10/10 Excellent

Very nice and quaint hotel.
Jesse, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful boutique hotel on a lovely quiet street in the heart of Gion. Our room was on the 4th floor with a view over the rooftops of Kyoto- very charming. Decent size room for a small hotel. Staff was friendly- location just perfect.
stephanie, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent stay. Staff was very friendly, and would help out at a moment’s notice. We stayed with 3 people and the rooms were quite spacious. Would recommend this property not only for its beauty but also as it is so close to the very busy commercial areas, yet shielded from all the hustle and bustle.
Daniel, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was an amazing gem of the property that was close to the GION district. Super walkable to the metro center we traveled all over the Kyoto area, including going to Nara Park and the bamboo forest on the west side of town. The room was awesome for my family 04 with two small boys and everything was on point easy check-in zero hassle and just overall pleasure to be there.

Ling, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our stay at the hotel Gion Misen in Kyoto was fantastic. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the Train Station, making it easy to explore Kyoto and beyond. Our room was very clean. We also appreciated the variety of great dining options available right within the hotel. The hotel is only a few step away from a beautiful river. The staff were polite, professional, and always ready to help. Thank you for a wonderful and comfortable stay—we hope to return again soon!

Ian, 9-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel is in a lovely quiet and traditional area of the city. The staff are extremely helpful and attentive. The rooms are a great size compared to chain hotels we have stayed at. Separate toilet and shower, tea, coffee and toothbrushes, razor kits. I can’t fault this hotel at all and would recommend staying here if you want somewhere close to town but away from the crazy.
Joanne, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

This hotel is very western (nothing wrong with that), so if you’re looking for a more authentic experience, this is not it. Staff was fluent in English. Pillows were super thin. Nice location. For $185 a night, you can do better. This hotel is not located on the river as one of the pictures might lead you to believe.
Mathew, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location to the Gion area. Lovely back streets of Kyoto!
Cynthia, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We have a wonderful stay. The room size was a bit smaller than I had anticipated but that is to be expected given the location. And it’s away from the chaos. The location was perfect and was close to the public transportation and right in the Gion district. There were times I felt transported to the past which was surreal and made the trip more enjoyable. Staff were amazing and very friendly and helpful. Don’t expect a luxurious experience but expect a truly authentic one which is priceless.
Marcelino, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

ELENA, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Traditional architecture and exceptional hospitality. Our room was beautiful, spacious and included two beds elevated off the floor with futon bedding, a Japanese style bathroom, a table and 2 chairs set next to a large window with shoji screens. Lots of amenities. Tasty Japanese breakfast. Staff were fluent in English and open to conversations.
