The location was good but no food in the Hotel made it difficult to find good food around , it would be very helpful if Hotel personnel would assist with some recommendations, instead of saying they do not know anything
Good location, modern interior, tidy, lots of space. Very convenient with kitchen, washing machine, big table and large sofa. The only downside was that the frying pan was scratched and the spatula was missing.

Room is very spacious, location is excellent-close to the subway station. Walking to the river is about 5 minutes. Only complaint I have is it’s difficult to dump our trash.

This was the best property we stayed in of all the cities we visited in Japan. The Gion area was beautiful and quick walk to various train stations. Our hotel had all the amenities in room with a washer dryer in one and a nice shower/tub. Would stay at any Minn Gion property again and recommend them as well.

Easy to find, close to train station. Short walk to busy area nearby for food and shopping, pretty easy access to public transport for everything we wanted to check out in Kyoto. The apartment layout was great, perfect for our family with young children. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

The room was big for a Japanese room . The beds are super comfortable and check in was a breeze. About 10 minutes away you can find a rooftop bar called Moon Bar.
We are so happy we choose the Minn Gion for our stay - The hotel was very well appointed and it was SO nice to have in suite laundry (and dryer) in our room part way through our trip. The hotel is located perfectly. You are a VERY short walk into old Kyoto and a short walk to incredible shopping and experiences.
We had two of our best meals at Hikiniku to Come and Gyoza Hohei - Both were absolutely worth lining up for and were a short walk from the hotel.
We had an easy time getting to the Tori Gates and out to see the Monkeys and Bamboo forest. The subway station is super close and made an early morning travel day to Okinawa very easy.
Perfectly located and really great rooms made this one of our favorite stays while in Japan. Thank you!

Conveniently located close to trains and buses, we used this as our base for exploring Kyoto. There's a convenience store next door, and it is a short walk to many restaurants, shops and transport to the must-see Kyoto sights. Washer/Dryer combo unit in our room was excellent, and we enjoyed the kitchen and dining area for the ability to make breakfast and snacks easily. Would highly recommend.

Nice spacious room, with washer dryer, very comfortable. Only downside is that there is no staff and unless you sre staying for more than 4 days, they dont clean your room. But otherwise checkin and out was very easy.
