Hotels in Gion/Kiyomizu Temple, Kyoto

As we were traveling with two children, we opted for a two-bedroom apartment. It was very spacious and perfectly suited for a family trip. The hotel features self-service check-in, so I can't really comment on staff interactions. We completed the necessary registration via email beforehand, making check-in incredibly smooth and quick, taking only 2-3 minutes. The hotel is located about 3-4 km from Kyoto Station, which some might consider a bit inconvenient. However, since we took a taxi, we didn't find the distance an issue. It's very close to Hanami-koji and about 2 km from the Kamo River, and the surrounding area is wonderfully quiet. Cleanliness, as expected in Japan, was impeccable – you never have to worry about their high standards for hygiene. Our room also came with a kitchen, perfect for preparing simple meals and washing fruits. We also had the opportunity to experience the hotel's private spa and sauna, which were also excellent.

This hotel experience was fantastic! The room was brand new and fully equipped, with the smart toilet and heated showerhead being a real plus. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and I slept soundly. The environment was quiet and elegant, with lovely greenery in the lobby and carpeted hallways, making it a peaceful retreat. The service was attentive, with prompt service at the front desk and the children's slippers provided. The housekeepers kept the room spotless every day. The location was also convenient, with restaurants and shopping nearby. The value for money was excellent, and I'll definitely be back!

I stayed here almost a week. At first when I came the room smelled of smoke or something. Something didn’t smell right so I friend on the air freshener and it was better. The room didn’t have a chair so I had to ask for one so I can work at night. There was some dust in the corner and stains and a hair on the pillow but still relatively cleaner than some other places. The bed is very very comfortable. Water is hot - I really liked the shower :) convenient location and small perks like happy hour etc.

Hotel overall good, I like the design. The counter staff, Ms Ly is very helpful, breakfast variety can be improve.

Location needs to walk out to main road for local city bus, area is in Gion area, walkable to Main Street from nearest bus stop. Hotel is small however interior is decent looking. To note, no housekeeping service even though I stayed for 3 nights

large room, mini kitchen (with stove), good bathroom, clean. Fast check in, convenient location

Minn Gion Kamogawa Experience: Excellent Location, Value for Money I made the right choice staying at this hotel in Kyoto! The location is impeccable—right next to the flower path, right next to the Kamogawa River, and close to Sanjo. It's incredibly convenient for commuting, visiting attractions, and shopping. You can explore so much of Kyoto on foot—a true dream for those who want to spend their leisure time. The rooms are surprisingly spacious, especially the triple and quad rooms. They're spacious and comfortable for a group. The rooms come with a refrigerator and microwave, making them very convenient for daily use. The washer-dryer on the first floor is also very practical, costing around 500-700 yen and easy to use, making it perfect for short stays. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and worry-free. One minor drawback is that they don't provide cleaning or trash removal within seven days. It's a bit like a self-service B&B. It's comfortable for a one- or two-day stay, but longer stays might require more effort, and extra cleaning will cost extra. But overall, the price is very reasonable, and considering the location, space and convenience, the cost-effectiveness is really high. It is worth considering visiting Kyoto!

We had a great stay! The location is good, walking distance to Yasaka Shrine, Maruyama Park and Gion district. Lots of convenience store and restaurants nearby and there is also a 24 hr supermarket. It is near the bus stop where lots of Kyoto buses pass by. The place itself was clean and huge compared to other hotels. There is a separate kitchen and bathroom area with a tub. The bedroom is huge and we could unfold our luggage and still have enough space to walk around. They have provided a clothes drying rack and washing machine with detergent. There is drip coffee provided and some tea. Highly recommended if you want to stay in Gion district and walk around the Higashiyama area in Kyoto! There are lots to do around and a lot of temples within walking distance.

The hotel is in a very good location, the rooms are clean and comfortable. It is about a 10-minute walk from 4-jo, and a 3-5-minute walk from Keihan Railway and Tozai Line, which is convenient for going to Osaka and Nara. The room area is large for Japan. It is very suitable for family travel. One day there was a small problem with the room code and the staff came to deal with it very quickly. If I come back, I will choose to continue booking.

When I first came to Kyoto, I didn't know which one to choose for a hotel. I saw the attractive price of this one, so I chose this one. After arriving, I found it very pleasant. It is 10 minutes away from Kyoto Station and the transportation is very convenient. It is very close to the Kyoto National Museum and Sanjusangendo! It is convenient for eating and shopping near the house, and there are also family convenience stores and some drugstores nearby.
