bath, and was just so sweet and nice. The location is great, in the Gion neighborhood of eastern Kyoto, close to many highlights and historic places. For example, Kennin-ji, the first and oldest Zen temple in Japan, is one block away. There are also lots of great restaurants nearby to choose from. The hotel has a lovely spa / public bath, open from 3 pm to 10 am. I went every morning on our 3-night stay, and had it to myself 2 of 3 days. Another highlight of this hotel is the free neighborhood walking tour. It leaves at 10 am & takes about 90 minutes. Kenta, our tour guide, was great and full of local knowledge. You learn so much more on a guided tour than you can by just walking and looking on your own. History of major sights, and also explanations of little hidden things right in front of you. Breakfast buffet was excellent, a variety of Japanese and western items. Even a tempura chef! Our room was spacious and clean, modern with a nice aesthetic. And, the price was quite reasonable. I would definitely stay here again.
