Really good Stay in a Prime Location

central locationclean roomhelpful staffshower room
The location is amazing, nestled among picturesque streets near famous Geisha districts and temples. Staff were very helpful. The room I stayed in was impeccably clean and a reasonable size. I liked the shower roomwith a bathtub.
The limited space for storing clothes meant I had to live out of my suitcase for a few days.

The staff members are super friendly and speak English fluently. They offer luggage delivery services, a great help. They brought our luggage up to the fifth floor instead of asking us to come down.
