Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were both large and absolutely stunning, booked from a good Japanese hotel with western-style rooms featuring tatami mats. The service was accommodating, with the staff translating and providing the entire menu and offering advice on places to eat and sights to see, though action on complaints seemed lacking. The location was excellent, right in the midst of Gion near the Yasaka Shrine, perfect for exploring shrines, temples, and the Geisha district. The dining experience was globally inspired but lacked in quality. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.
The hotel blew me away with its stunning rooms, the size of an apartment, including a wooden bath and shower. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, even translating and writing the menu for us. The location was excellent, close to shrines, temples, and the opportunity to experience Geishas. The dining experience was a joke, but the fresh fruits were a nice touch.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room, despite being advertised as a junior suite, was different from what I expected, not quite like a typical Japanese hotel with Western style rooms. However, the location was excellent, right in the midst of Gion and a stone's throw away from Yasaka Shrine, perfect for exploring shrines, temples, and shops nearby. The service, although the staff didn't speak English fluently, was very accommodating, with translations of the menu provided and helpful advice on places to eat and sights to see.

If you want a taste of traditional Japanese style with Western comfort, this hotel is the place to be. The wooden bath and tatami mats add a lovely touch, making it a cozy stay. However, the lack of sunlight may be a downside for some. I would definitely stay here again when I'm back in Kyoto.
