"We stayed in several hotels throughout our two week Japan trip, and this hotel (and Kyoto in general) was by far our favorite. It is spotlessly clean and classy. The lofi-jazz playing in the hotel as well as the rooftop lounge was a nice touch. The breakfast every morning was wonderful, and the staff were friendly and helpful. This hotel is walking distance to most of the Gion sites such as Yasaka Pagoda, Kiyomizu-dera Temple and a short taxi or subway ride from Yasaka Temple, Nishiki Market, Fushimi Inari (amazing) and so many other things to do. I would stay again at this hotel in a heartbeat! We’ll be back the next time we’re in Kyoto."
