10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic location in the heart of Kawaramachi.
Amazing location. Staff were very pleasant and professional and were always wearing a smile 😃 Appointments look a little dated, however, for this price point you can overlook that. Everything worked just fine as expected. Absolutely LOVED the late check out time (12:00). Too many places keep rolling back the time and has gone to 11 am and most now are 10 am. Those that are sensitive to outside noises will not like the sound of the revelers on the streets of Kawaramachi which go on into the wee hours of the morning. This is centrally located after all. You are within 3-5 minutes walking distances to all of the most delicious foods Kyoto has to offer, and many train and bus lines as well. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, book somewhere else. If you value convenience, variety, helpful staff and great price, this is your place. I’ll certainly be back.

Quirky hotel
Quirky hotel. Really modern lobby and corridors but room needs a bit of work. Saying that it was a comfortable bed and that’s pretty much all I needed. The room decor was a flowery pink wallpaper and there was even a VHS player in the room! my only criticism would be the shower. It’s not directly over the bath, it’s more like a wet room but the shower is to the side of the bath tub, makes it quite difficult. Great location, minutes from lively area with restaurants, bars and shops. Kyoto itself is a great place.

Great location along the canal
Reasonably priced, comfortable and very centrally located. The decor is dated though.

Small tidy hotel, value for money near Gion Kyoto
We stayed in Kyoto for 4 nights, initially in the standard double before our bathroom light broke on the second night - they immediately upgraded us to the deluxe double for the rest. The rooms are identical except the deluxe is slightly bigger and better bathroom. The staff were excellent and can't be faulted. The location is good, in the heart of the "party" or club area - plus close to Gion and public transport.

4/10 Fair

Outdated and Overated!
Great area right amongst it all. BUT.....with that comes the noise from the nightclub below ( quaintly named "Club Open Me Up") Yikes! Rooms are rather old and smell of old smoke despite being non smoking. We had booked in for 3 nights but canceled after one night and found another hotel.

Good location.
On beautiful street with old canal for small boats that carried goods. Top rear room (501) has superb view of river and East Kyoto. Room was large and clean, though not traditional.

Heart of Gion
This hotel is located in the heart of Gion district but it can take a bit of time to find. Our room was a non smoking room but reeks a bit of smoke but we found a way to open the back window panels. Staff was friendly and our stayed was pleasant. Our first morning out was beautiful, the narrow streets with bridges over the streams of water, can't find a sight like that back home. It was breathtaking. Fantastic place with perfect location.

8/10 Very good

Exactly what we wanted
Very easy to find, lovely and friendly staff and super clean rooms. We wanted to go Geisha spotting and we did see one, about 10 meters from the hotel's entrance, it was fantastic. Near to shops, 2 different subway lines and also some fantastic nightlife, couldn't ask for more. Would have scored 5 but we couldn't work the AC so it blasted us all night long, instructions are in Japanese (quite rightly) but as we can't read it that well did cause us some cold nights!
