The property’s location and amenities were perfect for the low key quiet but convenient two night stay in Kyoto. We will absolutely be revisiting the Gion Misen but for a longer time next time. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms were extra clean.
The bathroom sink lighting was low, so if you are thinking to do beauty makeup bring a mirror and use the natural lighting from the room. I loved the mood lighting and have zero complaints. This was purely a suggestion
Good quality & stylish.
No space for 2 suitcases for 2 people. Tight space.
Wonderful location, on a quiet street but only a few minutes walk from the heart of Gion. Convenience store directly opposite the hotel. Room was very clear and beautifully decorated.
The laundry service is actually part of an apartment building opposite, and so did not feel as convenient as hotels who include laundry machines in the building. A small point, perhaps worth noting for some travellers.

There are nearby restaurants, a small grocery store across the street, an onigiri store a couple doors away, a small laundromat is less than a block away (bring 100 and 10 yen coins) and the Kyoto Sanjo metro and bus stop is a...
I do have one caveat regarding the room. Our beds were located on a low platform so for practical purposes you're sleeping on the floor. We were aware of this and have no problem with that however the mattresses themselves were extra firm and it made for sore spots on larger people like myself. If this doesn't bother you, then I do recommend staying at this hotel. And yes, we've slept on futons ma...Read more
Well located, beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and impressively quiet throughout our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We could tell that they really care for their guests.
Not a dislike, just a suggestion: the vegan breakfast could include more local touches—a pastry or a mochi would have been a lovely addition.
Excellent location, great staff
Incredibly uncomfortable bed and pillows
