Excellent hotel for our family of three. Modern facilities, very clean, and helpful staff. Good location, close to heritage areas (though no views from the suite). Ask staff to help you make dinner reservations, as walk-in space was hard to come by in the better restaurants. Only quibble was the 6/10 breakfast buffet, which was probably just our tastes. Otherwise would definitely recommend, and would stay there again.

Our favorite hotel during our trip to Japan! We really enjoyed the large bathroom and shower area with tub, the room was a nice size with a comfortable bed, and we enjoyed having a balcony. Easy walk to the train and plenty of nearby temples and shrines. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in Kyoto.

Great location, needs a bit of a glow up.
A wonderful location in Gion on a quiet street but close to walking streets and nice restaurants. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind as well. My only reservation about staying here again would be that it isn’t as nice as it looks in photos. The rooms are a bit worn and pillows are cheap. I expected this to be a nicer hotel for the price but again, the location is the main draw.

Take a pass on this one
Lacks soundproofing so you can hear all the neighbors. My room had a random connecting door to the next room. Front doors do not have a security latch. Also, the bed sheets I got had visible stains and the walls are covered in marks. Overall, the rooms are big and the location is new and centrally located. However, you can easily find a better budget friendly option.

We love this hotel for multiple reasons. To begin with, it is the most English language friendly place we stayed in our recent trip to Japan as they have English speaking staff onsite every day. Located in the middle of Gion area, it is within a few minutes of walking distance to the popular sightseeing spots such as Kiyomizu-dera, Yasaka Pagoda and Yasaka Shrine, which gave us the advantage of leisurely visiting these places in the early mornings before the crowds arrived. The hotel room was surprisingly large in addition to being well maintained and tastefully decorated. This hotel will be on top of our list of choices when we visit Kyoto again.

This hotel is absolutely amazing. We learned it opened about a month ago. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The room was spacious for our family of 4 and was so very clean and the decor was inviting. The bathroom is just as amazing. It was large with a sauna and a separate glassed room with a shower and tub. The hotel offers free coffee, lattes etc at all times with a state of the art machine in the lobby. Breakfast is offered for free every morning. The hotel is in an amazing location in Gion and within walking distance of all the culture, food and shopping Gion has to offer. If you come to Gion Kyoto the Gion Elite Terrace is a must stay.

雖然交通唔算方便,如果去酒店推住行李上山都比較辛苦,推落山就還可以接受,建議你路程唔超過十分鐘的話,就坐的士吧,酒店行五分鐘左右有超市,附近亦都有便利店,又或者行五分鐘左右可以去到購物街個頭,酒店整體嚟講都好乾淨,始終近山,有昆蟲都無可避免
