Hotels in Gion, Kyoto

Amazing location with some cool bars and restaurants just 1 -2 blocks away. Really close to shops and Nishiki market. Staff friendly and helpful. Yes the rooms are small but have everything you need / god love Japan for using so cleverly small spaces! I highly recommend

The room is clean and tidy, and the transportation is convenient. It is very close to Sanjusangendo, Kyoto Museum, and Chishakuin Temple, and it is only one stop away from Kamogawa. It is quiet in the bustling city, small and exquisite, very good.

My family and I truly enjoyed staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Higashiyama during our recent trip to Japan. We found the rooms clean and elegant and the food in the restaurant to be very good. However the one thing that truly stood out was the warm and gracious service we received during our stay. Service: The service we received was truly above and beyond expectations. We had flown in on a red-eye flight from Singapore the night before our stay and were dead tired by the time we got to the hotel. The next day, we realized that our camera was missing and checked with the hotel if someone had turned it in. The front desk told us no one had, but then proceeded to help us trace back our steps to the last time we saw our camera at a restaurant in the Osaka airport. They then proceeded to call the restaurant for us and helped schedule a pick-up time for us at the airport lost and found. We are forever grateful for the hotel's front desk's help in finding our camera! Location: The hotel is conveniently located in the Higashiyama area of Kyoto. From the hotel, we were able to easily take short cab rides to local sites such as Kiyomizu-dera and the Kyoto National Museum. The hotel is also conveniently located near Kiyomizu-Gojō Station. Rooms: The rooms were absolutely spotless and clean. The beds were comfortable with thick bedding (perfect since the weather was on the cool side when we were there). The restroom was also split between a room containing the shower and tub with the toilet in a separate room. Dining: At the hotel, we had dinner one night and breakfast the two mornings we were there. Everything that we tried was very well prepared and delicious. At dinner we ordered a variety of plates to share including a salad, pasta, fish dish, and dessert. Breakfast was served in buffet format and included a variety of both Japanese and Western options. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future!

Best hotel, we hopped around to other top hotels in Kyoto but these guys went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing stay with them. Location is central next to the restaurant street / river and local buses. The hotel club lounge is nice to have a few free drinks and snacks before dinner, the suite is amazing and has a large wrap around outdoor balcony with privacy walls. Will definitely come back if I visit Kyoto again!

The photos both here and on booking do not do this hotel justice. It was so much more pretty. I stayed in much more expensive ones in Kyoto and yet I will 100% return here. The rooms are so beautiful, clean, cozy and cute, especially the tatami/japanese style ones. The bathroom was beautiful, with a separate toilet and separate bath and shower (and everything looking brand new). The staff is very kind and the location is simply perfect (and I had a great veiw of Gion from my window).

We stayed for 2 nights. We slept well. It's in quiet neighborhood. It's a cozy hotel. Bath amenities were good, bath towels were good and clean. Everything was clean. The sink, toilet, shower, hot water worked well. The twin bed was quite large for Asian people and clean. We just walked to Fresco supermarket. Only the location might be difficult to find without wifi.

We hv a very terrible experience during our check-in. We booked as 2 adult and 1 kids in 7 months ago. When we checked in, the staff said the hotel had changed its policy and children is not welcome and it was not allowed to hv 3 ppl in a room. We hv a book additional room but the hotel was already fully booked. They could offer an upgrade to VIP room with only 100k yen per night. They said it was a expensive option, and it was fine if we didn't accept it. Of coz, we didn't cause that wasnt our fault. I said it was allowed to hv a child with us when we booked it. They said I need to give evidence for that. Luckily, my booking receipt showed ”Child is allowed if they can sleep in the same bed”. After checking, they said they gave us an exception and allowed my kid to stay with us this time. ”But next time, you need to book 2 rooms but u probably won't come again.” We are definitely not coming again. To be honest, the hotel has gd facilities and good location. Amazing views in the bar and common bath. I think if u were couple, it would be fine. But if any issue happens in ur booking, I don't think they would be helpful.

My friend and I arrived at the hotel early in the morning. The staff was nice and kept our luggage for us so that we could go out and explore the beautiful city of Kyoto. First impression, the exterior looks very Kyoto-esque, and the interior has a little hint that the brand is from Thailand. We got a room on the basement floor, which at first felt a little weird, but it was nice, clean, and had a window that allowed us to see the sky and get some fresh air. There was no moldy smell at all, which was a relief. Also, we spent most of the day outside anyway. Room is as cozy as the name suggests in the booking and it is super clean. The size is standard for Japan, with a smart design that includes normal-sized luggage storage under the bed. Bed is soft and the linens are clean. Only weird thing at first was that the sink is separate from the bathroom. But on second thought, maybe that's a good thing; one person can take a shower while another can brush their teeth. The shower room has a standing shower with great pressure and temperature control, but no bathtub. The amenities smell good, and the towels are good quality. Surprise! The free WiFi internet is super fast. I was able to back up 100 photos and 10 videos with no problem. Location: The hotel is in the middle of two underground train stations, so you can get in and out easily by walking for 3-4 minutes. However, for the first day, especially when you have a lot of luggage or big oversize luggage, and if you don't want to go around crossing the street looking for escalators or elevators, it's better to take a taxi. The hotel and Kyoto station are not too far apart at all. I know that taxi rides in Japan are rumored to be expensive, but it's up to you if you want to save your bag or your back. After you are free from your luggage, you can even walk 5-8 minutes to the shopping street or even 20-30 minutes to the famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which we did after recovering from 10 hours of sitting at the airport and on the flight. Since Kyoto has a lot to explore and there is great food out there, even food from combini Family Mart and 7-Eleven nearby, we did not try the room service or restaurant at the hotel. Sorry about that. In conclusion, this is a brand new, renovated hotel that is clean and has a nice location. I will revisit and recommend it to my family, friends, and favorite colleagues.

The hotel is located away from the bustling tourist street Shijo-dori, which leads to one of the main shrines, Yasaka Shrine. We had a room on the 9th floor with a partial view of the city (for safety reasons, the windows only open 45 degrees in the vertical plane). A special feature of the room is the bathroom with a massage shower! After a busy day, it's very nice to relax your whole body under the hot streams. The breakfast is very tasty and filling, even though it is served in a box. All the products are fresh, and over the 3 days, we received 2 different boxes. Coffee, water, ice, and skincare toiletries are available 24 hours in the lobby. The location is convenient, making it easy to get to all the attractions and Kyoto Station by both subway and bus. The cleanliness in the room and throughout the hotel is of the highest standard!

I stayed overnight on Saturday during the autumn leaves season in late November. I was able to stay at a very good price, probably because I made a reservation quite a while ago or because it was influenced by COVID-19. Moreover, it was a new hotel, so the evaluation is high. I went by city bus, but the nearest is Keihan Gojo. It is also within walking distance from Gojo Subway Station. The type of luggage is deposited in a dedicated locker (wire lock). I was grateful to the staff without hesitation, but it would be safer to have a bag that is locked firmly. There will be few cash payments, so there will be no problem even if it is limited to cashless payments. The interior is Japanese-conscious, so it will be accepted by foreigners as well. I didn't use it because breakfast was somewhere else, but it's a bit narrow next to the lobby on the 1st floor. It's in the middle of the city, so you won't have any trouble with convenience stores or restaurants. The department stores and downtown areas of Shijo Kawaramachi are within walking distance. The room is new and easy to use and there is no problem at all. If you have a good value plan, this is the hotel you want to use next time.
