“In Gion, this hotel stands out for its prime location near the train station and the geisha district, a real advantage for experiencing Kyoto's cultural heart. Family-friendly suites are well-equipped, even including washer/dryers, though some communication challenges have been noted. I think this property works well for travellers who prioritize location and spacious accommodation, but who don't mind a less personalized service experience.”
