A guest lounge offers complimentary coffee, tea, juice, and snacks from 1 PM to 6 PM. The lobby and corridors overlook a garden that reflects the scenery of Higashiyama.

Location & Transportation

The hotel is located in Gion, steps from Kennin-ji Temple (0.3 km) and Maruyama Park (1 km). It is 1.5 km from Shoren-in and Nishiki Market, 2 km from Nijo Castle and Nishi-Hongan-ji, and 3.5 km from Fushimi Inari Shrine. Itami Airport is 50 km away, and the hotel is 2 km from Karasuma.

Services & Amenities

Staff provide seated check-in with tea and advice on local restaurants. Room service orders placed by 10 AM are delivered after 5 PM. The guest lounge and public bath are complimentary during operating hours. The concept 'surprise in simplicity' extends to thoughtful amenities and design details throughout the hotel.

“In my opinion, this hotel excels with its remarkably attentive staff and prime Gion location; the personalized service, especially from the concierge, appears truly exceptional. That said, some experiences, like the limited happy hour and in-room amenities issues, suggest occasional inconsistencies. Overall, it seems a solid choice for those prioritizing location and attentive care.”
