The location was perfect for us. It was just enough off the beaten path to not feel busy and touristy, but within walking distance to a number of sights and transportation options. The staff here are wonderful! They were helpful with restaurant recommendations, anything we needed for our room, and were just genuinely so kind. Our room was spacious and the layout allowed for lots of places to put our stuff. It was definitely our favorite room on our trip! I also have to put in a word for the cafe across the street, Le Bac a Sable. While the baked goods are not Japanese, they are yummy. The tarts, specifically, are amazing! That paired with their wonderful bold coffee became a favorite addition to our day. ##### Angela Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 15 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful rooms, large, spacious, functional, great amenities and options available.

Across the street from train station allowed us to get around easy. 10 minute walk from the river with lots of food options. Place itself was clean and spacious. Free coffee in the mornings in the lobby. Staff and everyone was very friendly and greeted us every time we walked by. Would highly recommend staying here. ##### Liam Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abimarie 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best hotel ive stayed in ##### Abimarie Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful stay, was there over two weeks and enjoyed every day! ##### Douglas Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandra 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities A perfect, new and exceptionally clean hotel within easy walk to the heart of Gion.

Really pleasant and nice workers. The ambiance and decor is so calming in a traditional modern Japanese style. Didn’t have breakfast included as an option, however the hotel does sell açaí bowls with bread. They have free coffee, water, and tea for all guests. Desk attendant helped us send our luggage to another hotel. ##### Maya Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gareth 20 Oct 2023 This was our fifth hotel stay in Japan and the most expensive. It was also the most disappointing. Our room (despite what other reviews say) was small and we had to move because of a very strong smell in our shower. The breakfast counter was dark and unfriendly - any utensils have to be booked out. A note of where to buy supplies would have been really helpful - Fresco Supermarket and Le Bac au Sable were great. There were no other amenities such as a washing machine and generally we felt let down. The staff were friendly but not helpful although we were there 5 nights. Cannot recommend. ##### Gareth Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Bach-Kyoto-Select.h8076320.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kiraku-Kyoto-Zeniyacho.h42077450.Hotel-Information) > > [THE GENERAL KYOTO Shijyo Shinmachi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GENERAL-KYOTO-ShijyoShinmachi.h89799984.Hotel-Information) > > [The Machiya Kazahaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-MACHIYA-KAZAHAYA.h34878806.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel ZIZI Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Zizi.h37754813.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Tsubaki-St.h46053153.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-MUSSE-Kyotoshijokawaramachi-Meitetsu.h52041999.Hotel-Information) > > [SOWAKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel-SOWAKA.h27267482.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Jokyoji.h54176990.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza Shijo-Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TOKYU-STAY-KYOTO-SHIN-KYOGOKU-DORI.h27557574.Hotel-Information) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [APA Hotel Kyoto Gojo Omiya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-APA-Hotel-Kyoto-Gojo-Omiya.h104888086.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pocket Hotel Kyoto-karasumagojo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-POCKET-HOTEL-KYOTO-KARASUMAGOJO.h51643765.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo.h3806437.Hotel-Information) > > [Yuzuya Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Yuzuya-Ryokan.h20931679.Hotel-Information) > > [MONday Apart Premium KYOTO Station ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-MONdayApartPremium-KyotoShichijoHorikawa.h72965339.Hotel-Information) > > [RESI STAY HEART](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RESI-STAY-Cotorune-KYOTO.h34114019.Hotel-Information) > > [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Station.h33777060.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo-PREMIER.h101206013.Hotel-Information) > > [Yadoya Kikokuso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Yadoya-Kikokuso.h43888011.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Ryokufuso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ryokufuso.h11899943.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Glad One Kyoto Shichijo by M’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-GLAD-ONE-KYOTO-SHICHIJO.h19563862.Hotel-Information) > > [KYOTO GRANBELL HOTEL hanareya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoutoguranberuhoteru-Hanareya.h72398371.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Traditional Machiya House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Traditional-Machiya-House.h17940263.Hotel-Information) ---
