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

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.

"Located just west of the Imperial Palace...offering bare-boned small rooms (all nonsmoking) with the basics of fridge, desks too small for any serious work, free Internet connections"
