Lovely boutique hotel
So very comfortable! Lovely bedding, pjs, slippers, and lots of toiletries. In walking distance to ask the gion sites and temples. Nice bars and restaurants nearby as well. Staff very friendly.

Perfect and comfortable place, in a quiet street of Gion, just beside the action!
Cédric, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Simply amazing!
This hotel was perfect! The staff were extremely helpful, the breakfast was amazing (we tried both Japanese and Western style) the beds were super comfortable and the rooms spacious and silent - Right in the heart of Gion - well connected by subway to the rest of Kyoto. We loved the extra touches (a coffee grinder in each room to make fresh filtered coffee) a deep bath and automatic toilet seats!

Kirstin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good hotel for short stay in Kyoto. Very basic and more traditional Japanese style. Comfortable but small room, nice bathroom with good amenities. Hotel was a bit loud at times. Location is good for access to Gion and Pontocho areas and easily accessible public transit.

Thomas, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Such a beautiful stay for our honeymoon, it was super close to all the shops and restaurants in Gion which is a beautiful part of town in Osaka. The reception staff were so friendly, and super accomodation for any questions or recommendations you may have. We got the garden room which was honestly a sight to look at, the floors were tatami and had the best sleeps ever. Highly recommend this spot to anyone coming to Kyoto

Very quiet street in the midst of busy Gion. Walkable to city markets and sights on the east side. Nice Japanese breakfasts, dining room open all the time for tea or coffee, or just sitting around to schmooze.

Hotel Gion Misen had all the charm and beauty that you hope for in a Kyoto holiday. We were able to travel easily for our tour itinerary and really enjoyed the peaceful ambiance of the property. I hope to visit again!
Joshua, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was a bit small but beds were super comfortable and the shower/bath was excellent. The in room coffee (Hario coffee mill and pour over setup) was the best I've had in a long time. Tried both breakfast offerings here and at the sister property around the corner, both good. Super convenient location yet on a quiet street.
Kerry, 2-night trip

Excellent staff, services and cleanliness. Pillows could use improvement, otherwise great stay.
Sahab, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Upon arriving to this property is a beautiful walk right next to the river that flows through the area. It was a little hard to find at first but just follow the maps and look closely for there hotel name. It was a nice traditional feel in the room and it was very clean and friendly staffed. Walkable distance to a lot of stations and there is so much to do in the area for sure!
Wilson, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great stay at Gion Misen it was the perfect type and location of property to capture the feel of being in Kyoto. It was easy to get to from the train station and we were able to walk to major areas of interest. Beverages were provided 24 hours and there were laundry services one block from property. Staff was attentive and made some great food recommendations. We would definitely stay again.
