"The overwhelming reason to stay at this 40-some-year-old property is its superb location in Gion...rooms are updated but tiny. "

There are no views, but my recommendation is to ask for a room on a higher floor facing west, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tiled roofs of Gion.

"Centrally located, the hotel is close to the shopping district of Shijo-Kawaramachi, but still has pretty views of the mountains beyond the city from many of the bedroom windows."
Time Out
"It can boast of being the tallest in the area, with 17 floors, but the best reason to stay is the location, above a subway station in the Down-town district."
