Frommer's "The overwhelming reason to stay at this 40-some-year-old property is its superb location in Gion...rooms are updated but tiny. " Full review

There are no views, but my recommendation is to ask for a room on a higher floor facing west, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tiled roofs of Gion.

Frommer's "Just across the street from Nijo Castle and offering rooms with castle views, this hotel has one of the most eye-catching lobby lounges in town." Full review
Lonely Planet "This large hotel gets plenty of foreign guests... the free shuttle to Kyoto Station is a welcome service for those doing a bit of exploring." Full review
Star Service "While its dated exterior and not-much-newer interior do little to inspire, the reliable cookie cutter service pattern of Crowne Plaza is fully in place." Full review

Although rooms on higher floors afford nice rooftop and mountain views, be sure to request one facing Nijo Castle.
Fodor's "This chain hotel's location is dynamite." Full review
