A quiet place to stay in the heart of Kyoto near the Gion area.However some improvements could be made. First of all,the place is quite old and gloomy. The bathtub is also very small, none of us could sit or kneel comfortably inside it. There are not lock on the bathroom door or toilet door. The front door security system seems a bit light too. Even if housebraking is rare in Japan, we were not reassured when letting our luggage to go out for the day.I rated 3 stars to even the overall grade which I consider too high.

It's clean and the location is good. However, I think you can think of the bathtub as just for soaking your feet.
