Pros

Central location within walking distance of Nishiki Market (0.5 miles)

Six diverse dining options within 0.5 miles of the property

Positioned near seven major cultural landmarks within 2 miles radius

Bar Rocking Chair located just 0.5 miles from the hotel

Cons

No onsite restaurant mentioned in the property

Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine requires longer travel at 2 miles distance

“What strikes me is its location, placing you steps away from the Nishiki Market and Gion district. That kind of central position, paired with modern comforts, can be a real find. A lacquer smell was noticeable during their stay, although the family found the large room spotless.”
