Great homebase for our first visit to Kyoto for our wedding anniversary. The staff was great!
Pros:

Good location within walking distance to sites, shopping, transportation etc. Free shuttle to and from the Kyoto train station. Quiet neighborhood off of the main street so not very busy with traffic. Yukata and slippers provided for the onsen. If visiting Gion again, wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The staff was amazing and very helpful as well.

Cons:

The free guided tour availability was VERY limited and we missed out. Wish the train station shuttle service ran later into the evening.
