Goin Misen was a bit of Old Kyoto. Our room had a Japanese garden outside main window. The entire staff was excellent in their desire to assist us. Very quiet surroundings. I will recommend this hotel to family and friends traveling to Kyoto. We will definitely stay here again!! Our appreciation to all the staff!

Safe, beautiful location on a quiet street but close to everything. Clean, comfortable, and quiet room with good amenities. Coffee, tea, ginger ale, and fridge provided. A 7-11 just around the corner, which we used for breakfast and many other items (including Pokémon cards for my son!). Couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay in Kyoto.

This property is on the smaller size. The room has a nice design, but lacking counter space (think of no room for laptop). It is on the outskirt of gion so it is about a 10-15 mins to center to gion tourist area.

Clean, quiet, helpful English speaking staff. Comfortable beds, air conditioning. Room had pot for hot water, tea and coffee. Small fridge with ginger ale. Terrible WiFi. Couldn’t make WiFi calls at all. Room was small. Towels were thin. Bathroom sink area was terribly dark. I used a flashlight to try and style my hair. Sink area is tiny. No room for 2 people’s toiletries in the sink area, . We wanted a western style breakfast, which required a 3 minute walk to the sister hotel. It consisted of a green salad with tomatoes, cereal, plain yogurt, white bread, jam, butter, little packets of cheese, hard boiled eggs, pineapple, orange slices and bananas. This hotel is in a good location for walking to shopping, restaurants and local sights. The breakfast was our least favorite of the 5 hotels we stayed in during our Japan vacation. I’m guessing the price reflected the location, more than the amenities. If that’s the case, I would choose to pay more and have better amenities. But the hotel certainly had everything necessary, just not what I expected.
