Surrounded by numerous long-established shops in the historic Teramachi district

Located 1.5 miles from major cultural sites like Nanzen-ji and Nijo Castle
Cons

“The location is a distinct advantage, placing one directly amid the vibrant Teramachi Shopping Arcade and within easy reach of Gion. While the room design, with its separated bathroom and basin area, might require some adjustment, the inclusion of air purifiers throughout is a thoughtful touch. I particularly appreciate its central position near diverse dining options and key cultural sites.”

main arearude receptionistsself-service machines
the hotel is right in the middle of the main area with many shops and restaurants very close by.
the female receptionists were rude during both check-in and check-out, really disappointing. they expected guests to use the self-service machines for everything. when i asked for help, they seemed condescending and unwilling to assist.
