Hotel Analysis
Based on 5 sites · 15,501 reviews
A 4-star hotel on Takase River in Kyoto. Renovated from an old elementary school, guests commonly note the 'spacious and clean rooms'.
Reviews across sites repeatedly praise the 'prime location'. Just 3 minutes walk from Kawaramachi Station, close to Gion, Nishiki Market, and Pontocho for easy sightseeing and shopping. Rooms feature stylish tile interiors, separate bath and shower, and comfy beds. The 8th-floor check-in and breakfast area offers views of the river and hills.
Breakfast features popular limited Japanese sets (30 portions, first-come-first-served), sometimes missed. The 3rd-floor free lounge serves wine and coffee, with patio bonfires in the evening.
Some mention nighttime noise from nearby bar streets. Great for business travelers, couples, and families, but note if seeking quiet.
