Regret to book this one. The worst experience for the whole trip.
Pros:

Th location is good and the room was clean.

Cons:

We got the room on the 1st floor and it was terrible! We literally had no window in a room, actual there was a window, but in 20 cm form the other building which is restaurant and there was no reason to open it, the smell was bad and there was no sunshine at all. The room is dark and damp like a cave. The price and review are overestimated.
Also we booked twin room and had 1 extra bad in our room, so the room actually for 3 people. Why? We would better had a sofa than extra bad.
We checked in at 7:15 and at this time there were no any staff at the counter. In Kyoto where travelers like to wake up early it is too strange.

Fint, men værelset var fugtigt og lugtede
Cons:

Der lugtede virkelig meget og meget fugtigt på værelset. Og vi måtte have vinduet åben det meste af tiden. Vi skiftede værelse, men blev ikke meget bedre.

Great Location, Comfortable Beds and Friendly Staff
Pros:

We had a great stay at this hotel! Everything was very clean, and the beds were super comfortable. The location was amazing! Gion was just a few minutes away on foot, and we could easily reach the area on the other side with lots of restaurants and shops. A 7-Eleven was only a 3-minute walk away, and there were several subway stations nearby. The location was so central that we often didn’t even need to take the metro or bus.

We felt very comfortable during our stay, and the staff at the reception were very friendly. Check-in was easy, and we could also leave our luggage at the hotel.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!

Cons:

The only downside was the shower, as the water temperature kept changing between hot and cold.
