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

The room was comparably big. The beds were comfortable. The location was in walking distance to public transport and the center!

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.

Our stay in Gion, Kyoto, was one of the highlights of our trip. The location was absolutely perfect—right in the heart of the most picturesque area of the city. After a long, exhausting day exploring temples and sights, it was such a relief to be able to take a peaceful evening stroll without needing to deal with transportation or long walks. Being based right there meant we could soak in the beauty and atmosphere of Gion effortlessly, even after sunset. The charm of the neighborhood, combined with the convenience, made this stay truly special.

Good sized room for 2 people. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel provided daily coffee pods and water. Other amenities could be picked up in the lobby. 2 washing machines in the main floor were great to use although drying took some time. All staff we encountered were excellent. 5 minutes walk to the train platform. 7-Eleven was just around the corner. Quiet at night. Lots of restaurant options in the area.
