Rinn Gion Kenninji

Very good

Everything was excellent other than the rooms being small.

Clean, comfortable room with a decent sized working desk in a busy but still tucked away Gion location. A range of restaurants nearby. No breakfast/restaurant available, but 7-11 is a 5 minutes walk away.

Excellent value and location to stay in a historical neighbourhood, close to many attractions, shops, and food spots. The building and courtyard are pretty and tranquil - a nice welcoming to this beautiful city.

Excellent!

Excellent location on calm quiet street, love the shampoo/conditioner, staff were helpful, bed super comfy! Great option in Gion district! Will stay here again when back in area!

Friendly helpful staff ,the area is in the Gion district that took you back to the old traditional Japan

Such a wonderful hotel. Great location and staff! We will definitely be back.

The best part about this hotel is that it is near everything you’d want to see in Kyoto, and if not the station is close by. I feel like having to pay for the room to be cleaned whilst at a Hotel and not an AirBnb is crazy, and even when the hotel room was cleaned it remained dirty. We didn’t get our suitcases put into our room despite being told we would. Also we had bugs in our room. Not sure if they were bed bugs, but we and my wife got bit a lot. The hotel was the worst part of our trip to Kyoto

We stayed at the Rinn Gion Kenninji for 2 nights in September and it was one of our favorite places to stay it during our trip to Japan. There are temple grounds behind the hotel which was really cool to see from our room. A lot of locations were within walking distance (max 20 minute walk away). We will probably consider staying here again if we visit in the future.

Fantastic

Good location but the air conditioner is installed at a bad angle and it was blowing right in my face when I was trying to sleep

Absolutely fantastic hotel, big rooms, well located.

Location was great. Bed very comfy

Right in the middle of Gion. Excellent service, super clean, room size is decent.

Location was the best!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel in Gion, really close to the subway station and super classy area full of bars and restaurants! Only downside is compared to other hotels we stayed in Japan the facilities were not as great, no vending machine etc. Would definitely stay here again when we are back on Kyoto

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It’s in a great location and the twin room offered amble space for two. The service was also great and we were positively surprised to learn that the hotel staff spoke decent English which is a rarity in Japan. We initially booked a double room but after viewing the room upon arrival we decided to pay for an upgrade to a twin room. The double bed was so small for western standards that it resembled a single bed more than a double bed. The only downside for us was the toilet. Like many Japanese hotels in this quality range, the bathrooms are tiny pods made entirely of plastic. It feels very similar to an airplane toilet and very NOT luxurious. I failed to spot this when booking the hotel to my wife’s dismay. Personally I was fine with it. This hotel does not use electronic keycards, but give you 1 key with a wooden block attached to it. You need to walk around with this in your pocket which to some may be a nuisance. Also, I actually forgot to hand back the key when checking out and had to pay 750yen to post it from Osaka. Overall I recommend this hotel - but only the twin room for couples. The beds can be pushed together.

Perfect location, clean, modern hotel.

It was in a great location close to the old parts of Kyoto but also the subway and the centre making it very easy to get around from. The rooms are really nicely done but very small. The bathrooms were particularly small and for 2 of us with luggage it was a bit of a right fit, but then we didn't spend much time in the rooms anyway. Nice to have Nespresso coffee in the room, this was the only hotel we stayed in during our time in Japan that offered this. We would recommend this hotel if you're visiting Kyoto and it was reasonably priced.
