AustraliaBeautiful clean hotel, close to everything. Staff are friendly.
AustraliaThe facilities are simple and easy to use. Because there are few guest rooms, movement in hall is smooth. The location is very good right in front of Minami Kannonyama of the Gion Festival. The lounge had iced tea, apple juice and snacks during tea time, and beer and alcoholic drinks during bar time, which was comfortable.
