For the price, I’d rather pay less and stay further away. It was way too crowded at the hotel and surrounding areas. There is also zero amenities besides the laundry room which was a nightmare of its own. For a hotel of this size, there were two washers and one dryer. Guests were pulling other guests clothes out….

Great stay. Staff was amazing and helpful in every way. Beautiful rooms. Great neighborhood. Highly recommend.

Our room was very clean and a lot of spaces. Also, loved the bath room and tab with bubbles. The design of our room was nice! Staff were very friendly and fluent in English. The only negative point was their breakfast. The buffet had very few selections, not much Japanese food at all. There was no curry, even though their advertisement says they have. No chef was present to grill fishes or Kyoto’s traditional dishes. They could improve their break buffet, as I felt it was like **** Inn’s cheap breakfast fast food (e.g. toast, pancake, cereal, yogurt etc.)

Best place we stay in Japan. Friendly staff, recommended amazing places to eat and loved the coffee area. Clean and newer hotel

Excellent stay Loved our room Very comfortable

Neighbourhood to cultural area. Room is spacious and clean. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The self service coffee bar at the lobby is a plus.

The staff was amazing. The space had everything you needed and more. The hotel is in the best part of Kyoto. Charming and accessible to everything.

Nice, spacious modern room with luxurious bathroom. Stayed 3 nights. Nicest place we’ve stayed at during our travels so far.

Great stay. Comfortable beds, clean space, and the kitchenette is a nice touch. Taxi drivers do struggle to find the small street, though, so be prepared to show them a map of the navigation, if you’re not using an app taxi service. Nice Sri Lankan food in the cafe, too.

Easy check in, nice building, good mattress, great staff, directions to use the property are very clear and straight forward.

Beautiful hotel in a nice area. Very walkable. There were some areas that were not perfectly clean like the floor surrounding the bed and nightstands. A pleasant stay and would recommend.

We loved staying at this hotel. It is immaculate, beautifully designed, the staff are so helpful, and you are close to so many great sightseeing and shopping areas. The rooms are so comfortable and modern. Our room had a private sauna and oxygen bath, it was like having your own little private spa. It was quiet at night and we slept well. Can’t recommend it enough.

This is the perfect spot for your stay in the Gion area. The service is great, the location perfect & it’s such a clean, comfortable & beautiful hotel.

This was the perfect spot for a week of exploring Kyoto. Large comfortable & clean rooms, with a balcony, wonderful staff all around, & convenient to the best parts of Kyoto. I highly recommend staying in the Gion area & Gion Elite Terrace is the perfect spot.

Great stay.

We fell in love with this hotel! The location was perfectly situated to explore Kyoto and the staff were AMAZING! They were so friendly and helpful from everything to giving recommendations to helping us ship our luggage to our next hotel. The room itself was beautiful and large! We booked a double queen and the room had plenty of room for four adults to live in for 4 nights. AND THE BATHROOM!!!! The shower pressure was bliss, the soaker tub with the oxygenated bubbles was so nice after long days of walking and big enough to fit 6’2” men! The sauna was a nice touch as well! I would 1000% stay here again!

Extremely great location for exploring Gion area of Kyoto. Easy to walk to local attractions and take the buses. Property was clean and modern. Has laundry onsite if you need it. Stayed with a family of 4, 2 teenage daughters. There was sufficient room for all of us in one room. Bathrooms and specially showers were very nice. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Kyoto.

Love this quaint hotel ! Great customer service ! Would definitely stay here again if I ever am back in Kyoto!

Great location. Room was spacious. Staff very helpful. Lovely all around. I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Kyoto. And a balcony!

New and clean hotel. Great breakfast. Really appreciated the laundry being available in the hotel lobby. Only complaint is regarding the fee/penalty they charge for not returning the room card keys. I am sure it is in the contracts but they definitely don't mention it verbally to you when checking in.
