I had a mixed experience at Kizashi The Suite in Kyoto. The location was absolutely fantastic, right in the heart of the Gion District with easy access to public transport and stunning sights. While the rooms were spacious and comfortable, the hotel itself felt a bit dated, and the dining options were quite limited. Overall, it’s a viable option if you manage expectations.

My stay at Kizashi The Suite in Gion was enjoyable overall, but it came with a few quirks. The location is fantastic, nestled in the heart of Gion, allowing easy access to temples, shopping, and the chance to see Geishas. The rooms are impressively spacious, especially the traditional tatami areas, but the hotel itself shows some signs of age. Service had its ups and downs, mainly because the staff's limited English made communication a bit tricky at times. Overall, I found good value for money despite a few minor issues.

My stay at Kizashi The Suite in Gion was quite enjoyable, primarily due to its fantastic location and spacious rooms. The hotel is located on a lively street, yet once inside, it feels serene and inviting. However, the lack of clear signage and reception made my arrival a bit tricky, and communication with the staff was limited as they didn't speak much English. Overall, if you're looking for big rooms and a great location in Kyoto, this place is a solid choice.
