Location is good & its nice property ( think doubletree by Hilton type ) but at just over £300 per night without breakfast it was without a doubt overpriced We had a ground floor room ( it’s called 1st floor but the ground floor is basement ) beside the lift, the lift was not troublesome but the room was dark & you could only see the sky by lying on the floor by the window, limited hotel facilities, makeshift bar in the evening , they need to manage expectations if they are going to charge over £300 per night room only, there are better hotels nearby for the same price, we did not stay during blossom week or golden week, just a normal time, disappointed, would not return

A hybrid of modern and traditional hotel located in Gion. The Kodaiji temple is visible from the hotel front and within 7 minutes of walk. Most of restaurants, train stations, and main attractions are walkable within 15-20 minutes. The room was clean and well designed to use small spaces. Housekeeping came daily and there were complimentary snacks and drinks. Overall a fantastic stay!

The staffs of the hotel was very nice and helpful. On the way to the hotel, my wife left her phone in the taxi, she was very upset and panic, the person at front desk helped us to get the phone back. I have been Kyoto three times, I would say this hotel is the best, if I come to Kyoto in future, I would stay this hotel again.

This hotel was a real gem. A very Japanese feel to it. The breakfast was out of this world and as it was buffet style it suited me perfectly with my allergies. All ingredients that could have affected me were written beside the dishes. It was a very tasty breakfast. I indulged in the tempura dinner menu and it was scrumptious and worth the price. I would definitely stay in this hotel if I went back to Japan.

Our second time staying in this hotel. The breakfast is one of the best in variety and quality. English speaking staff who provides top quality service. Room is spacious and well decorated. Very well located in Gion with many dining options nearby and a shuttle service by the hotel to Kyoto station.
