Rinn Gion Kenninji

Absolutely brilliant location in Gion. Just across the river, away from the main shopping and entertainment area but only a short scenic 8 minute walk away. Tube station nearby so getting around was easy. Just outside the hotel were numerous local restaurants both affordable and expensive. Although we never tried any one of them they always seemed to be full every time we walked by. Room was a good size, bigger than I expected and the decor was nice. Has all the amenities you would need. Staff spoke good English and were polite and helpful

We booked the Japanese style room to accommodate 3 people. The design of the room was a very smart use of a smaller space but still felt spacious and had tasteful traditional elements. The shower and tub combo was also awesome with really good water pressure. Staff was very accommodating and kind. They were able to help us with luggage delivery as well. The hotel is in a fantastic location, walking distance to many great temples, Gion-Shijo station, the Kamo River, 7-11, great restaurants, a Kimono rental shop, and the main shopping street. Would stay here again!

Absolutely amazing space. This hotel is located close to a train station which made it easy to to several places from here. To give a few examples: Nara, Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama Forest, Kinkaku-Ji, are all easily accessible with a few rides on the train/bus. The hotel is also close to the Gion street and the city centre, giving lots of options for shopping and places to eat. We loved the hotel room, we had a twin bed, which gave us some space for luggage and our room had a tiny balcony for some fresh air. The AC saved us from the warm spring sun and gave us a view of some temples and shrines close to the hotel. The staff was also kind enough to take in our luggage before check in time and even brought it up to our room around check in time. For the location, the service and the room, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Everything about this hotel was excellent!! The staff were extremely helpful, we were able to communicate in English, offered luggage delivery and storage, and we're very communicative. The hotel is so conveniently located in the Gion area, right next to the beautiful and serene Kenninji temple which was absolutely gorgeous, easy walk to major attractions! Honestly one of the best stays we've had in Japan. Highly recommend this hotel if you want a convenient location, beautiful interior and exterior, and serene and traditional surrounding! Will be coming back here again. Thank you!

This hotel is amazing - book it! Our room had a balcony with a small zen garden! The bathroom has a shower and soaking tub which was wonderful after long days of walking. The hotel is clean, comfortable, spacious, there is a washer/dryer and the hotel is located just a few minutes walk from major sites/transportation but is in a nice quite area. The nearest 7-11 is a 3 min walk. We absolutely loved our experience here and would definitely stay again!
