An excellent place to stay, close with everything. I would love to come back next time.

The front desk staff were very helpful. A few members of the staff spoke very good English, so it was easy to check in. The hotel is very nice, as was the room where I stayed. A lovely mix of modern and traditional. I only had two issues: the hotel was in an awkward location, and the duvets weren't very wide.

Our room has 2 queen and one sofa bed, which were both fluffy and firm, and really comfortable. The large walk in shower and sauna were attractive and clean, and the staff helpful

Honestly when I booked this property I thought I might be getting scammed based on how nice it was for the price. I was very pleased to see that the room we booked(the deluxe suite) was even nicer in person.
The bathroom with sauna was heavenly. Instead of immediately walking around Kyoto and sightseeing for our one day trip, I ended up spending 4 hours in our private little spa room just relaxing(and I regret nothing). Far and away the nicest hotel room I have ever stayed in but far from the most expensive. The staff at the front desk were very nice and spoke English. The coffee bar was a very nice touch.
The only hitch was the electronic room controls in our room that controlled the blinds seemed to be malfunctioning with no clear solution. Luckily the room was secluded enough that having the blinds stuck open didn’t matter all that much, it was mostly the sunlight in the morning waking us a little earlier than expected but hey, it got us out of bed and encouraged us to see a little bit more of Kyoto’s beauty before we head to check out. Even with this slight hitch, still a 5/5 experience.

Excellent hotel for our family of three. Modern facilities, very clean, and helpful staff. Good location, close to heritage areas (though no views from the suite). Ask staff to help you make dinner reservations, as walk-in space was hard to come by in the better restaurants. Only quibble was the 6/10 breakfast buffet, which was probably just our tastes. Otherwise would definitely recommend, and would stay there again.

Our favorite hotel during our trip to Japan! We really enjoyed the large bathroom and shower area with tub, the room was a nice size with a comfortable bed, and we enjoyed having a balcony. Easy walk to the train and plenty of nearby temples and shrines. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in Kyoto.
4.0
A wonderful location in Gion on a quiet street but close to walking streets and nice restaurants. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind as well. My only reservation about staying here again would be that it isn’t as nice as it looks in photos. The rooms are a bit worn and pillows are cheap. I expected this to be a nicer hotel for the price but again, the location is the main draw.
3.0
Lacks soundproofing so you can hear all the neighbors. My room had a random connecting door to the next room. Front doors do not have a security latch. Also, the bed sheets I got had visible stains and the walls are covered in marks. Overall, the rooms are big and the location is new and centrally located. However, you can easily find a better budget friendly option.

A unique property in an upscale neighborhood. Hybrid Japanese/ western breakfast and free coffee was a nice touch.

The staff went above and beyond!
The lady at the front desk speak Spanish, English and Japanese and she was always trying to help.
You can’t beat this place in regards cost/location versus other options.

We love this hotel for multiple reasons. To begin with, it is the most English language friendly place we stayed in our recent trip to Japan as they have English speaking staff onsite every day. Located in the middle of Gion area, it is within a few minutes of walking distance to the popular sightseeing spots such as Kiyomizu-dera, Yasaka Pagoda and Yasaka Shrine, which gave us the advantage of leisurely visiting these places in the early mornings before the crowds arrived. The hotel room was surprisingly large in addition to being well maintained and tastefully decorated. This hotel will be on top of our list of choices when we visit Kyoto again.

Excellent overall. We had the king room Bathroom is great with the stone tub and a finland made sauna! No problem communicating with staff. Walkable to different attractions and tourist spots. We arrived earlier in day 1 and was able to get checked in early. Highly recommend!

This hotel is absolutely amazing. We learned it opened about a month ago. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The room was spacious for our family of 4 and was so very clean and the decor was inviting. The bathroom is just as amazing. It was large with a sauna and a separate glassed room with a shower and tub. The hotel offers free coffee, lattes etc at all times with a state of the art machine in the lobby. Breakfast is offered for free every morning. The hotel is in an amazing location in Gion and within walking distance of all the culture, food and shopping Gion has to offer. If you come to Gion Kyoto the Gion Elite Terrace is a must stay.
