Rooms were nice but barely big enough to open a suitcase. Good laundry facilities. Desk staff made us late for a booked train ride because he took nearly 45 minutes to process our luggage to be sent to the next hotel. (BTW - This is a great service offered in Japan if you need to move a couple of times during your stay. It means you don't have to go through the stress of taking luggage through the train stations and subways for a fee of course) They also provide average toasted sandwich breakfasts which are inflexible for those with allergies. Location was great. Close to Goyan.

This hotel fell significantly short of expectations. Despite booking a "superior" room, the space was exceptionally cramped and lacked basic amenities such as a closet. The discrepancy between the online photos and the actual property was stark; while images suggested a garden and inviting common areas, there was none of that.. these were limited to a single room.Further issues arose during check-in when the manager attempted to charge an additional fee, citing an incorrect reservation for one person instead of two. This occurred despite the room rate being consistent for both single and double occupancy on Booking.The hotel's lack of proper luggage storage facilities, forcing guests to leave their belongings in the entrance area, raises concerns about both convenience and security. Overall, the establishment's amenities and service standards do not align with what one would typically expect from a quality hotel.

Stayed for 4 nights in June. The hotel is less than 5 minutes to metro station and walkable to major attractions. The room was just like the picture, very spacious and free washing machine and dryer on the same floor. …

We just went to Japan for our 10 year wedding anniversary and stayed at the Gozan hotel & serviced apartment, it was easily the best hotel we stayed at!The reception to our arrival was so great and everything was explained to us (in excellent English might I add) including when to get our luggage down to the front desk for takkyubin (luggage delivery) to our next hotel. They even helped fill out the forms for that which was such a huge stress relief and we greatly appreciated it.The room itself was great, a bit small but still very comfortable! Our room had a washer/dryer which was a lifesaver since we packed very light for 2 weeks. The bathroom was clean and well stocked!Location is also great, a huge shopping mall, convenience stores and river banks within walking distance. We easily hopped into subways to sightsee all around Kyoto whenever we wanted. Can't recommend enough!
