Really good Stay and Prime Location
spacious roomquiet streettransit hubspecial team
My Corner Premium Twin Room River View was spacious. The bathroom had elements I didn't expect in a two-star hotel, officially! The team made the hotel special. I watched the world go by from my window. The location in Gion is on a quiet street. A transit hub with subway, train, and buses is only five minutes away.
I noticed the scrambled eggs during one breakfast were cold. The chicken was at room temperature. Only the coffee was hot.

The room was surprisingly spacious. It was much larger than other rooms I have used in Japan. The shower and bathtub were unbelievable. I liked the many switches for the accessories and lights in the room. The staff helped me get a reservation at a restaurant that I wanted to visit.
The bathroom had a slight smell of old water. I closed the door to prevent the smell from spreading.

great showerlovely staffcomfortable roomsoundproofing improvement
we found the room size much bigger than we expected it was a comfort twin room. plenty of space let the kids play and they even had their own area with a table. the bathroom had a great shower so i was very happy. the staff were lovely and hospitable to all of us.
i noticed a slight inconvenience i think could be improved the subway could be heard occasionally. it wasn't constant but it was definitely noticeable at times. perhaps some extra soundproofing could address that.
