Cultural Setting

The hotel sits in the heart of Kyoto's traditional Gion area, within walking distance of Yasaka Shrine and Kenninji Temple.

Highlights

Location: 400m from Gion Shijo Station

Rooms: private bathroom with bidet

Amenities: luggage storage & laundry facilities

Services: luggage forwarding to Narita Airport

Attractions: walking distance to Yasaka Shrine

“In my opinion, its location in the heart of Gion provides an authentic Kyoto experience, placing guests steps away from key cultural attractions and a short walk from the subway. The rooms offer a comfortable respite, especially appreciated after exploring the area's lively streets and nearby temples. I think that the combination of a traditional setting with practical amenities, like in-room clothes drying, enhances the overall appeal for travelers seeking both convenience and immersion.”

Good location, convenient experience

convenient location train station helpful staff
The location was very convenient. It has access to the train station. I enjoyed the feature, a place where people could write on a post it note. I also saw what other people wrote. The hotel staff were helpful. They were also friendly to guests.
The facilities seemed a little outdated. I noticed cracks in the walls and some furniture pieces. The cleaning was not as good as other hotels I stayed at in Japan. The TV mount was really dusty, and so were other corners of the room.

The hotel provides coffee in drip bags. This is available daily. I found this convenient. It helped me to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee in my room each morning.
