Excellent advice for the location and availability of the staff, the beautiful, spacious rooms should clean the air conditioning filters a bit...

The hotel has an excellent location, right in the wonderful Gion district. There are many well-known sights in the immediate vicinity, as well as countless restaurants, snack bars and shops.The room was very spacious and clean, the shower was a "whole room", something I've never experienced before. Funny: the toilet opens automatically when you enter the toilet room.However, there are no other things like breakfast, usable washing machines or anything like that in the hotel.I can highly recommend the hotel and would stay there again.

This hotel is part of a larger management group, so there’s only a receptionist on site from 8am to 10pm, but no manager or anyone available for emergencies. It also means there’s no personal touch from the owners.Our (comfort class) room was incredibly humid. We didn’t notice at first, but after a sleepless night, we woke up to find mould pretty much everywhere. The manager’s excuse was that they were waiting on a contractor, meaning they knowingly gave us a room that needed urgent repairs. On top of that, the AC was only in Japanese, making it hard to figure out. It kept turning on and off all night, swinging the temperature from 22°C to 30°C every hour. The panel was right by the bed, blowing cold air straight into our faces.They did move us to another room (which they called an upgrade, but it was basically the same as before). This one had a noisy AC, but we didn’t bother complaining again. Both AC units had warnings in Japanese saying the filter needed maintenance—and you could tell, because there was mould visible.The windows were locked with keys, so there was no way to get any fresh air.Speaking of the bed, it was poorly made in both rooms — the bottom sheet was too small, so by the middle of the night it had moved and we ended up sleeping directly on the mattress.To top it off, they don’t clean the rooms, citing environmental reasons. But honestly, this just makes things worse, as no one opens the windows, so the rooms stay humid and mouldy.

This is a very nice place. It is in a great location that is within walking distance to pretty much everything. The rooms are very clean and the service is there if you need it. We spent 4 nights here and it catered to all of our needs during our stay.

We stayed there for 3 nights. Location and service were great. Our room was spacious, quiet, snd very clean. As other people mentioned, there is no restaurant, bar, or self-laundry service, but we enjoyed our stay very much and totally recommend it.

Very well located and ideal for a city tour. This hotel is superb. The rooms are large with a seating area. The bathroom is very large. The automatic toilets are impressive.We stayed six nights and was cleaned once mid-stay.Too bad there is no laundry room in the hotel or breakfast available. Which requires looking for a solution in the neighborhood.
