Pros: front desk and larger than average Japanese rooms. Location is excellent. Cons: booked 3 rooms and 2 of them smelled terribly. I suspect it came from the AC units but it permeated. By the time I reached the next hotel, all my stuff had that stench on it. When we tried to swap rooms, the front desk said they couldn’t due to the hotel being sold out. At the same time, they confirmed they were smokers rooms even though we booked 3 non smoking rooms. Would be a great place to stay for the price if they can fix the stench.

Excellent value for money. A quiet area with lots of shops and eateries just around the corner. Walkable to various local temples and to local metro stations. Helpful staff who look after your luggage and a little room by reception to eat your own food and a kitchen to use. We stopped for two nights but wish we would have stopped longer. I recommend.

Great Budget, Great Location
The room deco is kind of old fashion but the room size and bathroom size are surprisingly big when comparing with the averagea hotel room size among Japan. The great budget room rate ( including a Japanese style breakfast ) and the great location ( in the Center of Gion) definitely compensating the room deco. staff are helpful and friendly. i will give 9.5 out of 10. Highly recommended.

Wow! Just wow! This was the biggest surprise I've ever had from a hotel stay. I'd booked the deluxe twin room and was expecting a small room like everywhere else in Japan. But I walked in to discover a very spacious room, HUGE bathroom with a very large tub and separate shower area, and most surprising of all... my own private sauna! The hotel is located in the heart of Gion, but once you are in the hotel it is a serene quiet setting where you don't hear any noise from outside. They have so many toiletries in front of the lifts for you to take up to your room, including face wash, skin lotion, moisturiser and many more. Cleaning is done every 2-3 days but they will give you clean towels and yukata every day, rubbish bins can also be emptied every day, plus they give you 2L of bottled water every day. Breakfast is Japanese style only, which I have no problem with. It's a set where you get fish, egg, pickled veg, rice and miso soup. This doesn't really change much day by day so for long stay it does get repetitive. This might be my only grouse with staying here, as I was staying 7 nights. Overall I couldn't be more impressed with hotel Sasarindou and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Gion, as for the price I paid I got so much. It is by far the best value I ever had from any hotel stay in Japan. A true gem!

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.

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.

A gem of a hotel
We loved this hotel! Super clean, right in the very heart of Gion, super short walking distance to all the main attractions and sites, the traditional breakfast provided was a huge plus, we loved it. The room was very spacious, the biggest we had during our stay in Japan. Loved the shower room with large tub and that the showering area was separate from toilet and sink. Definitely the largest bathroom we had as well. Slippers are provided and ready when you enter your room in order to keep the floors clean and I like that the toiletries are provided downstairs so you can take what you need, and leave what you don’t. Efficient and eliminates waste. Staff was friendly and so helpful. We were trying to get a taxi upon our checkout on one of the busiest days and he was determined to help us even though he was busy helping other guests check in and out. He was persistent and got us a taxi which felt like a small miracle. We really appreciated everything about this hotel and would absolutely recommend it and stay again.
