This was a great hotel! Situated in the heart of the Gion district of Kyoto. It is up on a hill, so if you are taking the bus to the hotel, just be fair warned (and the street is cobblestoned). Service is amazing, the hotel is awesome, and only 8 rooms so it is fairly private. There is no tv in the room but that didn't bother me at all. And you have to take your shoes off in the room, which I love because it keeps the outside dirt by the door. Will stay here again the next time I go to Kyoto.
