“These studio apartments, situated in the heart of Gion, include excellent amenities like all-in-one washer-dryers, which I found particularly convenient. I think this hotel is ideal for families or travelers seeking a blend of traditional Kyoto charm with self-sufficient lodgings. It's worth noting the area can be lively at night.”
