  Park Suite

  Five nights over Gion Matsuri in a Park Suite with a big private garden. Excellent service, but the Japanese breakfast surcharge was poor value.

  Room

  Standard double queen room → Standard double queen room (6th floor)

  Don't count on an upgrade at any Hyatt tier in this 70-room hotel: neither room got one. The 45 sqm room was spacious and calm.

  Room

  Ninenzaka House (corner suite)

  Service and design were thoroughly impressive. The corner suite faces the street, though, and people walking by can see in.
