The size of the apartment is very small.They say it has a full kitchen but there isn't even a chair or table to eat food. You don't have space to throw the garbage.

Decent hotel. The strong point is the location near Gion, the geisha district, the temple area and close to many buses and the metro. In-room washing machine to be used to wash sweat-soaked clothes. Very uncomfortable sofa beds. I recommend the nearby FRESCO to buy drinks, fruit for an evening fruit salad or sushi or chicken dishes ready to use and sometimes discounted after 6.30pm

Small hotel 2 steps from the enchanting streets of Gion, spacious and well-furnished rooms, excellent washing machine and kitchenette, laundry drying system a little slow, an overhaul of the system would be enough. Fantastic staff, attentive and available to satisfy our requests.

Affordable price and good location! The space for 3 people living in a 4-person room is a bit small😢There are only two chairs, so maybe we just stayed in a smaller room type, but everything else is greatThere is a washing machine, but no clothes dryer (but the bathroom can be heated to dry clothes)On rainy days, there are umbrellas at the door for rental, which is great. They are transparent umbrellas that are very suitable for rainy days and will not block the view~

Our room was very spacious and even had a kitchen and washing machine. There's a heater in the shower, so you can pre heat the bath before going in! Beds were comfortable too. The location is great with the Gion district and attractions like Kiyomizu-dera in walking distance. Nice restaurants around the corner too. Would definitely stay here again.
