Close to everything but quiet

The location in the less hectic Gion area was perfect. The staff was incredibly kind and the room was huge and thoughtfully appointed. It felt like a splurge but was actually a good value. I highly recommend this small hotel.

Though it is a 2-star hotel, the room and amenities provided were excellent! They provided multi adaptor, face masks, hair straightener for the ladies etc and these were very well thought of. The location. Is just beside the beautiful Kamo River and between Gion and new Kyoto. Will stay here again in a heartbeat !

Great location. The room was very comfortable and everything you could possibly need is provided, including some things you didn't know you needed, like an eye mask that heats up, a bathtub with microbubbles that clean you, pour over coffee , dishes, pajamas, a vanity. I would stay here again.
