We stayed at the Itoya for 3 nights and had a lovely time! The hotel is quite small and the rooms are small (proper Japanese standard) but they were cosy and had everything you needed in them. They gave us a welcome drink voucher on arrival which was a nice touch and breakfast was decent .. we did think it was strange they only offered western breakfast but to be honest it did the job and if you did want Japanese breakfast there were a few places you could go round the area instead. The hotel is around a 15 min walk to the Gion district and 10 min walk to the nearest bus stop to do some temple and Shrine visits. It was my birthday when we were there and they were so sweet and wished me happy birthday as soon as we came downstairs, asked if they could take our picture then when we came back later that day they had made a card for me out of that picture with a little gift which I thought was lovely ! I would highly recommend this hotel if you love a boutique style property.

Stayed here for 6 nights and it was awesome The room was big enough and bed comfy . Spotlessly clean and air con worked well Central to our needs and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great location Friendly staff cap off this place Thank you all for a most wonderful stay

The hotel is clean and quite.that is because we did not have a room with a window with a view. That was not an issue .the rooms are small as most hotel rooms .the check in was easy and fast .they had all the information including maps .the welcome drinks were non alcoholic. The hotel is close to the subway and markets .if you want a better and cheaper breakfast nearly opposite in a cafe which sells katsudon (pork with rice) it is very nice.the biggest problem is the room key .everytimevyoh go out you have to leacmve the room key .if you want to hurry to go to family mart ; which is very close you have to leave the key .I asked them why and the front desk said " just to say hello?" The reception us on the second floor .I like this hotel , but there are ones just as good near them where you dont have to leave the key.would have gave it 4 stars but the key problem cost then a star
