This hotel is a great starting point for the Gion area. Just a five minute walk to the bus stop, or a 10-15 minute walk to the rail station. All the staff were polite and courteous. We arrived early, so we were able to leave our bags there, and when we checked in, they were already in our room. It doesn’t have a pool or gym, but you can expect a quiet location with mostly adult clientele. There were a lot of beverages available without charge (water, tea, and beer). It was a nice mix of modern with traditional touches. Would recommend to couples. Added bonus for us, there were multiple grounded plugs for our American electronics.

A beautiful and spacious hotel within walking distance to most shrines and temples. They offer complimentary coffee and lattes and water along with ramen noodles for guests. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the general feel is very pleasant. I would highly recommend this place.

Hotel is in a great area for Gion tourist area, such as Kiyomizu Dera & Maruyama Park are both within a short walking distance. Bus and trains are 10-15 min walk. Plenty of great restaurants close by. The hotel is serene and tranquil and you cannot hear noise from street or other guests in next rooms. Rooms are spacious, even the bath tub was huge ! Free laundry available, but you need to supply own detergent. Private Onsen on 4th floor, that can be booked through concierge. Internet was great and staff were friendly & helpful.

The most incredible hotel, facilities, staff and the look and feel of the place was brilliant. Couldn’t recommend enough. The massage chair was a life saver as well as the other spa facilities in room. The amenities were brilliant too.

The spa suite at Hotel Gion Ichirin is such a dream. We loved our room and private spa amenities so much, we barely wanted to leave the hotel. It was walking distance to restaurants, shopping and attractions like Yasaka Shrine. The staff was kind and it felt like we were the only guests there because it was so quiet and we didn’t bump into other guests. It was convenient they had a free washer/dryer machine and I loved getting the matcha latte from the coffee machine in the lobby.

Fantastic property! It’s in a quiet area of Gion, which really slows down at night, but easily walkable to popular areas. The room and service was fantastic, zero complaints. We loved the private spa/tub on the balcony. The steam room was also a big bonus after walking so much during the day. I hope to come back here on our next trip to Kyoto!

Wonderful hotel. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond to help us after one of us left something valuable behind in the room. Hotel has a laundry we could use which was great to wash clothes in the middle of our trip. The coffee machine in the Lobby was really good and the fridge of complimentary water bottles was so appreciated each morning a we headed out to explore the city! Great location, easy walk to the train station or shopping area of Gion. Highly recommend!

The surrounding area is quiet, might be a bit hard to find restaurants, which open after 8 pm. There is a small but very nice restaurant next door which they yummy udon and goyza. I think it close on Monday. Hotel has complement coffee machine in foyer and instance noodle for free. Which is very handy.

This hotel and rooms were gorgeous. Big bath with TV. I would stay here again and recommend to friends and family. No breakfast on site but we do not have breakfast anyway. Room had fridge, kettle and microwave. Free drinks in the fridge. Free water and coffee between 7am and 9pm in the lobby. Free laundry on top floor. My only criticism is that rooms are not serviced daily. You have to put dirty towels and rubbish out each morning. A fresh bag is hung on your door. If you stay more than 4 days you can ask for room cleaning after 2nd day. The room quickly got dusty and floors messy and I find seeing this not relaxing. I personally like to come back to a made bed and swept floor and a little spruce up. I would suggest to the hotel they offer every other day cleaning. Other than this it is perfect.

Really nice property - we were very happy with the generous bathroom and bedroom size, right in the middle of the Gion area. The room felt luxurious while not being over the top. We had a few free beverages in the fridge and downstairs. The bathroom amenities were very nice as well. Staff was kind and since their recent renovation the entire hotel and our room were all very clean and new with nice design features. Would stay here again without hesitation, no negative aspects!

I don’t know why this hotel has received such a high rating. I was deceived. While it was clean and the front desk was polite, there was no window in my room at ALL and the room itself lacked any of the charm the property listing promised. It’s overrated, overpriced, and disappointing.

Staff are polite and facilities are good (it doesn't have dining room or kitchen but the little restaurant directly opposite is a good option). Would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, and would book it again. The rooms were so spacious, clean, and it was very peaceful. It was an excellent location in Gion, and we had no qualms with the service. The only thing to be aware of is the rooms are beautiful, but there are no true windows. I knew this before booking, but still would recommend if you are okay with that! I also thought it was overall a relatively good value with other similar places to stay in the area.

This is honestly one of my favorite hotel rooms of my life. I stayed in the room with a king bed. It was a spacious room that included a couch. It was easy to stream to the TV and the TV is visible from the couch and TV. The air conditioning worked great and the room also has a large tub with jets. The shower and bathroom were great as well. Finally, the room’s aesthetic is beautiful and looks traditionally Japanese. They also held our luggage for free after checking out. Also, the WIFI was good and the staff were friendly and spoke decent English.

The location is perfect—right in the heart of Gion, yet quiet and peaceful. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable, with a spacious bathroom that felt relaxing after a day of exploring. The amenities were some of the most thoughtful we’ve ever seen in a hotel—it really felt like everything was considered. The staff were attentive and welcoming, and the lobby was a lovely place to unwind. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations and made our stay in Kyoto truly memorable.

We LOVED our room and the hotel as a whole. Our bathroom felt like a spa bathroom with the amazing deep soaking tub and intense water pressure. My only complaint would be that they made housekeeping really inaccessible (had to be requested AND you would have to leave your room for something like 3-5 hours???)This felt kind of extreme and a little cheap for such a wonderful property. Either way I highly recommend this hotel!

