Warm and comforting experience with lovely staff. Very comfortable beds - a treat after rock-hard beds in other hotels on this trip. Plenty of free self-serve amenities, including free water. Good location for exploring Gion.
For exploring the rest of the city, it was a little out of the way - 20min up to Higashiyama train station for most of the farther trips.

The room was comfortable. The staff was great. The location is close to train station.
The 'western' breakfast was lacking.
We had bread/toast w coffee or tea.

Disappointing
Good location and bed was comfortable.
Overpriced for a four star hotel. The room had stains on the carpet floors. Accumulation of dust on/in the AC unit. Markings on the wall. Prepackaged breakfast. Unpleasant smell. Window would only open 2-3 inches or so, unable to enjoy view with blurred windows. Slippers and robe were of poor quality.

Friendly staff, good pastries for breakfast.
No laundry. Not good coffee in the morning and the iron was not the best.

Location was ideal. Quiet, off main roads but central to everything in Gion. Room and beds were comfortable. Water pressure was exceptional. Nice to get an extra pillow at reception. The staff were very helpful with a dinner reservation and ordering a taxi.
Breakfast was a non-event. Compared to included breakfasts at other hotels in Japan this was poor. Some bread options, a toaster, juice, and tea. For a western breakfast they should include some fruit and yogurt. They also need a proper coffee maker and not the one in the room.
Our room could adjoin with another room. We could hear the people in the next room word for word.

The location was great.
The property was more a motel than a hotel.

Good value for the location.
Photos are misleading. Much more run down than anticipated. You need to pay 2000 yen for room cleaning. “Breakfast” is water, juice boxes and pastries.

Location was amazing — right in Gion next to the geisha hub! Also the rooms are huge compared to what we’ve experienced in Japan so far. For two tall people plus growing luggage it was amazing
The breakfast was sad looking so we didn’t bother. Bring your own coffee because there’s a pod machine in the room but no pods!

Loved that it was in the heart of Gion but very quiet.
We stayed there for 6 nights and they didn't come to clean the place at all, so it started to get a little stinky. I think they should come to clean at least every 3 nights. The included breakfast was more or less non-existent. They only had bread and keurig style coffee.

The staff was helpful and polite. Our room was comfortable and clean.
I wish there had been some protein at breakfast - some meat, cheese, hard boiled eggs, for example.

Location in Kyoto couldn't be beat. We were right near everything. Easy to get taxis if we wanted to go farther away. Room was maybe a little outdated, but our stay was enjoyable. Breakfast had drinks and a wide assortment of pastries/bread. Did the trick.

Disappointing
The location
The room was very small, no air, no cleaning service, the toilet downstairs in the lobby were the worst i’ve seen in Japan. Definitely doesn’t worth what we paid!!! I will never recommend or come again

Wonderful
Beautiful historic building in the perfect location: right next to everything you could want in Gion, but not loud at all. Extremely clean and quite comfortable; the small private garden is a great touch.
Since it is a historic building, there are some tight spots. The drainage in the bathroom was also a bit subpar.

Disappointing
It was quiet inside. Mattress was comfortable.
Staff not as friendly as most other hotels in Japan. Lobby was decorated poorly and had a bad energy. Bathroom in room was old fashioned, toilet wasn’t good, shower was gross with the vinyl curtain. Hotel felt really outdated, room was uninspired.

We love the location which is walking distance to some attractions. The place is clean, homey and the staff are so amiable.
None!

The views of the across-the-street temple were great. We loved the complimentary robes you could use during the stay for free and take from the reception along all kinds of toiletries, very nice of them.
The bathroom wasn't soundproofed at all, one could hear everything that happened in the bathroom very clearly.
Thank you for your information!
