My stay was quite enjoyable, in a great area that's perfect for exploring. The rooms were neat and cozy, and it was great to have a little kitchen space. However, the dining experience had room for improvement, especially at breakfast. While the price was reasonable, some amenities like Wi-Fi were an extra cost.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located right in the Gion district of Kyoto. The room was clean and comfortable, and it was great to have a small kitchen with all the essentials. On the downside, the parking situation could be more convenient.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, thanks to the small kitchen that made daily life easy. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the Gion district, making it very convenient for sightseeing. However, the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations, especially the breakfast options, which were a bit limited.
