The very neighbourhood it is located in is absolutely lovely, Gion being the ild geisha district full of little charming streets and historic buildings - it was a joy to explore day and night and find little hidden gems! The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the room itself was clean and very comfortable - we had everything we could need! We stayed in Kyoto for quite a while - whole 5 days, and the hotel truly felt like a mini home meanwhile. We had a wonderful time!Show More
