The hotel has a great location, right in the heart of Gion, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. The room was a bit small and lacked adequate luggage storage, but the beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful, which was a huge plus. However, the dining options were quite limited and didn't cater well to dietary preferences. Overall, it’s great value for money considering its prime spot, but some improvements could be made in the dining department.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, which offered a great location just minutes away from Gion Square and the main shrine. The rooms were spacious but had some noise from the nearby restaurant, which could be a downside for light sleepers. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the price was quite reasonable for the area. The breakfast experience was basic, but it filled me up for the day ahead.
