small roomuninterested staff
The room was small!!! It was different from the photos I saw when I booked it. I felt uncomfortable. The staff didn't seem to care much. I asked about a bigger room, and they just said they didn't have any available, not even trying to help me find another option. The manager never came to talk with me. It seemed like they didn't prioritize guests.

The hotel's location was convenient. It was near the train station. The main areas like Gion District were just across from the hotel. I found great facilities in the foyer for guest use. The rooms were beautiful and very quiet, despite being right above the street.
The breakfast lacked variety considering the price , I paid.
