Big room, but old and very noisy. No normal breakfast.
Pros:

Room was big, but old.

Cons:

They had no breakfast facilities, the breakfast was brought to the room but it was not European, so we were always hungry afterwards. The location is good, but was no view and was terribly noisy at high and early morning.

Convenient and comfortable!
Pros:

The location of this hotel is incredible to subway and central Kyoto. The room is so spacious, especially compared to our rooms in Tokyo. The bed was the most comfortable we had in Japan. Staff were very kind and helpful, especially with helping to ship our bags to our next hotel. This is a property I will absolutely recommend to anyone I know coming to Kyoto.

Cons:

Did feel a bit dated in some places.

Pleasant room overlooking the river; in the Gion while with easy walking distance to public trans.
Pros:

Breakfast is okay. Japanese breakfast was very good; western breakfast was more Japanese. Needed to eat in the room because the breakfast area is very limited. This was okay because we had a large room with a very nice art deco table overlooking the river.

Luxury and location
Pros:

The property is perfectly located along the river in the gion district- it’s much quieter along the river and our kids loved playing down by it and watching all the animal life! Walking distance from a million wonderful food options and coffee shops and the staff was so helpful and kind. It’s truly felt luxurious! The bath and the beds were otherworldly and it felt like you were just being pampered at every step. We loved the comfortable cloud sleeping and are missing it already!
