Clean, spacious (compared to other for the price), good location. Biggest issue with this hotel is abysmal WiFi that is completely useless everywhere around. In roomit barely connects because of bad signal and even in a hall I had issues. If you need WiFi probably avoid this ace otherwise it's amazing.

Just a few minutes walk to the restaurants and about 15 minutes to the old town Kyoto. It has basic amenities but has clean room, and of course, small, Japanese standard. It’s quick cab ride from the train station. There is a 24 hr store a block away if you need anything including some hot food. I don’t mind staying here again.

The hotel is brand new and perfectly located in Gion, which allowed me to visit most of the tourist attractions by walk. Besides the touristic attractions, restaurants and shops are also walking distant. …

Great little Hotel in Gion - perfect location for a Kyoto stay and easy connections to all the sights. Rooms are clean and service always friendly and on the spot. One thing though: he bathrooms are extremely small and you have to close the bathroom door in order to not flood the bedroom. As long as you are no more than 6'' and have a normal body type it will just about work - bodybuilders or people with a few extra pounds might struggle either closing the door or opening it again.
