Frommer's Review

This older, simple hotel has no frills but a great location in the heart of Gion, within easy walking distance of the city center, shops, nightlife, and the many sights in Higashiyama-ku. There's no view to speak of, but I prefer the rooms facing west, which have floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the quaint tiled roofs of Gion (corner rooms are best). The single rooms are among the smallest I've seen (I'm not sure there's even room to unpack). A plus is the rooftop beer garden, open in summer.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; Starbucks; beer garden; in-room massage; same-day laundry service; nonsmoking rooms
