Minn Gion

Great place to stay and great location for things around Kyoto

The property was very good and located in the Gion district, which made it walkable to many of the most beautiful areas, including Gion and nearby shrines. The hotel was clean and had everything we needed. Having a laundry facility downstairs and a FamilyMart right under the hotel was very convenient. The only thing I would recommend improving is the check-in system. It was a little tricky to figure out unless someone from the front desk helped, which they kindly did for us. Other than that, everything was great, and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Great place. Awesome location. Enjoy.

We had a wonderful stay. Close to everything. 10/10

Its proximity to good restaurants, shops and train stations was a blessing!! Thanks!!

The room is spacious - all of our three luggage can be opened at the same time in the room. However, the motion-sensor light in the hallway is the most stupid design I’ve ever seen - there’s a slatted decider separating the hallway and tatami, where you sleep at night. So every time you turned over, the light sensed your motion and would be turned on.

Everything was very clean and organized. Good location to walk to restaurants and metro stations.

Loved it! Amazing location and convenience stores close by.

Very good location, acces to sauna. Nice customer service.

Nice apartment style hotel in Gion. Has a room with 2 super single beds and a tatami area for futons. The bath room has a washing machine dryer, which spin dry all the clothes by the time you wake up, no coins no queue. Family mart is just beside this hotel. Plenty of parking lots around.

The room was quite large and perfect for our family of 4. We loved having the laundry service right in our room. Onsen was lovely.

Great place in a convenient location. We loved it!

This place was great. We had the spa package with our hotel and it was well worth it after long walking days. It was me and 4 teen kids and it fit us all. It was a tiny cramped but as expected. The bedroom had its own thermostat which was nice so I could make it super cold. We really needed the washer/dryer unit but struggled figuring it out. It didn't fully dry everything each time so we had to hang stuff but it worked enough. The luggage storage area was nice and I thought it was convenient to everything with a small walk. Check in seemed confusing to other people but I got it by just paying attention. WI would definitely stay there again.

The room was large and spacious. We had to use private email rather than the Expedia platform to complete pre-check in requirements. The Expedia platform did not allow the property to share direct, accessible links. The self check in was easy and even without constant staff available you can easily get anything needed such as towels, linens. However if you need staff- there was no problem finding someone. The locations is great for easy access to Pontocho alley, Gion. Convenience stores are only minutes away. We easily used public transportation to get anywhere in the city. Our room’s floor futons and mattress covers had stains and were not well maintained. The western beds were very comfortable and clean. AC worked well. I gave 4 stars due to the stained futons/mattress covers and our room’s washing machine flooding our wash room. There were black particles in the water expelled from the machine. We used several towels to absorb the water. The property attendant said it was due to a dirty filter. This was not fixed before our departure. We used the property laundry facilities to wash and dry clothing. The cost is 400¥ for one wash/dry session.

good location

If you need space, this is the place. We enjoyed the location as well as the space that gave us ample room to relax. Walkable to everything we wanted to enjoy in the Kyoto area. Washer and dryer was really hard to understand and it took a full 24hours to do one load. Stovetop did not work, and we didn't realize that until after we bought eggs, bread, butter, etc.

All was good

Good location

Onsite self laundry and private onsen were nice. Rooms were spacious and having a kitchen was useful for our family. Great location to walk all over Gion and easy access to Sanjo train station. Hotel was renovated recently and very clean. Luggage storage and free umbrella use were nice added amentities.

We stayed 4 nights. Location was great but since we stayed less than 6 nights they didn’t do room service which was sort of a let down. Having to wash your towels and stack bags of garbage was not the greatest but it’s a limited staffed counter with remote check in/check out access so just be prepared with that in mind. There was one staff at the counter in the mornings but we didn’t have much interaction with him. Oh, and be prepared for the loads of laundry to take several hours to complete. Overall a good place to stay.
