Top Gesshinin Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely recommend. One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in Japan, don’t underestimate it!"

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, food was great restaurant and bakery were fantastic."

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"This property was walking distance to a bunch of markets such as Nishiki, Termachi, etc. There are lots to do around the area and very close to Kamo river with restaurants. I got sick when I got to Kyoto so the staff gave me English speaking medical clinics around the area. The property is nice and has laundry downstairs but there is a long wait time as everyone is trying to wash/dry their clothes. The breakfast is decent even though it is a bit pricey for Japan I would say. But there are variety of food. We also upgraded our room upon check in to have more space and they were able to accommodate pretty quickly."

Kyoto Granbell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location of this hotel. The room was a little small compared to our others throughout the stay but we had an amazing, wall to wall king size bed. Just wish there was an small area in the room for luggage"

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Very hospitable! However our last room was very small. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"

THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC

10/10 Excellent

"A spotless hotel. Very quiet. Great breakfast."

APA Hotel Kyoto Gion EXCELLENT

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, right in middle of Gion. Close to everything. Short walk to 2 subway stops/lines. Close the shopping district, just across the river. Lots of stores and restaurants close by, small alley ways w local places to eat and shop. Rooms are clean and well appointed. We had adjoining rooms, good space, comfy beds. A bit firm but still comfy, same w pillows. Not the super soft fluffy kind, but Ok for me. Breakfast was good. Small, but lots of choice w some English/American options and nice Japanese/ local offerings. More than enough to start the day. Would definitely stay here again when I return to magical Gion, Kyoto."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in the middle of the shopping centre. Close to plenty of restaurants and bars."

Gion Elite Terrace

10/10 Excellent

"Very impressed with Gion Elite Terrace! From the moment we were greeted by the staff, to the size of the rooms, the bathroom (with sauna and rainfall shower) , the hotel cleanliness, and overall access to everything in Kyoto. Free Tea and coffee downstairs in the lobby made it nice on the way in and out throughout the day. Hotel has shared umbrellas for the guest to use- which was a big perk since we were there at the tail end of the rainy season. 7-Eleven and Lawsons right around the corner made it super easy for any last minute treats. Can't recommend it enough and will definitely be coming back."
