I had a wonderful stay at Prince Smart Inn. I was greeted with the bubbliest of receptionists who helped me get checked in and greeted me every time I passed, full of personality who even offered to give me change for my bill (albeit they didn't have enough) but it was still a lovely gesture regardless. Another receptionist called a hotel for me to arrange luggage transfer with another hotel as I had issues calling them (the luggage transfer was next door). Having free breakfast in the morning was also convenient and the people serving were also really nice. The location was awesome and right next to the bustling Teramachi street and only a few minutes walk from public transport and Nishiki street. The rooms were clean and spacious enough for six luggages (two carry on) and the bathroom was nice. Laundry was a bit of an issue as there was only two machines in the entire hotel from what I could find, making it hard to do laundry during the night. But overall had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay again!

Great modern hotel with surprisingly spacious rooms for Japan. Good architectural design though has low bulk heads that may not suit tall people. Great shower so much better than an old school bath. Couldn’t fault the place though the poor staff did sometimes look like they wished they could be somewhere els other than old lady the cafe at breakfast was such a joy. Not keen on the AI alarm clock. Best to unplug it so it’s not spying on you the whole time. My only complaint is they are more concerned with aesthetics over service. I would still recommend the hotel and stay there again.

This is more of a hostel than a proper hotel. It is very basic and at times surprising at lack of amenities and free breakfast is terrible (power soup, bad coffee, stale bread and a boiled egg). For example, there are no cups/ kettle in the room. They only provide one bottle of water and there are signs at cafe in morning where breakfast is served that you cannot request hot water and you can only use 2 oz cups provided for water. I’d rather stay at a capsule hotel at 1/5th the price as bathroom is very basic and in not in a separate room. This is a good option when prices are low but very poor value for $300 Canadian a night when there are hotels in the area that are so much better. Will not be recommending or staying here again due to abundance of much better options in Gion.

Great modern hotel

(+) Convenient location to many attractions. Clean and modern rooms. Excellent showers with strong water pressure and multiple showerheads / jets. Light daily breakfast included. (-) Laundry machines are inefficient washer/dryer combos (clothes smelled unclean after washing and did not dry even after 2 hours. Best to just use outside coin laundry if laundry is needed).
