Had a wonderful stay at the Gion Elite Terrace! Lots of great amenities (the washing machines and dryer were lifesavers) and the super friendly staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, offering recommendations, arranging for taxis, etc. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed six nights, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room was so thoughtfully designed and appointed, it made it spacious and easy even for a long stay. The Gion Elite Terrace is also located ideally - very near everything but no heavy tourist traffic. Lovely!
