Pros:

The staff was very accommodating and exceptional. We had an issue that our plane arrived late and they held our room and gave us a refund for one day and still allowed us to stay in the room that morning.

Pros:

Excellent location in very lively part of the city.

Cons:

Nice snacks were offered in the afternoon in the lobby. I would have liked them to be offered for a longer time, until the early evening.

Empfehlenswertes Hotel in Gion
Pros:

Sehr gute, zentrale Lage.
Der Onsen war ein wirklich schönes Erlebnis.
Das Personal war hilfsbereit und freundlich. Außerdem konnten wir unser Gepäck nach dem Check-out kostenlos verstauen.
Die Bar hatte bis 23:00 Uhr geöffnet.
