Rinn Gion Shirakawa

The location, facilities and staff are top notch. It is located at the center of the Gion area. It is also a walking distance to most of the attractions like Hanami Koji Street, Nishiki Market, Yasaka Shrine (24hr), Pontocho Alley and Kiyomizu-dera. We did walk to Kiyomizu-dera but took the bus back to the hotel. There is a metro station nearby called Gion-Shijo Station, it will take you to Fushimi Inari Taisha (24hr). Also, there is a train station nearby called Kyoto-Kawaramachi Station, it has a slow train to Osaka-Umeda about 45 minutes ride. Did I mention there is a 7 eleven nearby as well.

The room is large and very comfortable, the bathroom is also large and like most hotels in Japan they provide amenities. the location is excellent, close to several traditional restaurants and two blocks from the metro, there is a seven eleven in front and it is very close to the center where they sell traditional items. The hotel staff are very polite and the rooms are very clean. The hotel is excellent for those who want to stay away from the noise and want a more reserved stay.

Modern comfortable accommodation in a perfect location between the main shopping districts and tourist attractions of Kyoto. Room is large for Japan and hotel is in quiet area with convenience store across the street. Bathroom is large, with separate wet room with powerful shower. We stayed three nights and really enjoyed it.

The hotel was amazing. The hotel provided everything we needed for a stay in the city. We were able refill our water, wash clothes and much more. The staff was lovely. Due to the weather we struggled a lot with the heat and the women from the reception were more than supportive. The room was very spacious and clean for 3 person. It was one of the bigger rooms we had during our Japan trip. The location was great too. Very close to the subway, great restaurants and stores nearby. We will definitely come back and we would recommend it to anyone coming to Kyōto.

The property was a small elegant property right on the edge of the Kamagowa river with the room facing the river and the restaurants on the opposing side which was a fabulous view especially in the early morning and late evenings. The location is in Gion with easy access to stations nearby to reach the popular sites in the area. Also close to some great restaurants and convenience stores which is a big plus.
