Its a good location and the rooms was well appointed. The highlight of the stay was the local tour provided by the concierge. Super interesting and he was really knowledgeable. There a few things of no huge concern that we didn't care for - the bar was tiny and the staff generally we not very flexible in our requests. The public onsen facility if good.

Beautiful hotel nestled in the Gion area. As soon as you enter they have a beautiful relaxed seating in the lobby area with a view of the garden. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are good size and beds are very comfortable and clean. Bathrooms and showers were great! Location is perfect - very walkable towards the Gion sights and shrines on one side, and across the river in the other direction are some amazing restaurants, bars and shopping that one can walk to. Would highly recommend.

Nice hotel. Nice touch to have the mini bar included. Amazing bathroom products Having a divider between the bedroom & lounge room meant you couldn’t watch TV whilst in bed. A little intense on all the formalities of shoes off, what towels to take to onsen, what robes to wear to onsen etc…

The hotel is tucked away in the heart of Gion, offering a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional Kyoto charm. First off, the hotel is incredibly clean. The rooms are spacious, well-kept, and thoughtfully designed, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. The attention to detail was evident, from the fresh linens to the well-maintained amenities. One of the biggest perks of this hotel is its location. It's just a short walk to the famous Kiyomizu-dera, making it a great base for exploring Kyoto’s historic sites. The Gion district itself is beautiful to walk through, especially in the evenings when the streets light up with lanterns, and you might even catch a glimpse of a geisha or two!
