Highly recommended.
1. The breakfasts are amazing. Looked forward to it every morning during the trip.
2. The room we booked includes 2 beds and 2 futons, I like that combination, suitable for the elderly who may have problems sleeping on the floor.
My kids also said the futon is super comfy.
3. The location is very convenient too, within walking distance to many places of interest.
4. If you prefer to have no room service during the stay, you can also opt out of room service, and the hotel will gift you a box of cookies as a replacement for that option. I like that.
5. We booked a Kaiseiki dinner one day in advance during our stay, a bit expensive, but the experience was amazing, and we had the entire restaurant for ourselves for that dinner.
But, I won't recommend booking all dinners (with the room) though, there are a lot of good meal options around the area. So definitely should explore more; must try more options in Gion as there are many amazing Japanese places within walking distance.
Overall a really good experience. Thank you.

Hotel service: very good, the front desk staff are very polite, they will help you with your luggage.
Hotel facilities: The environment is clean and hygienic.
Location:
Advantages: Very close to Yasaka Shrine.
Disadvantages: It is a 5-minute walk from the convenience store. It is troublesome to carry large luggage because you have to push the luggage up a diagonal path of about 40 meters.
Summary: It is a good choice to come and experience the traditional Japanese hotel culture. If it is a business or family trip, there are better choices at this price.

A hotel with an excellent location, just a stone's throw away from Kodaiji Entokuin Temple Ninnizaka to the south, and only a few minutes' walk from Shijo Street to the north. The key is that the hotel and Oda Nobunaga live next to each other, really only separated by a wall.

The advantage is that it is close to the scenic spot. Go downhill and turn right to Yasaka Shrine. But the surrounding environment is a bit disappointing. There is no scenery outside the window. The tatami room also depends on the person. If there are elderly people, it is not recommended. The food is average. There are many famous restaurants around, but the food is not special.

The hotel is in a good location, close to Yasaka Shrine, and convenient for travel. Japanese hotel rooms are small to begin with, and this kind of tatami is even more unaccustomed.

I took my mom with me, and the location was good, the room was spacious, the facilities were clean, and it was really nice.
The bathroom has a seating area so it's comfortable to use while sitting, and the bathtub is great for a half-body bath.
The service was very friendly, and I especially remember eating a delicious breakfast while wearing a yukata. Recommended 👍

The room was terrible. It didn't match the description. They asked me to pay more. I couldn't get a refund at all. The attitude of the store was very bad. I decided to change hotels.

The rooms in Japan are not big, but the service is very good. There are many must-visit attractions around the hotel and it is very convenient. It would be better if there is Chinese service. I will stay here again if I come next time.
