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.

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.

The staff was super friendly and they had some very good recommendations for food around the area. The hotel is located 10 min walk from many bars and restaurants and from tourist attractions. The hotel was clean and amenities were good in general. While there were no safes in the room they did have some in the lobby easy to access and right in front of the front desk. Only bad thing was the breakfast offered. The bread was stale and it looked as if it had been there for a week, other than the bread there was nothing and juice was offered in juice boxes.

First, the location is excellent. In the Gion district, an easy walk from beautiful historic temples shrines and streets. Numerous good nearby restaurants. The room was tiny, but one expects that in Japan. Staff was helpful and friendly enough. The only downside was the free "breakfast". Hardly worthy of the name. Several types of bread rolls, a choice of juicebox, and horrible instant coffee (much better coffee in the room). Margarine and jam to go on the rolls, but you are expected to spread it with a coffee stirring stick (!). Almost worthless as a breakfast. Fortunately we found a nearby grocery store (Fresco) from which we could stock our tiny in-room fridge with yogurt and fresh fruits as well as some dinner meals. So recommended overall with that qualification.

Kyoto Inn Gion the Second was so conveniently located in, well, Gion! I was so glad we decided to stay in this neighborhood, as it was close to many of the tourist spots I wanted to visit, within walking distance to convenience stores, restaurants/shops, and even a laundromat. The staff was extremely helpful, providing directions and calling us cabs with pleasure. The rooms I booked were small, though, so if you have 3 visitors, you may want to look for larger rooms or split the party. Aside from that, I noticed the rooms were also exceedlngly clean. 10/10!

This is a fabulous hotel in a perfect location in Kyoto. Getting to the hotel from Kyoto Station by bus is very simply and quick and the bus stops only minutes from the hotel. The area arround the hotel is simply stunning to walk about and feels like the set of a Movie. I just loved the area of this hotel and it was only a short walk into the main area of Kyoto. The hotel is lovely, the staff were very helpful and the rooms are of a very good size for Japan. Very nice local touches to the room and everything you need for your stay. The room has a fridge and a pod coffee maker where various kinds are available free in the reception along with other things you may need like cloths and toothbrushes. I couldn’t fault the hotel in any way it’s a lovely place to stay in a lovely area of Kyoto Gion.
