Top Gion Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel Kyoto Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. Staff wants amazingly helpful with all of our inquiries. Luggage forwarding and receiving was seamless. Best was the close location and easy access to Kyoto station!"

Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion

10/10 Excellent

"Truly can't say enough good things about this hotel in Kyoto. Just a beautiful hotel. From the moment you walk in, the service is top notch with staff so friendly and attentive our entire stay. Most speak English so we had no communication difficulties during our stay. They even helped us book dinner at a restaurant outside of the hotel for a large group of 10 (which is not easy to do in Kyoto). The rooms are big, very sleek, large bathroom with separate sink, shower/bath, and toilet areas. The beds are very comfortable and we had a nice city/mountain view through a large window. We also had a small table and chairs in our room. The hotel has a beautiful lobby atrium with a wall of windows with all sorts of greenery making it feel like an urban oasis. The breakfast buffet is incredible. High quality food with an impressive assortment of Japanese and Western options. And we thought the 4400Y was reasonable (considering we spent 6000Y in Tokyo for a lower quality buffet). Reasonable room service prices too (especially without the need to tip). Location is great near many restaurants, attractions, and trains. Though Kyoto is a large city, the hotel feels tucked away and rather private. Would absolutely stay here again."

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely stay at the Kyoto Brighton Hotel. Located north of the main city center, it offers a wonderful, quieter escape, though you should expect to take a taxi to get to the main train station and most major sightseeing hubs. For us, the location's unique perks far outweighed the distance: Historic Walkability: Nijo Castle (Kyoto Castle) is well within walking distance and made for a fantastic, highly enjoyable excursion. Local Neighborhood Vibe: We absolutely loved walking around the immediate neighborhood. It feels authentic and local, yet remains incredibly convenient. Within a short walk, we found a great grocery store, several 7-Eleven locations, and a very handy coin-operated laundry. The Best Part: The hotel is an easy, beautiful walk to the expansive Kyoto Imperial Palace park grounds. One minor downside to note: Be careful with your physical room keys! The hotel will charge you a fee if you lose them or if you want to keep one as a souvenir. Overall, if you don't mind relying on taxis to venture further out, the Brighton offers a peaceful, authentic, and highly comfortable base for exploring Kyoto."

Hotel Emion Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great property. Modern, clean, close to some markets, connected to restaurants, many more restaurants nearby, connected to the train station, so many things to list. Bath house after a long day was nice. Laundry room only had 4 machines so there were quite a few angry people. We waited several hours for a couple of machines. Would stay again easily"
