Perfect location. Highly recommend
Pros:

The location is everything! Really great for first time visitors of Kyoto. The staff were extremely thoughtful too. Really good food near by too. The coin Landry is very handy.

Cons:

Just note that the hotel itself is small and boutique- I wouldn’t compare it to a large scale 4 star hotel in terms of its facilities.

Modern yet traditional boutique hotel in a prime Kyoto location.
Pros:

Prime location in Gion area, near to lots of major shrines and temples, but also quiet and relaxing retreat from the crowds. Great blend of modern and traditional in terms of layout and décor. Friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of amenities available in the lobby.

I would stay here again for the price and location.
Pros:

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Extremely clean premises. Location was close to all shops and restaurants; right in the heart of Gion.

Cons:

Construction workers on the street every night at 9:30pm through the next morning. Woken up to noise throughout the night. Our room was facing the street.

Pros:

La posizione è davvero eccezionale, in una tranquilla viuzza di Gion che dà sulle arterie principali del quartiere illuminate dalle lanterne delle case da te. La camera era accogliente e con materiali all’altezza delle aspettative, il bagno superlativo, in particolare perché corredato di una magnifica doccia con sgabello e ciotola e una rilassante vasca in legno, per un piccolo rituale di onsen giornaliero.
Qualsiasi tipo di amenity viene fornito sia in stanza che nella lobby costantemente disponibile. La signora Soda, responsabile della struttura è una persona magnifica: solare, accogliente, divertente e curiosa. Ci ha fatto sentire speciali. Si tratta quindi di una piccola struttura ma con un’attenzione ai dettagli e al cliente davvero importante.
