The hotel is in a strategic area in Gion, offering clean and comfortable rooms, although the small window is a minor drawback. The service is impeccable, especially at the reception desk, ensuring a pleasant stay. The location is very convenient, close to the Gion Shijo train station. The dining experience, particularly the seriously yummy Pork Belly, adds to the overall positive impression. The facilities meet expectations, providing all necessary amenities.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern, equipped with all our essential products. The service was exceptional, especially at the reception desk. The location was perfect, situated in a strategic area in Gion, making it convenient to explore the fantastic district. However, the dining experience, particularly with oysters, fell short of expectations. Overall, it was a great value for money.

I found the hotel to be located in a prime spot near the train station and close to the beautiful Tatsumi bridge. The rooms were equipped with all the essential products and had necessary equipment, although the small window limited the natural light. The service at the reception desk was top-notch, but I was a bit let down by the laundry service. The traditional area surrounding the hotel added to its charm, making it a convenient location for exploring. However, the lack of dining options serving home-made Majorcan products was a downside. The facilities were sufficient for my needs, although the price could have offered more value for money.

The hotel is perfectly situated in the vibrant Gion district, making it easy to explore cultural attractions. The rooms are comfortable, equipped with all essentials, and offer a glimpse of the city through a small window. The service is efficient, especially at the reception desk and laundry facilities. The location is ideal for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the heart of Kyoto. Though not directly from Kyoto station, it's conveniently close to the train station and offers easy access to attractions like the Tatsumi bridge. The dining experience, while lacking variety like corn flakes, is satisfactory. Overall, the hotel offers a great value for a memorable stay in Kyoto.

The hotel is situated in the vibrant Gion district, making it very convenient to explore the traditional area and the nearby attractions. The rooms are cozy, with all essential products and a spacious bathroom; however, the small window might not suit everyone's preference. The service at the reception desk is top-notch, and the laundry service was efficient. The location offers easy access to public transport and is near the Ghion Shijo train station. The dining experience with refined dishes was a delight, although options could be more varied. The facilities provided were modern and well-maintained, adding to the overall experience.
