Great hotel right in the heart of the city. Super convenient to be able to walk to Nishiki market and the surrounding areas with ease each day. The staff was super friendly and the amenities were great. Even had an onsen in the basement to wind down after a busy day. Would certainly recommend!

Good hotel in a lovely central location. Very nice staff and good breakfast. Room very small but as we only stayed one night it wasn’t a problem.

Really nice hotel in Gion with tons of action, shopping, restaurants, temples, and tourists attractions nearby. Excellent service, tasty Japanese/ Japanised Western buffet breakfast, and even a onsen-style public bath (separate for men and women). Easy to get to with train and subway.
