Amazing experience. Stayed in the Premium Experience room which may be the priciest room. Very authentic Japanese vibe with the best relaxation amenities in your room. Stayed at this hotel for two days during our 2-week trip to recharge

Hotel Gion was wonderful! The property is beautiful and centrally located in the old district, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the hotel has thought of everything you could need: PJs, skin care sets, free drinks and snacks, etc. We had a wonderful stay and would come again!

Brilliant hotel, very beautifully made and with a lot of well thought amenities. We especially liked the beautiful lighting and the large bed! And we had a jacuzzi. The only downside was the TV sound, it was really quiet no matter what we did

Great location!
Great location. Walkable to Gion, shops and restaurants. The staff are great and helpful. The room was amazing, however I found it odd that our room didn't have any windows we could look out, but it was still a nice room. The lounge area was really nice, in fact all the common areas were beautiful.

The most incredible hotel, facilities, staff and the look and feel of the place was brilliant. Couldn’t recommend enough. The massage chair was a life saver as well as the other spa facilities in room. The amenities were brilliant too.

A beautiful and spacious hotel within walking distance to most shrines and temples. They offer complimentary coffee and lattes and water along with ramen noodles for guests.
Rooms are clean and comfortable and the general feel is very pleasant. I would highly recommend this place.

Excellent rooms (one of the best I have stayed in). No views from the rooms, but you can open the windows partially for some fresh air. Rooms are spacious, elegant and comfortable. Staff are polite and facilities are good (it doesn't have dining room or kitchen but the little restaurant directly opposite is a good option).
Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful hotel. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond to help us after one of us left something valuable behind in the room. Hotel has a laundry we could use which was great to wash clothes in the middle of our trip. The coffee machine in the Lobby was really good and the fridge of complimentary water bottles was so appreciated each morning a we headed out to explore the city! Great location, easy walk to the train station or shopping area of Gion. Highly recommend!
