The hotel is located in a very convenient area in Gion and is easy to get to the subway station. The unit that we had was the standard one bedroom with two double beds and the unit was super clean, modern and spacious! My mom and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at Rinn Gion Shirakawa. The amenities that they provided were amazing too, ranging from a water fountain, laundry machines and a microwave and others… super great! I highly recommend this hotel if you plan to travel to Kyoto!

祇園の中心にありとてもアクセスがよかったです。低層と道路が近いこともあり車の音とかは結構聞こえます。お部屋などはとても満足しています！

Excellent place to stay in Gion. Really nice location, convenient. Attentive staff but they will not get in your way. Nice bathroom with a Japanese-style shower and tub area. Very clean and nice amenities. Although no breakfast provided, they provide suggestions and a convenience store is right across the street.

Absolutely stunning hotel. I was genuinely sad to leave. The room was beautiful and exceptionally well equipped. The standard was so high that I was guaranteed to be disappointed by my next hotel destination. Would thoroughly recommend and would love to return in future.

Booked this room in Kyoto for the extra space and comfort, and was very impressed! Having extra room for myself and my Brother and his family to relax in after a day of sight seeing was a great call. It wasn't cheap, to be sure, but it exceeded my expectations and is one of my all time favorite experiences with a hotel. Sometimes it is worth it to splurge a little, especially with how small most hotel rooms are in Japan. The llocation was also perfect! Highly recommend!!!

Small place in a great location surrounded by Kyoto's best streets. "no shoes" flooring inside, if that's a factor for you. Great bathroom, and overall was super comfortable.
