Family friendly but small room

Child friendly with a small tatami area for kids play. Equipped with toys, stuffed toys, games and books for young ones. Good breakfast too. The loft doesn't have an extra bed, but more of a playing/sitting area.

Amazing hotel with really good amenities and really friendly staff. Free sake in the lobby for hotel guests too! It's a bit further out from Gion, but it makes up for it being really close to a train station and with really nice little restaurants and cafes in the side streets nearby. For what we paid, I highly recommend staying here.
