10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the Rinn Gion Kenninji for 2 nights in September and it was one of our favorite places to stay it during our trip to Japan. There are temple grounds behind the hotel which was really cool to see from our room. A lot of locations were within walking distance (max 20 minute walk away). We will probably consider staying here again if we visit in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel in Gion, really close to the subway station and super classy area full of bars and restaurants! Only downside is compared to other hotels we stayed in Japan the facilities were not as great, no vending machine etc. Would definitely stay here again when we are back on Kyoto

Overall decent hotel experience
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It’s in a great location and the twin room offered amble space for two. The service was also great and we were positively surprised to learn that the hotel staff spoke decent English which is a rarity in Japan. We initially booked a double room but after viewing the room upon arrival we decided to pay for an upgrade to a twin room. The double bed was so small for western standards that it resembled a single bed more than a double bed. The only downside for us was the toilet. Like many Japanese hotels in this quality range, the bathrooms are tiny pods made entirely of plastic. It feels very similar to an airplane toilet and very NOT luxurious. I failed to spot this when booking the hotel to my wife’s dismay. Personally I was fine with it. This hotel does not use electronic keycards, but give you 1 key with a wooden block attached to it. You need to walk around with this in your pocket which to some may be a nuisance. Also, I actually forgot to hand back the key when checking out and had to pay 750yen to post it from Osaka. Overall I recommend this hotel - but only the twin room for couples. The beds can be pushed together.

Great location
It was in a great location close to the old parts of Kyoto but also the subway and the centre making it very easy to get around from. The rooms are really nicely done but very small. The bathrooms were particularly small and for 2 of us with luggage it was a bit of a right fit, but then we didn't spend much time in the rooms anyway. Nice to have Nespresso coffee in the room, this was the only hotel we stayed in during our time in Japan that offered this. We would recommend this hotel if you're visiting Kyoto and it was reasonably priced.

Small clean hotel in an excellent area for tourists. Very close to the historic streets where you can try to glimpse geisha. Staff were kind and helpful. Just a small comment that if you need to do laundry, the dryer is not very effective, and it took me 2 hours to dry a small load (costs 100 yen per 30 minutes of drying).

This small hotel is a gem in the middle of an historic district where you can walk to the market, the Samurai Museum and for a traditional rea ceremony with a gesha performance. The Imperial Palace and the Museum of Kyoto are not far by subway or taxi. Best of all is the gentility of the staff, especially An and Kosai.

A beautiful property. Historical view from the window/balcony. Serene, balanced, upon entering, then again to the room. Bathroom set-up beautiful and convenient as shower, sink and toilet all separate. Tiny sofa and table gave us space for our maps. Not too much space for two small suitcases, but delightful surroundings. We did laundry in one of the four machines available. We enjoyed staying in Gion and would love to return to this hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful. They assisted us with restaurants and tea ceremony reservations.
