We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel in Gion, really close to the subway station and super classy area full of bars and restaurants! Only downside is compared to other hotels we stayed in Japan the facilities were not as great, no vending machine etc. Would definitely stay here again when we are back on Kyoto

Thank you for staying at Rinn Gion Kenninji. We are glad that you enjoyed our location near famous spots, such as the Kenninji or Hanamikoji, and just 5 minutes walk from Shijo Keihan Station. On the other side we are sorry to hear that you found our facilities not the best. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to meet you again in your next visit here in Kyoto.

Overall decent hotel experience
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It’s in a great location and the twin room offered amble space for two. The service was also great and we were positively surprised to learn that the hotel staff spoke decent English which is a rarity in Japan. We initially booked a double room but after viewing the room upon arrival we decided to pay for an upgrade to a twin room. The double bed was so small for western standards that it resembled a single bed more than a double bed. The only downside for us was the toilet. Like many Japanese hotels in this quality range, the bathrooms are tiny pods made entirely of plastic. It feels very similar to an airplane toilet and very NOT luxurious. I failed to spot this when booking the hotel to my wife’s dismay. Personally I was fine with it. This hotel does not use electronic keycards, but give you 1 key with a wooden block attached to it. You need to walk around with this in your pocket which to some may be a nuisance. Also, I actually forgot to hand back the key when checking out and had to pay 750yen to post it from Osaka. Overall I recommend this hotel - but only the twin room for couples. The beds can be pushed together.

Great location
It was in a great location close to the old parts of Kyoto but also the subway and the centre making it very easy to get around from. The rooms are really nicely done but very small. The bathrooms were particularly small and for 2 of us with luggage it was a bit of a right fit, but then we didn't spend much time in the rooms anyway. Nice to have Nespresso coffee in the room, this was the only hotel we stayed in during our time in Japan that offered this. We would recommend this hotel if you're visiting Kyoto and it was reasonably priced.

Small clean hotel in an excellent area for tourists. Very close to the historic streets where you can try to glimpse geisha. Staff were kind and helpful. Just a small comment that if you need to do laundry, the dryer is not very effective, and it took me 2 hours to dry a small load (costs 100 yen per 30 minutes of drying).

A beautiful property. Historical view from the window/balcony. Serene, balanced, upon entering, then again to the room. Bathroom set-up beautiful and convenient as shower, sink and toilet all separate. Tiny sofa and table gave us space for our maps. Not too much space for two small suitcases, but delightful surroundings. We did laundry in one of the four machines available. We enjoyed staying in Gion and would love to return to this hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful. They assisted us with restaurants and tea ceremony reservations.

Lovely Stay!
The room was very lovely. Overall this was a lovely hotel with professional and welcoming staff and a beautiful bento breakfast each morning. The only improvement I can recommend is to allow for more clothing storage. I believe that this is because it's more of a business travel property, but we were a couple on business and pleasure and the 4 hooks in the room were not enough for our week's worth of clothing. That said, we managed just fine. Also, I would recommend a room on the back side of the building, away from the main street. While it's a small street, it's quite busy. The street noise wasn't bad, but noticeable since the interior of our room was so serene.

Hotel review
This was a quaint, cosy hotel located about 5 mins walk from Gion Shijo station, 7-eleven, 2 mins from Kenninji Temple, and 10 mins from the Pagoda Shrine and Fresco, a food market with fruit etc. It is a little snug but fine for me and my 7 year old. There is a medical clinic across the road, however children are only seen by Pediatricians, so can’t help with kids. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We arrived at 12:30pm and check-in is 4pm, but they let us check-in right away at no extra charge. The lady that assisted us could speak good English. There were many great sushi and udon restaurants around us. I would recommend this and would stay there again. There are many taxis In the area to wave down.

Having just stayed in Shinjuku, we were very appreciative of how much space there was in our room! It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed as a base for part of our holiday (bath, shower, air con, TV, tea and coffee making facilities, microwave downstairs and even a washing machine downstairs). The location was great for exploring the city. There was also a mart about a 5 minute walk away. The look of the hotel was styled in a traditional manner. The staff were brilliant and very helpful and informative. I would definitely recommend.

Nice staff
My husband and I stayed here for our 5 day stay in Kyoto/Nara. The front desk staff was nice and spoke enough English to get by. They even offered an extra umbrella to us when it was raining. There is an actual key to get to the elevator and room, but warned not to lose it as it will cost money to replace. The room was a decent size (2 twin beds), but the bathroom was small and unfortunately smelt like urine that wasn’t ours. There was no natural light in the room, as the window was covered by the bamboo silhouette wall. They did provide all the bathroom amenities and even free water bottles each day. The front desk gladly kept our luggage after checkout so we could get breakfast. The hotel is 3-4 minutes from the Keihan line & walking distance to Gion and Pontocho.

Clean, excellent stay-comfy beds after a long flight. Excellent location, near many great sights and shopping options. Highly recommend! Communication prior to visit was helpful and assistance with directions and services nearby was much appreciated.

I was going for a more traditional style hotel in Gion and that's exactly what I got. It's nestled in the middle of Gion, surrounded by small shops, temples, restaurants. Location is perfect. Everything was great. I learned one thing about staying in Japan, you have to ask questions because the receptionists will not be forthcoming unless you ask specific questions. So, I did and they were very very helpful. It's also very close the major train and subway station so I saved money on transportation unlike In Tokyo where I paid taxis everywhere I went. Kyoto is more manageable than Tokyo. One piece of advise if you decide to book this hotel (and I would book it again), don't pay for the breakfast, it's not really worth it and it's not even a part of the hotel. Save your money and go eat somewhere else. I finally found Starbucks that opened at 8am and it was a 5 min walk. That was another challenging thing for me in Japan, nothing is open until about 10 or 11am. I definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there again.
