Great location. The room was huge, not just by japan standards but even bigger than a lot of American rooms. Only gave a four star because the bed was not comfortable, too hard for me, but that may be good for others. Hotel was a bit outdated, and themed a bit weird but that’s not really important (to us), we just care about location and cleanliness and those things exceeded our expectations.

This is a beautiful retro hotel. Our room was very spacious and clean. The hotel manager was great! The breakfast was an authentic Japanese style. The only thing was the hot tub wasn't working.

Great location.

The location is terrific. The placeshows its age with dripping taps, etc There were old carpets in the corridors. But for the price, the size of the room courteous service and amenity, it’s terrific. Looking forward to return.

Cozy, character, amenities and location!

LOVED this hotel. It was near the heart of the Gion district, had a cozy retro feel, a HUGE spacious room (which I did not expect, knowing Japan) with 2 full beds pushed together vs only 1 full bed for 2 people. SO comfortable and spacious. Speaking of spacious…the bathroom was huge, complete with a toilet in a separate room, and a very large room with a jacuzzi tub, traditional onsen like showering area (not a tub, but an open wet room with a shower head and a stool), AND a private sauna. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Kyoto. Arigato gozaimasu!

Cozy hotel, a bit dated, off the beaten path in a nice neighborhood. Don’t bother with their Japanese breakfast. Not good quality. There’s plenty of coffee shops nearby.

Perfect spot in Kyoto

Such a cozy hotel with an absolutely wonderful staff. They are very good at English. The breakfast was traditional Japanese and very tasty. The room was super spacious and had very large beds. However, it was quite dark in the room as there were not many lights and the pillows were quite hard, but that seems to be normal here in Japan.

The first thing you'll tell you is that you cannot take a taxi directly to the hotel. They'll be forced to drop you off. Not far from the hotel, but the walkways are that of old Japan very narrow, a taxi just can't just get through. The front entrance is very nice. It has a combination of The 70s and 20s mixed would be my guess. It is not run down at all . Everything was clean and the staff was very helpful to me a foreign traveler. They request that you remove your shoes in in the door opening and put on slippers. If your feet are smaller, then seven I imagine you'll be just fine using the ones they provide. If you're like me, however, eleven inches only half my foot fits in their slippers. Now, for the fun part of the review, the area is amazing and they're R. Historical sites all around within walking distance of just a few minutes. I was there over the weekend, and there were countless live performances in the parks that we're all free to enjoy. As for food, it is plentiful and there is a restaurant every ten feet.It seems. There is a bus stop and a subway stop. Just a block away. If you want a tour, any place else.

Excellent value and great location in the gion area. Basic traditional Japanese breakfast included. Property is dated; looks like the 1980's in there but everything was clean and servicible. Rooms were large and had a japanese style in room bathroom.
