祇園近くの最高の立地です。それでいて知恩院に隣接していてちても静かな環境です。最高の宿泊施設と思います。部屋も清潔だし大浴場もあり朝食もおいしくとても良かったです。更に良かったのが晨朝法要です。初めての参加でしたが、荘厳な気持ちになり1日が気持ちよく過ごせました。ただ、1月下旬に宿泊したので晨朝法要はとても寒かったです。次回は防寒対策をしっかりして参加しようと思います。総じて大満足です。次回も宿泊しようと思います。

Comfortable, quiet and close to some lovely parts of Kyoto. There is an 11pm curfew to get into the building though so not idea if you want to stay out past 11pm. The parking was confusing but once we knew where it was it was great. Very convenient and plenty of parking spaces. It is part of the Buddhist temple so offers a unique morning ceremony if that’s of interest. Staff are friendly and helpful.

What a wonderful experience! The location is perfect, secluded within the chion-in temple grounds away from the busy main touristy streets, but close enough to walk out to all the food, shops, and sightseeing spots. The hotel is very welcoming and tranquil, the rooms are spacious and beds were comfy. The staff were helpful and friendly. The on-site onsen was immaculate, so clean and relaxing, not busy at all. We were able to participate in the morning Buddhist ceremony which was truly enlightening to immerse yourself into first thing in the morning to set you off for a lovely day. We rented bikes and they gave us passes to park on the side of the hotel for free. We look forward to coming back to this hotel in the future with no hesitation! Thank you!
