Stop considering booking, and do it immediately! This is the best hotel experience we have ever had, anywhere in the world. First and foremost, the location is nearly unbeatable. There are endless things to see, eat, and explore within 40 feet of the lobby doors.
The staff are extremely warm and attentive, from greeting us with fresh yuzu mocktails while we checked in, to greeting us as we left each day and returned each night. The happy hour snacks and self-service bar were very delicious, and a perfect cap off to each evening of our stay.
We enjoyed our king suite and open-air bath, which had a fresh canister of bath salts to use each day of our stay.
The room came equipped with an espresso machine and coffee pods to pick from, as well as delicious mineral water. The room design was exquisite, with everything particularly placed in beautiful cabinets and drawers.
We really appreciated the walk-in closet to store our bags out of sight for a few days in a country with typically very small rooms.
We look forward to visiting this property again, and thank the staff for being so wonderful and making our honeymoon feel extremely special for our time in Gion!
