This place exceeded our expectations with wonderful, English-speaking staff, great location, and comfortable room.
Pros:

Extremely convenient location - walking distance to a lot of food & entertainment (train station & bus stop also nearby). Room was clean & spacious with mini-fridge, microwave, and all the other little things that make the stay comfortable. Free laundry onsite, which was a big plus in the summer when we got sweaty easily & needed multiple showers a day.

Cons:

Nothing.

So far the best we had in Kyoto
Pros:

A charming gion central hotel, the staff was the most helpful and gracious we had in Japan, they really made the stay perfect. Helping with everything, from advice to reservations and just being super super nice. Hotel itself is clean, charming Japanese style (but modern where it should be) with a nespresso machine in the room itself which is quite a nice feature in these price ranges. Location was incredible especially as some of the festival parades go past the hotel which was really special.
Will definitely be back!

Cons:

Breakfast is just croissants (and nice beverages). And gluten intolerant people will have nothing to start the day with. But besides that, perfect!

Unbelievable service
Pros:

Great location, spacious room but the best thing was the staff who really went out of their way to help and resolve any problems you may have. They are all super-nice. I lost my wallet in the taxi after I checked out and they got it back from the taxi company service and confirmed it was there on the telephone within minutes. Also assisted with restaurant bookings before we got there. Amazing service from thoroughly nice people.

Excelente e charmoso (e pequeno) hotel em Gion
Pros:

Localização, na região de Gion, perto de Pontocho (ruelas pequenas repletas de restaurantes, alguns com vista para o rio Kamo), espaço amplo do quarto, que tem pia, micro-ondas, cafeteira nespresso e geladeira. O hotel é pequeno, apenas 10 quartos. A noite, não tem porteiro, o hóspede entra com senha eletrônica.

Cons:

O acesso ao quarto era por escada. Não foi um problema, mas não sabíamos.

Pros:

We loved the friendly staff who really care about the guests, the cozy room that is tastefully decorated, the perfect location along the river, close to the center but quiet and not crowded. A great boutique hotel that makes you want to return to amazing Kyoto again.
