Nothing but good things I could say about this place! Phenomenal location right in the heart of the Gion district. (though a bit tricky to get to from the station with bags). The staff was really great. Very accommodating and kind. Rooms were clean and quiet. I had a garden view room. I would recommend asking the staff to get the ac/heater working for you though (there are instructions but still had difficulty). I will absolutely come back here.

Hiro's house is a real gem, it was recommended to us by a friend and it exceeded all expectations. The owner lives in the house and was super welcoming and supportive. For very little money you get a unique japanese experience, a grandmother's guesthouse, complete with a private garden, a garden viewing room and an antique European library, which holds books that you would actually like to read (I read the Snow Country by Kawabata). All this in the heart of historical Gion. Thank you Hiro, it was truly special.

Absolutely wonderful. We stayed in one of the private rooms with our own bathroom. It was large and clean, the window out into the garden was fantastic. The shared kitchen was sparkling and well-stocked with utensils and anything else you might need, including guidebooks in various languages. Hiro’s English is excellent and he is a warm and welcoming host. The walls are thin, so if you’re a light sleeper I would suggest earplugs to avoid being woken up by night owls/early risers. I highly recommend walking around the area your first night in - the streets are stunning wonderfully lit up at night, and the crowds will have dwindled down to people with large cameras taking beautiful shots. Ultimately my favourite place I’ve stayed ever, not just in Japan.
