- Helen (8/5): Great location, very small room. - Great location, 10 min walk to Gion, Kiyomizu station easy walk. Staff are great. Room is extremely small for 2 people, the size is available to see when booking. No room for 2 suitcases. booking. Beds are quite hard. Large step up into bathroom, hard for elderly.

- SIMONA (10/5): Struttura curata, personale top, quartiere meraviglioso. - Struttura accogliente, curata nei dettagli, set da bagno e pigiama a disposizione. Camera piccola per lo standard europeo ma per il Giappone abbastanza confortevole.
Nel cuore del quartiere Gion, super!
- Kettner (8/5): - Location
- oiga (9/5): - Schönes kleines Hotel, befindet sich im Stadtteil Higashiyama, also ganz in der Nähe von vielen Temple und Restaurants höchster Qualität. Es ist zwar nicht aufwendig ausgestattet, es hat uns aber an nichts gefehlt: das Zimmer war komfortabel und sauber, das Badezimmer war, wie in den meisten Orten in Japan, hochmodern gerichtet, und das Dekor war sehr minimalistisch aber ästhetisch.
- Adam (10/5): The location was away from the hussle and bustle so was quieter but close enough walk to get to the main shopping area. - The location was away from the hussle and bustle so was quieter but close enough walk to get to the main shopping area Nothing
- Sabine (9/5): Hotel ist zu empfehlen ! - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit ! Es gab zu wenig Platz um die Kleider auszupacken !
Leider hatten wir nur Aussicht zur Nachbars Hauswand und die Fenster konnten nicht geöffnet werden.
- Ana (9/5): - Everything. Needs a slightly more attention to cleaning.
- David (9/5): - Friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable room, good location for easy access to public transportation.
- Andrew (10/5): Great aussie reunion location - Amazing staff just so helpful 👏 , great location and quiet...... typical Japanese size rooms but beautifully managed 🤔 ....... love some hooks for coats
- Rex (8/5): - Location and amenities were good Staff were friendly and helpful to a degree but didn’t see able to do some simple things like booking dinner or transportation for a group of 8 people
- Sylvia (10/5): -
- DANIELA (6/5): En el corazón de Gion - En el corazón de Gion, puedes recorrer todo ese sector a pie perdiéndote por sus calles. Al estar tan en el centro de Gion puedes ir o muy temprano o muy tarde a las calles y templos del sector que son muy concurridos. Tiene un pequeño supermercado cerca No tiene metro tan cerca y está alejado de la estación de trenes. Para tomar trasporte público tendrás que caminar por lo menos 10-15 min
- Aichoun (10/5): -
- Juan Camilo (8/5): - The hotel Is located bit far from bus or train.
- Marisol (10/5): Relaxing and wonderful to be within good distance of everything in a not too busy street. - I like the location and the customer service, they were very helpful and cordial.

- Asal-Sandra (9/5): -
- Elizabeth (8/5): Excellent base for exploring Kyoto - The location was excellent for exploring Kyoto and it was nice to be in Gion. The hotel looked after our bags for several hours after checkout, which was helpful. Room was a decent size for a city hotel in Japan. Coffee pods were not refilled regularly.
- Vanessa (6/5): Okay aber im Nachgang hätte ich lieber ein anderes Hotel gewählt. - Lage ist okay. Sehr kleine Zimmer. Bad nicht beheizt. Lüftung/heizung im Schlafzimmer sehr laut. Nichts für Menschen, die es komplett leise brauchen. Bin über die vielen positiven Kommentare sehr überrascht und auch über die insgesamt sehr gute Bewertung (nach der ich be meiner Buchung natürlich auch gegangen bin).

Chambre confortable, très bien équipée, et joliment décorée.
Prix imbattable!
- Jeremy (10/5): Excellent séjour, nous recommandons et nous reviendrons ! Merci à l’équipe ☺️ - Tout, l’accueil, la propreté, l’élégance de l’hôtel, les explications de l’équipe, vraiment tout De partir …
- Kaisa (10/5): A wonderful time. - Staff was amazing. Everyone was incredibly helpful, even through language differences. Everyone was friendly, and when I had an issue with my luggage transport to another hotel the receptionist sat with me and helped me figure out the issue until it was solved, including helping me call a new hotel and booking a new reservation. Thank you!! Location was perfect - close proximity to many of the temples and shrines I wanted to visit, including Kiyomizu-Dera, Yasaka, and Kodai-Ji. It was also near the bus stop, and the area around the hotel was very peaceful and lovely to walk around, especially at night. Walking to the river (which took about 5 minutes) was a highlight of my nights. Overall I had an amazing stay and would highly recommend.
- Anand (9/5): - Room was spacious (for Japan), rooms well appointed with premium fixtures, staff were attentive, location excellent.
- Kyuyoung (5/5): Happy place if you don’t expect anything more than a comfortable clean room. - Clean aesthetics of the place. The moment you step into the property, you feel you are in a safe and warm space, which was nice for cold Kyoto evenings.
Filtered water dispenser is available for use just outside the room.
Very basic rooms but quality finishes and clean. The heating was quiet tricky to use. Both my parens’ and our room got cold towards the morning and woke us up.
- LOUISE (9/5): Excellent. Would highly recommend, and would stay there again. - Location. Could walk to everything.
So clean.
- Melissa (8/5): Hat uns gut gefallen. Wenn wir nochmal nach kyoto kommen dann gerne wieder dort - Sehr gut. Sehr zentral Bisschen kleine zimmer

