Great Hotel!
We picked the Gion U-Bell somewhat blindly, but we were very happy with the attentiveness of the staff, the cleanliness and space is the hotel room for the three of us. It was great to come and rest after a full day of visiting the sights in Kyoto to refresh before going out for dinner.

The hotel is compact but clean, efficient and has good amenities. It’s in great location, although it was a little difficult to find at first because the signage is small and Google Maps sends me to the wrong location. Important to pay attention to the photo; otherwise, you may walk by a couple of times. Tip: look for that Tully Coffee shop on the corner and the hotel is across from a Lawson.

Fantastic hotel in Gion
We absolutely loved our stay at the Kyoto Gion U-BELL Hotel. The location was perfect, and we were able to walk to almost everything in town without having to take public transit. The hotel room itself was clean and spacious (water pressure was great), and the surrounding area as well as the building was nice and quiet. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Kyoto!

Shiny new hotel in a great location
Hotel is an extremely convenient location, and it's VERY new. Everything is clean and nice and in great condition. Staff were friendly and helpful. There's no vending machine on-site, but there's a Lawson literally across the street which has tons of options. Overall, I think for quality and location this is a great value. The room also had both a desk and a loveseat while not feeling cramped. I'd highly recommend.

Hôtel bien placé
Hôtel très bien placé tout près du quartier historique de Gion Chambre agréable Petit-déjeuner japonais classique Ce que je n’ai pas aimé c’est qu’on frappe à la porte de la chambre à 9h 57 pour me dire qu’il fallait partir à 10h Je le savais et j’allais sortir de la chambre à 10h mais je n’ai pas du tout apprécié cette façon de faire
