OK in a pinch
Pros:

The Gojo/Rokujo area is not much of a destination, and the property is a few blocks off the main street (Karasuma). Unfortunately, no one is on duty in the building. So, guests have to let themselves in with a passcode that is sent in advance. I had trouble with it the first night. So did the people who happened to arrive after me. The problem may have been my fault, but it wouldn't have been a problem at all had some staff member been present in the lobby.

After entering, one has to retrieve the room key from a locked mailbox. However, the lighting on the boxes is dim, and the combination numbers are hard to see.

Once in the room, I had a question. I called the phone number (on my own phone, since the room had no phone), and someone promptly answered.

The room was small, but the furnishings were new and in good condition. I chose Japanese-style bedding (futon). A small low table was near the futon, but it didn't have much usable space or a cushion to sit on. (I ended up using the bed pillow.) No clock in the room either. WiFi was stable.

To be honest, I only stayed here because other properties in my price range were not available. In the same situation, I might do so again. However, I would first try to find other options. If you're comfortable with a no-personnel, AirB&B-type arrangement, maybe you would like this place better than I did.

For a nice, inexpensive daytime meal, head for Fika cafe, in the nearby Shinran Kaikan.

Small Wonder
Pros:

Beautiful property, excellent location and dedicated staff.
Loved the contemporary Japanese aesthetic, and the feeling of being secluded, despite main thoroughfares, restaurants, shops and Gojo Station being only a couple of minute's walk. Easy access to Kyoto's several train networks, so you can reach any part of the city in no time at all. So many temples, castles, mansions and gardens to view, and culture to experience. It would be a shame to stay in a bland, generic hotel, so I urge you to give Karasuma Rokujo a try.

Good service at a great price
Pros:

Friendly reception. We can early around 12 noon and dropped our luggage off and did some local shopping. When we came back around 8pm they had our bags in our room already.