- John (10/5): -
- Mirta (7/5): -
- Jordan (10/5): - This room was luxurious and central to everything. Walking distance to bars, restaurants and shrines. The staff were accommodating to not only our whims but all those of others which were staying. Including helpful information on sights to see and which public transport to catch. We will be staying here everytime we visit.
- Gidding (2/5): - Location good, near but not on the river and close to Gion, a tourist attraction. Clean. Inexpensive room rate. This hotel okay for Travellers on a tight budget, No amenities at all. Just a tiny, bare room.with no view. Unless, you are on tight budget, there are much better options
- Leonard (9/5): Excellent value for the money - Great location and service A little small
- Jenika (8/5): - Warm service, great entryway, nice to have a table, the location. Water seemed to leak from shower onto floor no matter how we positioned the shower head. Placement of towel rack in the bathroom is awkward.
- erick (10/5): - The room was very clean and private. The location was perfect; it's close to the train, good food options, and cultural sites. Also the staff is very accommodating and helpful.
- Marc (9/5): -
- Amy (10/5): Amazing stay! - We loved our stay at this hotel. The room was lovely and clean, the toiletries were great and the staff were lovely. It’s in a lovely area with lots of walkable restaurant! Couldn’t recommend enough
- lai (9/5): Piccolo albergo carinissimo al centro con personale gentile - la posizione nel cuore di Gion. Lo staff, tutti gentilissimi la mancanza di lavatrici
- Camila (10/5): - It’s small but cozy Nothing really
- Quentin (8/5): -
- Alexander (10/5): -
- Julia (6/5): This hotel was a disappointment. We stayed for 7 nights and were not satisfied with our choice. - Prime location in the heart of Gion district Musty smell in the bathroom - unpleasant and persistent
No heated toilet seat - very unusual for Japan and disappointing
Poor cleanliness - dust bunnies floating around the room
Noise issues - street noise and sounds from the stairwell clearly audible
The lack of basic cleanliness and the absence of a heated toilet seat (a standard feature in Japan) were particularly disappointing. The musty bathroom smell and noise made it difficult to relax after long days of sightseeing.
- Sapan (9/5): Great stay in the heart of Gion! - Fantastic property in the heart of Gion. It was a short walk from old Kyoto (Kiyomizu-dera, Ninnenzaka, Sannenzaka, etc.) and had many bars and restaurants nearby. The room was a decent size by Japan/Kyoto standards, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom functional. The staff was great and were very helpful. Would definitely stay here again! Nothing.
- Cory (10/5): Great stay, friendly staff, good value. - The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was easy to find and was very close to a lot of very popular sites. However, it was not crowded near the actual hotel. Television didnt work very well. But we didnt mind as we never really used it.

- Jessica (8/5): -
- Emmanuel (10/5): Genial si vas a Kyoto unos días! - Personal y habitacion amplia para ser Japón
- Vinh (9/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): - Kamers waren netjes en schoon. Comfortabel Kamer is wel klein. Met 2 losse bedden is het ook wel gedaan met de ruimte in je kamer.
- Konar (10/5): - The hospitality, clean rooms with amenities and location is really good Water cooler is present on the ground floor and we have to fill water ourselves so everytime we have to go all the way to the ground floor. Water coolers can be placed on all the floors .
- Hans (10/5): Ideal für die Erkundung Kyotos - Zentral im Geisha Bezirk Gion gelegen und gut angebunden. Tolles Service Personal!
- Kate (8/5): Great location for the best of Kyoto - Beautiful looking property, gorgeous street appeal.
Staff were lovely. Excellent position in the heart of Gion, easy walk to plenty of eating and drinking options and Kiyomizu-dera temple, easy bus to anywhere else. The 4pm check in is unusual and tough after a long day travelling.
This room was the smallest we’ve stayed in, as was the bathroom, just really impractical for the poor person in the couple sleeping up against the wall.
But … I should have known from the photos and description.
- Walter (10/5): Ci siamo trovati benissimo - Camere ampie il giusto, staff eccezionale! Mancanza di appendi asciugamani di bagni
- Hussar1776 (10/5): - We loved everything about our stay, the only bad part is having to leave it and Kyoto
- Katharine (8/5): If you’re set on staying in Gion, this is a great option. - Overall this was a great hotel.
Street noise was pretty minimal.
Room size felt pretty reasonable for Japan standards.
Service was incredible! There was a weird smell upon entering my room and after opening the window and turning on the air it went away. I alerted the staff and they also provided a spray to eliminate the odor.
My two biggest qualms were that (a) the light from the streets comes through window shades at night. I think this might be common for japan, but I did wear my eye mask, so was ultimately fine. (B) didn’t have a great view. Faced the street and the way it was designed didn’t allow for a lot of natural light to come in.
I liked being in Gion neighborhood, given this was my first time in Tokyo, but I found that I enjoyed other neighborhoods more that were away from all the tourists.
- Flores (10/5): - Me gusto el servicio del personal, muy amable, esta muy ordenado y limpio y bastante cerca de la zona a visitar durante las vacaciones, caminando se podía llegar a varios lugares de interés turístico. Y te brindan el servicio de orientación y recomendación de lugares cerca para comer, vsiitar, super 👍🏻
- romain (10/5): - Emplacement super au sud de Gion. Dès l’entrée un doux parfum dans le hall de réception. Rien
