Kyoto Gion Hotel Reviews

The hotel is in a very convenient location. It was beautiful, clean, and the staff were accommodating.

A little bit noisy at night since there are some bars and clubs nearby. The room itself was clean and neat.

This hotel’s location is good. Not very close to the metro, perhaps 10-15 walking with suitcases. But if looking for the main attractions and places for eating it’s good. Although the room was small, everything was pretty clean and nice.

One of my favourite hotels during my trip! We paid SGD120 per night in December 2023 and it was great value considering the location. I didn’t realise it when we booked, but this hotel is a 10 min walk to Yasaka Shrine, which was great because we had a Kimono rental and did not have time to travel to the other shrines in Kyoto. There is also a convenience store located beside Yasaka shrine, which is great for your late night snack run. I loved the private environment of the hotel, and how the sunlight shines through the shoji windows in the morning. The hotel feels really cozy and the bed is extra comfortable and feels like a premium hotel bed. Do take note that to get to this hotel, you will need to get on a bus from Kyoto station and it is about a 15-20 mins walk from the bus stop - for your consideration if you are bringing elderly and children or heavy luggage. Although considering this, this hotel is still highly recommended by me ^^

Hotel room is small but well-equipped for a casual traveller. Heater works well in keeping the room warm from the cold weather. Hotel seemed to be lacking in manpower as reception counter was not constantly manned by at least a staff during my stay. It was also hard for me to contact the hotel (either by call or by email) for support when I have further enquiries to make regarding an item which I might have left behind in my hotel room. Would recommend the hotel for its clean rooms and well-maintained amenities but would not recommend the hotel for its service.

The hotel was spacious and well kept, they had plenty of amenities as well as a washing machine, smoking area. More than you need for a home base! Check in was strange lobby was on 2nd floor, however staff were friendly. Great washing machine however did not dry your clothes

The toilet and shower was separated, and its one of the tinier accommodations we stayed at in Japan. Staff was professional and helpful. close to many different bus stop which is great!

Really cool places to stay. Close to Gion street and Nishiki Market.

Good location n new

The location of this hotel was perfect for us. Very clean and friendly staff.

location is good.

The location of the hotel is quite convenient. There is a convenience store downstairs and the station is nearby, but the room is not big and there is an uncle who is a very aggressive waiter.

First of all, I have to say that the toiletries in the room are good, all from POLA, and the bath salts are great. Every day, a small POLA set is given, including facial cleanser, lotion, day cream, and night cream. It is super considerate and easy to use! The coffee and tea at the small bar are full every day, and the daily mineral water is never forgotten. There is a laundry room and a microwave oven and ice machine on the second floor for self-service use 👍 There is also a dedicated smoking room. The location of the hotel is also good. It is in the small street opposite the entrance of Hanami-koji. It is less than 50 meters away. At night, the street is brightly lit at night, so you don’t have to worry about not having food. Turn left when you go out and you will reach Yasaka Shrine. Go straight to the entrance of Hanami-koji, and the river is not far to the right. Cross the river to the central business district. The location is impeccable! If there is a flaw, it is that the whole building is closed. Although the fresh air system is very good. But for someone like me who is claustrophobic, it is a bit uncomfortable and feels stuffy. If you don’t care, you can completely ignore it. The attitude of the hotel management staff is fine 👍

Close to the city center and shopping streets nearby. Lawson is there as soon as we get downstairs, and we have some meat and rice before we leave! ! So convenient! ! The location is 100 points! The hotel also has a bathroom with dry clothes, which is a great value for money!
