Location and space 10 out of 10

Family with 3 teenaged boys. The bedroom had 2 full sized beds. The boys slept in the mat sleeping area. Not a lot of room in either room for luggage but the living room and dining area gave us ample space to spread out. The shower was great. We paid to use the spa twice and that was nice. Location was beyond perfect. It was close to everything. We stayed in four different hotels on this trip and this was by far everyone’s favorite space.

Spa and sauna absolutely amazing. Location is also a plus and a slow run in the morning to Kiyomizu dera before the crowd made it extra special.

Great Value, Comfortable stay.

Great location, good sized room. Self-storage of luggage for early arrival a big plus. 15 and 21 year-olds slept on couches with provided linens. Said the couches were pretty hard. Still overall, highly recommend.

spacious and clean. It's in the centre of Gion and is close to the attractions in the area. Just a little far, like 5-10 min walk, from the nearest train station.

Hotel was really bad and not worth a price. I got vip access although spa/sauna was not free. There is no one available st staff pretty much the whole day. One person is managing entire staff in the hotel. No tea/coffee in the hotel. Amount paying for this hotel is not at all worth it. Spa/sauna Nd laundry is also not free. So much to improve to worth the price of this hotel. Would never recommend anyone.

Excellent location. Very nicely appointed. Helpful staff. Spacious. Close to subway transport, food, shopping and walkable to key areas of interest on both sides of the river esp Gion (Yasaka shrine, Sannaeizka and Nineizka, Kiyomizu-dera) and Pontocho, Nishiki markets. Family mart next door. Only minor negative was no washer/dryer in our room type but I believe others do. However, there were 2 in basement. The Japanese style bedding was very comfortable for the four of us - 2 teenagers and 2 adults. I’d stay here again for sure.

Very clean, spacious & convenient location with everything you need (family mart & lawson directly downstairs that was handy). Whilst it was virtual reception, the staff was usually wondering about and can easily call to speak to someone. Overall a very pleasant stay with the family.

My family and I loved how this property is quiet and relaxing and close to the station, yet it's away from all the hustle and bustle. It was very spacious and had a washer/dryer. The lady at the check in counter was very helpful and friendly. We would definitely check out other MInn Gion locations when we return to Japan.

Fantastic hotel within walking distance of a metro station. Very conveniently placed, being close to both a metro and a train station that’ll get you where you want to go in Kyoto. Quiet area, but also within walking distance of a popular downtown/commercial shopping district/market with lots of food options, so it’s an ideal location.

Walkable to several transport options and many parts of Gion. We had no problems getting anywhere in Kyoto from there, and could walk to many of the places we wanted to go. The apartment style room was larger than than any hotel room we've stayed in, which made it very comfortable and for an enjoyable stay where we weren't tripping over ourselves and our stuff like often happens in hotels.

When arrived around 3pm local time, I was greeted by a staff member who actually spoke a pretty good English. She assisted me with various needs so I felt easy and home already. The room was nicely equipped just like what it stated and all worked flawlessly. Nice to have Family mart store located on the first floor of the same building. Definitely & highly recommend Minn Hotel chains when traveling to Japan. Couldn’t be happier.

Not pleasant

Hotel looks pretty new but don’t provide service at all during my four nights stay which make the experience not pleasant. They don’t change towel, and no service at all. No one at lobby, all self service. Besides the newer facility, I didn’t find the stay enjoyable. And sensor light at all way is a very stupid design that wakes up everyone at night when a person step into the room. I Wouldn't stay here again.
