Pros:

思いがけず、着付けサービス(宿泊者割)があり、子供達が着たい!と言っていたのでとても助かりました♡お部屋も綺麗でとても快適でした！

Cons:

デラックスルームの写真を見てどの部屋も浴槽がついていると勘違いしました💦基本は浴槽はないのですが、銭湯が周りにあるのでそれを使えば問題ないと思います！

ci tornerò!
Pros:

posizione vicina al quartiere di Gion, a piedi 5 minuti. si trova però in una strada non troppo servita, ma basta fare due passi per avere il cuore della città. struttura in stile giapponese, si possono affittare anche i kimono. personale gentilissimo.
metro vicinissima, anche se bisogna fare il cambio per andare alla stazione centrale.

We loved it!!
Pros:

The staff was very nice and helpful. Rooms are lovely and feel homey.
We had the futon bed and got a second layer from
The staff as the first one was too thin and it was painful to lie on for the first night.
The rooms are a good size and nicely done.
Comfortable and lovely place. The location is amazing and I would go back!

Cons:

Balcony doors are just some some sliding panels: not possible to lock but just to move into closed position (sliding panel) so make sure you don’t touch them or slide them open as they don’t lock and then you’ll have a gap which cools your room down when you sleep next to it (you can close curtains in front of it).

We experienced some cold days and the AC didn’t work to heat the room up - the room was very cold and the AC screen said it wouldn’t work due to filters needing cleaning.

Pros:

Posizione ottima, ci hanno concesso di dormire sul tatami pagando un sovrapprezzo (ho molto apprezzato)

Cons:

Non parlano molto inglese e fanno lasciare le chiavi alla reception quindi se ti serve qualcosa velocemente e loro si assentano devi aspettare che tornino

Compact Comfort in a Charming Kyoto Neighborhood
Pros:

We stayed at Gozan Apartments Kyoto and had a pleasant experience. The room was compact, true to Japanese-style living, but thoughtfully designed, clean, and comfortable.
The Higashiyama location was a highlight—quiet, charming, and perfect for exploring Kyoto. Great choice if you appreciate simple, well-organized spaces.

Cons:

The bathing area is quite small, but manageable for short stays.
