The location was just perfect for us! 10-15 minute walk to bars, restaurants,shops and Nishiki market.

Lots of space with dining area and a tatami room. The bed is hard, pillows are flat, beddings are nice, found the pull out couch a little dusty but overall clean. Lacking bathroom amenities like toothbrush/toothpaste, face towel etc. Good location- near shops, restaurants, local attractions, quiet and safe area.

We stayed 4 nights. Location was great but since we stayed less than 6 nights they didn’t do room service which was sort of a let down. Having to wash your towels and stack bags of garbage was not the greatest but it’s a limited staffed counter with remote check in/check out access so just be prepared with that in mind. There was one staff at the counter in the mornings but we didn’t have much interaction with him. Oh, and be prepared for the loads of laundry to take several hours to complete. Overall a good place to stay.

Great location in Gion and good sized flat. Went with my 3 teenaged children and the adults had our own separate room in the flat. It is a bit tight with three teenagers but still a nice place, good facilities, and excellent location. It is a mostly digital check in so pay attention to directions before you arrive.

Location is helpful for walking to the Gion temples and the main shopping area. (10 mins walk to each). The hotel is on a quieter residential street with large apartment blocks nearby. Handy to have a Family Mart in the same building. Our street view room was okay, the layout was very strange but had everything you needed. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was tiny and very cramped. We stayed over a weekend and it did get noisy.