Amazing property. Good free laundry and complimentary drinks in the minibar. Two things to improve: #1the room location, my room was in the first floor and barely didn’t have light #2 no daily housekeeping. The purpose of staying at a hotel is to be removed from your daily chores, that’s why you pay for a hotel instead of an apartment. There wasn’t an option for on request neither. Only housekeeping after 3 nights. I don’t want to change my sheets but I would appreciate to have my bed tidy up.

Room had fridge, kettle and microwave. Free drinks in the fridge. Free water and coffee between 7am and 9pm in the lobby. Free laundry on top floor. My only criticism is that rooms are not serviced daily. You have to put dirty towels and rubbish out each morning. A fresh bag is hung on your door. If you stay more than 4 days you can ask for room cleaning after 2nd day. The room quickly got dusty and floors messy and I find seeing this not relaxing. I personally like to come back to a made bed and swept floor and a little spruce up. I would suggest to the hotel they offer every other day cleaning. Other than this it is perfect.

Staying at Hotel Gion Ichirin was such a wonderful surprise. The hotel feels modern yet still carries an authentic Kyoto charm. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Gion, yet quiet and peaceful. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable, with a spacious bathroom that felt relaxing after a day of exploring. The amenities were some of the most thoughtful we’ve ever seen in a hotel—it really felt like everything was considered. The staff were attentive and welcoming, and the lobby was a lovely place to unwind. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations and made our stay in Kyoto truly memorable.

This hotel is incredible. The lobby is beautiful, staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms are spacious and renovated. The location is ideal for exploring Kyoto but also on a quiet side street.

Great place to stay in Gion. Easy walk to everything and taxis easily found. Hotel is quiet and rooms and bathrooms were in great condition. You cannot check in until 3pm but they stored our luggage. Also this hotel does not have food service on site but easy to walk to restaurants and family mart for beverages. I would definitely recommend staying here.

This hotel is a great starting point for the Gion area. Just a five minute walk to the bus stop, or a 10-15 minute walk to the rail station. All the staff were polite and courteous. We arrived early, so we were able to leave our bags there, and when we checked in, they were already in our room. It doesn’t have a pool or gym, but you can expect a quiet location with mostly adult clientele. There were a lot of beverages available without charge (water, tea, and beer). It was a nice mix of modern with traditional touches. Would recommend to couples. Added bonus for us, there were multiple grounded plugs for our American electronics.

A beautiful and spacious hotel within walking distance to most shrines and temples. They offer complimentary coffee and lattes and water along with ramen noodles for guests. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the general feel is very pleasant. I would highly recommend this place.

Hotel is in a great area for Gion tourist area, such as Kiyomizu Dera & Maruyama Park are both within a short walking distance. Bus and trains are 10-15 min walk. Plenty of great restaurants close by. The hotel is serene and tranquil and you cannot hear noise from street or other guests in next rooms. Rooms are spacious, even the bath tub was huge ! Free laundry available, but you need to supply own detergent. Private Onsen on 4th floor, that can be booked through concierge. Internet was great and staff were friendly & helpful.

Our favourite out of the four hotels we stayed at, during our Japan trip! Very serene atmosphere, spacious, clean, beautiful room! The staff were friendly and helpful! Though they didn’t have dining or amenities, there were walkable restaurants and attractions nearby, so that didn’t bother us. They had great wifi and access to English programming on the tv.

Great, clean hotel that mixes traditional and modern very well. Very attentive staff, free coffee and water bottles in the lobby. Wifi could be improved a bit but you'll spend most of your time exploring the beautiful surrounding area anyway.

This boutique hotel is pretty and very clean. I love the decor. Room is smart arrange, hence I feel it is quite spacious. The surrounding area is quiet, might be a bit hard to find restaurants, which open after 8 pm. There is a small but very nice restaurant next door which they yummy udon and goyza. I think it close on Monday. Hotel has complement coffee machine in foyer and instance noodle for free. Which is very handy.

Excellent rooms (one of the best I have stayed in). No views from the rooms, but you can open the windows partially for some fresh air. Rooms are spacious, elegant and comfortable. Staff are polite and facilities are good (it doesn't have dining room or kitchen but the little restaurant directly opposite is a good option). Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel and rooms were gorgeous. Big bath with TV. I would stay here again and recommend to friends and family. No breakfast on site but we do not have breakfast anyway. Room had fridge, kettle and microwave. Free drinks in the fridge. Free water and coffee between 7am and 9pm in the lobby. Free laundry on top floor. My only criticism is that rooms are not serviced daily. You have to put dirty towels and rubbish out each morning. A fresh bag is hung on your door. If you stay more than 4 days you can ask for room cleaning after 2nd day. The room quickly got dusty and floors messy and I find seeing this not relaxing. I personally like to come back to a made bed and swept floor and a little spruce up. I would suggest to the hotel they offer every other day cleaning. Other than this it is perfect.

Really nice property - we were very happy with the generous bathroom and bedroom size, right in the middle of the Gion area. The room felt luxurious while not being over the top. We had a few free beverages in the fridge and downstairs. The bathroom amenities were very nice as well. Staff was kind and since their recent renovation the entire hotel and our room were all very clean and new with nice design features. Would stay here again without hesitation, no negative aspects!

Wonderful hotel. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond to help us after one of us left something valuable behind in the room. Hotel has a laundry we could use which was great to wash clothes in the middle of our trip.

Great location, easy walk to the train station or shopping area of Gion. Highly recommend!
