I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which features a unique blend of Western and Japanese styles. The location was quite convenient, near major tourist attractions, making it easy to explore Kyoto. While the rooms were generally quiet, I did find them a bit uncomfortable due to the lack of air conditioning, and the dining options were traditional but limited. The staff was friendly, but their English proficiency was low, which made communication a little challenging.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, drawn in by its great location near popular spots like Kiyomizudera and Gion. The Japanese-style rooms were quiet and created a lovely atmosphere, though I did get a bit of noise from neighboring rooms. The staff was friendly, even though they spoke little English, and they were very helpful when it came to arranging a taxi for us. The dining was traditional and healthy, but it might not suit everyone’s taste. Overall, it's a nice place with some minor issues.

The hotel is in a pretty decent spot, not too far from key attractions like Kiyomizudera and Gion.
