Overall Ratings & Reviews Kyoto INN Gion the Second

Wonderful location close to everything in Gion and about a 3 minute walk to buses to get around the rest of Kyoto. Lovely staff, room had everything you could need for a three night stay. Having complimentary pastries, juice and ice coffee to start the day was a fantastic bonus. Would definitely stay again!

Walkable location and attention to service are very good. The breakfast can be improved.

Great stay. My room was large - for Japan, the bed was extremely comfortable and there was consistent hot water in the shower. The staff were very nice and accommodating. The complimentary breakfast was subpar but still good for a quick snack to start your day. The location was great, just minutes from busy areas, but in a very quiet location - across the street from a shrine/temple! Had a great time here and would return!

This was the perfect stay in Kyoto. The room was beautiful, very clean and spacious. I can't wait to stay here again!

This is a small hotel on a quiet street in a historic part of Kyoto. The rooms are nice and clean and the beds are western style. The staff are friendly and helpful, even booking us reservations at a restaurant. The breakfast is not fancy- mainly packaged pastries and juice. However, the hotel is a great value, a great location, and the staff go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. If I come to Kyoto again, I will stay here.

I liked the property condition. Breakfast was very basic. Staff was helpful.

This is the best hotel in Kyoto, excellent location, very walkable to gion area and near subway station. This is the second time we stay here and will always come back. The staff is great too and the hotel is pretty and cozy

The area is in the middle of Gion and ckose to many shrines and temples. The staf is great as well.

This little hotel is excellent. It has everything... - perfect location, so you can walk to the main streets easily and have a lot of food options around; - nice staff (although they don't speak much English, like anywhere in Japan, so you should use Google translate) - room interior is very nice, they even put rice windows from the inside, which helps with isolation plus it looks great. The only thing to improve here is that they could put a big mirror on one of the walls (so you can see your whole reflection, and it would visually enlarge the room) - amenities are great in general! they have coffee and pillow menu to choose from, at display on the reception - they have clever safe deposit box system at the reception, where you put your own codes - breakfast is small but very nice and they change it every morning. It is just pastries and coffee/tea, like you would get in a mini-market

Lovely stay, great location and nice staff. Also good value.

epic location

Im so glad to have stayed here, it was in the best location for all that i had planned for my trip in Kyoto. It was easy to navigate to all the places and restaurants etc that I needed to access and right in the heart of Gion. The roo. Was adorable and cozy yet plenty of room. Clean and the customer service was fantastic

The property was nicely located in Kyoto access to many attractions.

Uta, Oki and the all of the staff of Kyoto Inn Gion the Second were excellent.

The beds were super comfortable, room was generous size, and the area is very quiet. The coffee in the room is excellent. The hotel staff is never especially happy to see you. Perhaps this has to do with the incredible volume of tourists Kyoto has been overwhelmed by in recent years.

I had an amazing experience staying here. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They even put your luggage in your room for you if you leave your luggage with them early! They also offer to call restaurants for reservations since that's a big problem for travellers in Japan. The hotel itself is a bit far from Kyoto station, but close to another station (which have less lines). It's also EXTREMELY close to many temples, you can probable spend a week just checking out the Gion area.

Great location, good AC, and confortable beds. The water pressure was crazy high but you can control it easily

The hotel has a very traditional Japanese style, the room was slightly larger than the average, 10-min walk to the closest subway station and ladt but not least, in the heart of Kyoto’s Gion district.

Great

All the reviews are correct. Nice and quiet property, and the breakfast could use a complete upgrade.
