10/10 location in Gion. Walking distance to many things and public transportation. Hotel is modern and clean. Rooms are very small and those on the first floor don’t have any natural sunlight so it feels like you’re in a basement. Breakfast was very disappointing, I would not pay for that add-on and instead visit one of the coffee shops or even the Starbucks nearby.

great location.

Fantastic location with a great Italian restaurant just around the corner. Disappointed it identified it had a restaurant but this was only for breakfast. Fortunately you could buy drinks here if you wished. Breakfast was good.
