Exceptional Hotel, Large Rooms, Great Value, Great Location
Pros:

The location was the main reason for our stay here. It was located only a few minutes walk from some of the larger temples in east Goin area. Its located a few minutes walk from the subway too.
The rooms were the largest rooms on our 2 week trip to Japan, which is hard to find. They were also exceptionally clean and quite.
You're also only a few minutes walk from the central ward and Pontocho Alley where most of the restaurants and bars are. I would stay here again for the value and location. 10/10

Cons:

Nothing. This hotel met all our expectations. For the value your are getting everything you need. No complaints. Would stay here again.

Décevant
Pros:

J’ai été logé dans une chambre très moyenne, passablement défraîchie et démodée. Il serait temps de faire une rénovation !

Cons:

Un peu de bruit et décoration défraîchie

We had an amazing stay at the hotel & a special credit goes to front desk. A special thank you to Desbin who made ou
Pros:

Clean & really comfortable room . All facilities in the room were superb. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Desbin at reception speaks fluent English and was very helpful in every aspects, sightseeing, food, shopping to the best wagyu restaurant in the locality. He definitely deserves a raise in representing the hotel beautifully leaving a lasting impression with guest. I will definitely be recommending this hotel to my friends & family.

Pros:

l'hotel non offre il servizio di colazione; la posizione è perfetta: l'hotel è vicino a piedi alle vie più caratteristiche del quartiere Gion. Il servizio e le dotazioni sono impeccabili

Pros:

The hotel is in the most incredible location in the very popular Gion district. It's tucked away on a quiet street and minutes from any/all transportation you could wish.
The staff at the hotel is incredibly professional and kind.
If there was a higher rating for this property especially in the cleanliness category I would have given it.

Cons:

There's not a thing that we didn't like!

This hotel was amazing. We feel so fortunate that we were able to stay there.
Pros:

The location of this hotel is incredible. Down a side street that was super quiet yet a couple of minutes walk to the heart of Gion and all the busses that could take you pretty much anywhere. The train line was a couple of minutes further but still super convenient.
We loved not having daily housekeeping. It's not really necessary and we like to spend longer in our room in the mornings so we didn't have to be interrupted by the cleaners. But man, the days they cleaned the room, it was left immaculate for us.

Cons:

I would have a hard time finding anything I didn't like at this amazing hotel. If I had to say anything it would be that if you wanted early check-in or late check-out they charged a nominal HOURLY fee. That's off-putting when one is already paying a pretty good price for the rooms.
