Its a good location and the rooms was well appointed. The highlight of the stay was the local tour provided by the concierge. Super interesting and he was really knowledgeable. There a few things of no huge concern that we didn't care for - the bar was tiny and the staff generally we not very flexible in our requests. The public onsen facility if good.

Beautiful hotel nestled in the Gion area. As soon as you enter they have a beautiful relaxed seating in the lobby area with a view of the garden. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are good size and beds are very comfortable and clean. Bathrooms and showers were great! Location is perfect - very walkable towards the Gion sights and shrines on one side, and across the river in the other direction are some amazing restaurants, bars and shopping that one can walk to. Would highly recommend.
