I absolutely loved the hotel's magnificent location right in amongst all the Gion area, making exploration a breeze. The rooms offered a perfect view of a wonderful Japanese garden and were cozy, but the price could be more reasonable given the value for money. The service was excellent, efficient, and the laundry service was truly a lifesaver. The dining experience with the best pizza was delightful, although a bit pricey. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything one could need for a luxurious stay.
