Das Frühstück im Zimmer mit selber Brot backen war nichts für uns. Wir hätten lieber einen Frühstücksraum gehabt. Wir haben dies bei der Buchung nicht realisiert und hätten ansonsten definitiv das Frühstück weggelassen.

Beautiful accommodation in the heart of Gion
Pros:

We absolutely loved this hotel! The room was huge, much bigger than we were expecting, and we loved the cool design and artworks. Unbeatable location directly across the road from Yasaka shrine. Despite the bustle outside it was quiet in our room at night. We loved the in-room vegetarian breakfast and the make your own bread was delicious and a lot of fun. We also loved the evening activities in the foyer, matcha and wagashi and traditional games. Great facilities, laundry was easy to use, and the lobby area with amenities was very convenient. Staff were very helpful and arranged luggage forwarding for us. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable, clean, convenient and cool.
Pros:

Well presented and perfectly located. Clean, comfortable and relaxing design. The evening activity was a delight and our host even more so, but we stumbled on it almost by accident. Lovely stay close to the shrine, trains, stores and shops - a good escape from there being quite a lot of tourists around.

Cons:

Couple of minor points I raised with hotel - very minor not worth ruining a positive review!
