Highlight of this hotel is the staff! They’re very friendly and will try to make your stay comfortable. If you need to stay in “Gion” the location of the hotel is good as it’s close to train stations you can walk to, however these mainly connect you to Uji and Nara. For all other destinations it will be either bus or changing lines.
The rooms are SUPER SMALL! I didn’t think it could get smaller than Tokyo rooms but it sure can! If you have large luggages, there’s barely room to move one you put them somewhere!
I’m not sure which rooms are in the basement but we were super lucky to NOT get a basement room! Firstly they won’t have windows (and windows help so much when room is small), the laundromat and onsen are also on that floor! The whole floor has a smell that is not nice!
The breakfast is ok. We ended up going out despite having breakfast on our reservation twice as the options especially for Western breakfast are limited.
Lastly the rooms need a renovation! The bed frames are worn out and there’s barely any charging space that is useable!

Breakfast was wonderful, environment, decor, spa/bath facility excellent, very friendly helpful staff, location excellent
no room to put things in the rooms! Please consider adding hooks on the walls so that travelers can at least hang extra bags and clothes as there is nowhere to put anything, barely any space for suitcases for two people! Hooks in many places would be very helpful!!!!!!

Great location walking distance to everything. The Onsen is fabulous!
Our room with a king bed was tiny and had no closet. Our sons room with two double beds was bigger so get the bigger room.

The location is great with restaurants and bus stops within walking distance.
There are only 2 washers and 2 dryers for the entire hotel. That was not nearly enough. People were waiting 10 deep to use the washer and dryers. Not good. There was one man on staff that was not friendly but the rest were.

Close to two different metro stations and all bus stops. Amazing location to explore Kyoto. The staff was so friendly and willing to help. The bathhouse was so clean and tattoo friendly.
Wish I stayed longer.
