The room was quite spacious and provided everything I needed. I especially liked the microwave and water machine available for use. The location was excellent, allowing me easy access to many attractions.
The view from the room wasn't really good, as it overlooked a busy street.

excellent gion stay
spacious roomsmall couchcentral locationeasy tables
the room felt generous and included a small couch perfect. i liked how quiet it was. its central location put me in the heart of the tourist area, yet the hotel maintained a sense of tranquility. the tatami area featured easy to move tables and a sofa, i found it easy to arrange the space for luggage.
My room faced the street. The early morning birds did wake me up around 4 or 5 am each day

the standard twin room offered ample space for two guests and luggage with room to spare. a sofa and table provided a comfortable area to unwind in the evenings. the separation of the toilet and shower areas offered added convenience.

the hotel is within a ten minute walk of both sanjo station on the toei subway line and shijo station on the keihan main line. a 7-eleven is located diagonally across the street, about 10 meters from the entrance. this location is very convenient.
