The location of this hotel is fabulous - it's a short walk to a subway station or the Hankyu Railway, a brief walk to Ponto-cho and Gion, and it's just around the corner from the major shopping boulevard and shopping arcade.

Liked this hotel quite a bit. Location is excellent and staff provided professional and friendly service. Laundry machines on 2nd floor are convenient.

We could smell smoke and they... More
