“The hotel's Gion location puts you steps from Kyoto's geisha district. While the rooms lean towards compact, they are clean and geared for efficiency. I think the automated check-out is a boon for busy travelers, and the on-site Starbucks is a solid perk.”

i loved the on-site laundry, which worked well. the automatic soap dispenser was convenient. the staff was cute, and i felt safe.
no climate control in the room bummed me. otherwise, it was excellent.

Location's fine. Room? less so.
cigarette odor early check-out
the location was pretty good, i guess, i could walk to a few places.
My non-smoking room definitely had a stale cigarette odor. It was rather unpleasant. the room was also quite small, more like a box, to be honest. plus, check-out at 10 am? who decided that was reasonable? i felt rushed.
