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. Rooms were renovated in 2001, but the single rooms are still among the smallest I've seen (I'm not sure there's even room to unpack). 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). A plus is the rooftop beer garden, open in summer.
Facilities:
Restaurant (Japanese); bar; Starbucks; beer garden; in-room massage; same-day laundry service; nonsmoking rooms
