快適、また利用したい
Pros:

朝食はシンプルですが、温かいご飯とお味噌汁はありがたい。ジュースとコーヒーも。
ロケーションが抜群にいいのに大通りに面していないので静か。
部屋が広くバスタブも洗面所も広くてゆったりしてました
部屋に持っていけるコーヒーもおいしかった
お水もたっぷりもらえて助かりました、アメニティーの化粧品が豊富でグッド

Cons:

全体的に古いので最新の設備を求める人にはお勧めしませんが、レトロな雰囲気が素敵です。Wi-Fiなどはあり不便は全く感じませんでした。

Fijn ruim verblijf in Gion
Pros:

De locatie is top! Je loopt zo naar allerlei mooie tempels, naar de rivier en door de leuke straatjes van Gion. Daarnaast zit je naast een station.

De kamers zijn heel ruim, dat was super fijn! Ook een fijn bad.

Cons:

Niet zo veel eigenlijk,

Sommige dingen zijn een beetje gedateerd, maar was allemaal nog goed te gebruiken.

Great location
Pros:

Location in Gion was amazing

Cons:

Very unsafe for kids and adults with dangerous stone platforms jutting out on floor and near sofa. My son hit his head while just sitting on the sofa not realizing the white marble platform was protruding over the sofa back. Lot of random steps in the room also. Breakfast was entirely Japanese with no options for vegetarians other than juice and rice.

Comfortable beds, quiet location but walking distance to public transportation.
Pros:

Rooms were large for Japan. Comfortable beds, simple Japanese breakfast, and great location in a quiet Gion neighborhood. Thoughtful self service amenities. Towels are a bit old and thin but we didn’t mind. The most direct way to get to the hotel was taking bus 206 directly from Kyoto station (assuming you don’t have large bags.) We walked to 2 different subways stations, Pontocho Alley and many restaurants and shops. Lovely stay. We would stay here again.
