We are grateful that the staff gave us a different room as we requested. The new room had a few things broken like the air from the bathroom and the wall aer was very damaged but we assumed there wasn't anything else availble at that time.

The hotel is located in Gion, which is near to temple and shops/restaurants. A perfect location. Rooms are a little small, but the convenience of the hotel is more important. There is a coffee shop on the ground floor.

Room was to small (narrow and long) to be comfortably useful. I was able to touch from wall to wall with outspread arms. The only advantage to staying here is location. Area is very popular and almost always highly populated. Personally I would not stay again or recommend to anyone.

The rooms were the smallest of any place we stayed in Japan, but they were very clean and convenient. The front desk staff were really friendly and helpful. They helped me fill out the forms to forward our luggage to the airport. Excellent location right in the heart of the Gion neighborhood.

Hotel was exactly as advertised. Clean rooms and the hotel was clean and well-maintained. The rooms are small with little walking space - but that was to be expected as is standard for Japanese hotels. This hotel is right in the heart of the Gion district which was important to us.
