Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Gion Ichirin

Fantastic hotel - spacious rooms great location, friendly staff. Book the private bath for your own spa experience!

Overall outstanding and beautiful. Not much space to unpack in our room but we managed. Bed was super comfortable. Laundry took a long time. Not a great machine. Staff was great and friendly. The free drinks and noodles were a nice addition. Would definitely stay here again with less luggage.

Wonderful experience! Would definitely go back and stay here!!

Brilliant hotel, very beautifully made and with a lot of well thought amenities. We especially liked the beautiful lighting and the large bed! And we had a jacuzzi. The only downside was the TV sound, it was really quiet no matter what we did

Excellent rooms (one of the best I have stayed in). No views from the rooms, but you can open the windows partially for some fresh air. Rooms are spacious, elegant and comfortable. Staff are polite and facilities are good (it doesn't have dining room or kitchen but the little restaurant directly opposite is a good option). Would definitely stay here again.

Great location. Walkable to Gion, shops and restaurants. The staff are great and helpful. The room was amazing, however I found it odd that our room didn't have any windows we could look out, but it was still a nice room. The lounge area was really nice, in fact all the common areas were beautiful.

All the staff were amazing and the rooms were beautiful. Would come back again!

This boutique hotel is pretty and very clean. I love the decor. Room is smart arrange, hence I feel it is quite spacious. The surrounding area is quiet, might be a bit hard to find restaurants, which open after 8 pm. There is a small but very nice restaurant next door which they yummy udon and goyza. I think it close on Monday. Hotel has complement coffee machine in foyer and instance noodle for free. Which is very handy.

The most incredible hotel, facilities, staff and the look and feel of the place was brilliant. Couldn’t recommend enough. The massage chair was a life saver as well as the other spa facilities in room. The amenities were brilliant too.

Amazing hotel with a perfect location in the heart of Gion. Beautiful bedrooms, quiet and very friendly and helpful staff. We would stay here again.

A beautiful and spacious hotel within walking distance to most shrines and temples. They offer complimentary coffee and lattes and water along with ramen noodles for guests. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the general feel is very pleasant. I would highly recommend this place.

My husband and I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, and would book it again. The rooms were so spacious, clean, and it was very peaceful. It was an excellent location in Gion, and we had no qualms with the service. The only thing to be aware of is the rooms are beautiful, but there are no true windows. I knew this before booking, but still would recommend if you are okay with that! I also thought it was overall a relatively good value with other similar places to stay in the area.

Hotel is in a great area for Gion tourist area, such as Kiyomizu Dera & Maruyama Park are both within a short walking distance. Bus and trains are 10-15 min walk. Plenty of great restaurants close by. The hotel is serene and tranquil and you cannot hear noise from street or other guests in next rooms. Rooms are spacious, even the bath tub was huge ! Free laundry available, but you need to supply own detergent. Private Onsen on 4th floor, that can be booked through concierge. Internet was great and staff were friendly & helpful.

The property exceeded my expectations! It looks just like the photos, was spacious, close to enough to walk everywhere. The staff was lovely. It was clean. I would for sure book a stay here again. The only trouble u had was getting a taxi to pick up but just walked to the top of the road and had no issues

Wonderful stay in Kyoto. Gion Ichirin is in a great spot for sightseeing and shopping, and is in a very beautiful part of the city. The service is efficient and unobtrusive. Clean towels left every day and the room is cleaned on request. Lovely room with a fabulous bath, perfect to come back to after hours of walking!

Spa like Japanese style boutique hotel right in Gion for adults. So relaxing, quiet, with the most comfortable beds!! The only thing they could improve on is being more eco friendly. They drop off new towels everyday which is a bit much. Plus there’s lots of bottled water. offering pitchers for the rooms which can be filled up in the lounge would be a more eco friendly solution. Other than that I would highly recommend and will definitely come back again!

Hotel Gion Ichirin is a gem! Beautiful accommodations, excellent amenities in the room, great location. Would recommend and stay again

Excellent hotel in Gion, quiet and serene

Hotel Gion was wonderful! The property is beautiful and centrally located in the old district, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the hotel has thought of everything you could need: PJs, skin care sets, free drinks and snacks, etc. We had a wonderful stay and would come again!
