The great location right in Gion makes this a great base to explore this area of the city as well as give access to subway and bus lines. The room and service was good as well.

The location was perfect, right above the metro station entrance. many bars/ restaurants and convenient stores nearby. walking distance to Gion district. The beds were clean but the carpets especially in the corners were dusty. The price was definitely reasonable tho.

Location is really good, right next to shopping streets and shopping centers and bus stops.
I got a corner room so can be a little noisy and space is at odd angles. And there's not enough lighting in the room. Otherwise, the bed is good, there's hairdryer and kettle and study desk.

The property is in an excellent location. Coming from Osaka by train the station is literally up the stairs.
Very clean and well run with front desk being very helpful with advice,directions and bus #.
Highly recommend for those reason. Mattress especially hard and not for people with back issues…for me!

The location next to Nishiki and Teramchi is fantastic. Food shopping and transportation proximity is the best. There is a taxi stand access the street and it’s on top of a station. The room, bed, bathroom and ability to control temperature of the room were not great. I would say it’s a 2 ⭐️ hotel in that regard.

The location is perfect, but the facilities, like the mirror, sink been used for several years and affected the perception.

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at Kyoto Central in the Japanese Western Suite B with 2 Queen and 2 twin futon. Ample space for 4 people. Front desk is on 2nd floor, staff were kind & efficient and our sent bags were waiting. Small elevator or stairs from street into the hotel. Our room was on 2nd which was convenient to walk past the ice machine and laundry room. The separate toilet room was quite small to close the door at your knees. Tub/shower combo was nice, towels little thin. Mini fridge in closet and table with floor cushion/seat back we moved to lay out futons. A little small when opening luggage for four people. Nice view of main street, lots of shopping/dining at Pontocho Alley, Nishiki Market & Kawaramachi right out the door. Taxi depot across street - short ride to Kiyomizu Temple. Transit from Gion-shijo station to Fushimi-inari Station was 220Yen. We would stay here again, the location is great!

I don’t know why some people give such negative review on this hotel. It is what it is, a cheap hotel. Yes the hall stank of cigarettes but out room didn’t. Go 2 minutes out of the hotel and buy some incense if it botherss you. Yes it wasn’t the most slick room but it had comfortable bed, clean sheets and enough space, the shower was hot, the fridge was colder than our novatel. But the best thing was it suited my our needs in fact we extended our stay and the location couldn’t get better. For food, shopping and transport. Some people might whine about the road noise or the room temperature as it didn’t have A/C but for the price suck it up and out go pay double elsewhere.

방은 넓고, 깨끗하고 좋았습니다.
단단한 침대를 좋아해서 그런지 맘에 쏙.
이곳은 쇼핑과 식당가에 묻혀있어서 사흘동안 심심할 틈이 없었네요.
