Ishibekoji Muan

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple Kyoto|0.39km from Kennin-ji Daichu-in
This place is INCREDIBLE! I have no other words for it other than the most pleasant stay I could ever imagine having at a traditional Japanese ryoken. We opted for daily traditional kaseki breakfasts that were served in our room with tea and coffee, would sit at the bar and chat with the staff and sample their great Japanese whiskey collection, enjoyed our beautiful spa-like bathroom with private onsen, heated floors, temperature controlled shower area, and beds so comfy, you couldn't help but fall asleep as soon as your head hit the pillow. The staff were incredibly amazing and very quick to handle any needs we had—and they were SO friendly! We had several great and long conversations with them that they felt like friends more than hotel staff. The location was great too because you were a short walk to several temples, popular tourist sites and great food but was secluded enough that you felt like you could relax and detox from the chaos of other large cities in Japan. This was one of the best experiences during our 12-day stay in Japan. I highly highly recommend. One piece of information that might be helpful, the entrance can be difficult to find but the property will message specific instructions to show the taxi drivers so whether they know English or not, they'll be able to get you close to the entrance. Once dropped off, it's just a short walk to the entrance. But trust me, it's worth the search.

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
We booked the hotel as we thought the location was great and the rooms looked fine. Service was good. They were accommodating to a room change request(especially during a busy season)- Thank you Miss Kyu! We also asked for air filter as the room was a little stuffy- Thank you Jay Tanaka! The rooms are clean, yet much tighter than normal(even compared to other Japanese hotel groups). The bathrooms were nice and updated and the sheets/covers/towels were high-end. I would not stay here if you are traveling with more than 2 people in a room, I think the suites even would be a challenge with suitcases unpacked. You cant get a better location, so close to the markets, pontocho alley, shopping, Gaesha watching, etc. and central location to all the temples. Everything is a 5-10 minute walk, except the temples(obviously). Would recommend for a solo traveler or young couple who likes boutique hotels, and plans on spending a lot of time site seeing nearby. We did not have drinks at the bar(weird hours) or have their breakfast(looked good though when walking past).

Booked on behalf of a friend, the response said that it is very good, the environment is clean and hygienic, it is an apartment-style family suite, the tatami is very unique, suitable for a family and children to live together.
Kyoto Inn Gion the Second
4.5/542 Reviews
Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
Very friendly staff, great service and location with good price. Loads of free amenities available at the lobby as well, and shampoo, conditioner and body soap is provided in pump bottles in the bathroom. Very clean and comfy room, the air conditioner has a heated option so our stay during winter was lovely and warm. 1 min walk from Higashiyama Yasui Bus Stop, and a few minutes away from Daigoji Shrine. Super convenient. Allowed us to check into our room early even though we arrived 1-2 hours before the actual check in time. Cute handwritten welcome card is provided along with 2 water bottles. Will definitely come back again if we return to Kyoto.

Gion/Kiyomizu Temple
We are a family of three, first time travelers to Kyoto, and this hotel exceeded all of our expectations! The staff went out of their way to welcome us and help with tourist advice and dinner reservations. We loved our room and terrace (so glad we upgraded to a private sauna room). The hotel is brand new and it's clear how much intention and care went into every building and design decision. In our room, every detail was attended to, from extremely comfortable beds and linens, to amazing lighting and art, plenty of hooks, to thoughtful soaps and basics for making tea. Modern and design-focused, the hotel just the right size: large enough to have everything you need, small enough to feel like a warm and inviting environment to return to after a day of exploration. We loved the simple breakfast and the location could not be better! Stores and restaurants out the front door, and all of our favorite temples and walks were within 3 minutes of the hotel. We are already looking into how to come back and we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. We are truly grateful to the wonderful staff for their kindness and creating such a special place to travel to.
