    We didn't have time, so stayed here only for 5 nights, yet everything was excellent. Twin room was with a fridge, an electric kettle, and climate control. The location was great and exceptionally nice and close to places we visited. There was a lot of restaurants and fantastic restaurants nearby...

    Perfect location in the heart of Gion, close to the subway and within walking distance to Hirashiyama sights. Convenient on-site laundry. Enjoyed the nice bar next door and numerous good restaurants nearby. Comfy beds and a great shower.
