Kyoto overlooking the river

We had a very nice three night visit. We enjoyed the breakfast ( and very much appreciated the extra mile in delivering one for 6:00 am the day we had an early start). The location is wonderful, our room had a river view and when we stepped out the hotel right into Gion and its wonderful ambiance.

This property was is such a good location. Right across from the river. There is a beautiful walking path along the river that you can take to get to any of the main streets of Kyoto. The hotel staff was so friendly & accommodating. I appreciated that this was a quieter part of Kyoto but, walking distance to any popular destination & amazing food spots! Would definitely recommend!
