“Located in the Gion district, this hotel places you amid Kyoto's geisha culture and within easy reach of local dining; the modern, air-conditioned rooms, combined with the 24-hour front desk, struck me as thoughtful amenities. I particularly like that bottled water is complimentary and that the property is entirely non-smoking; it signals a commitment to guest comfort. Overall, the hotel stands out for its blend of convenience and consideration.”
