Great location
Pros:

Location in Gion was amazing

Cons:

Very unsafe for kids and adults with dangerous stone platforms jutting out on floor and near sofa. My son hit his head while just sitting on the sofa not realizing the white marble platform was protruding over the sofa back. Lot of random steps in the room also. Breakfast was entirely Japanese with no options for vegetarians other than juice and rice.

Comfortable beds, quiet location but walking distance to public transportation.
Pros:

Rooms were large for Japan. Comfortable beds, simple Japanese breakfast, and great location in a quiet Gion neighborhood. Thoughtful self service amenities. Towels are a bit old and thin but we didn’t mind. The most direct way to get to the hotel was taking bus 206 directly from Kyoto station (assuming you don’t have large bags.) We walked to 2 different subways stations, Pontocho Alley and many restaurants and shops. Lovely stay. We would stay here again.

Disappointing, would not recommend for families.
Pros:

The location is excellent and really the only reason to stay here.

Cons:

Unfortunately the place smells of smoking. Our bedroom itself didn't smell that bad, but the small entryway to our room did and so did the lifts and corridors.
The place is straight out of the 80s which means the carpets and decor all need replacing. Unfortunately ot had a somewhat offputting vibe. The 'jacuzzi' in the room was out of order and the shower had black spots of mould on it. We didn't feel very comfortable here for a family stay.
