Beautiful unique property with a combination of old Japanese charm plus modern Japanese culture.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Felt like a home away from home. Very quiet location but easy walk to train and bus routes, temples and the back alleys of Gion

オススメのホテル！
Pros:

施設が清潔で、スタッフの気配りやリクエストへの丁寧な対応でした。地下鉄の駅やバス停にもアクセスが良かった。部屋の防音もしっかりしていて、隣の部屋の声などが聞こえることもなかった。

Cons:

他の部屋でシャワーやトイレを使った時に？パイプを流れる音がかなり聞こえた。耳栓をすれば聞こえなかったけど…気になる人は気になるかも？

First stay in Kyoto
Pros:

Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. They helped us with all of our needs and saved us from making multiple expensive mistakes with sending and receiving our luggage.

The common area had an awesome selection of manga and classic video games.

Convenient coin laundry and easy entry/exit.

Super close to a lot of good food and interesting spots to check out.

Cons:

Our room had a constant slight smell of sharp, peppery body odour. Opening windows didn't seem to alleviate it.

First futon supplied with room was super thin, however staff swapped it with a thicker one after I requested. Super comfortable sleep after that!
