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!

Amazing property. Good free laundry and complimentary drinks in the minibar. Two things to improve: #1the room location, my room was in the first floor and barely didn’t have light #2 no daily housekeeping. The purpose of staying at a hotel is to be removed from your daily chores, that’s why you pay for a hotel instead of an apartment. There wasn’t an option for on request neither. Only housekeeping after 3 nights. I don’t want to change my sheets but I would appreciate to have my bed tidy up.

The spa suite at Hotel Gion Ichirin is such a dream. We loved our room and private spa amenities so much, we barely wanted to leave the hotel. It was walking distance to restaurants, shopping and attractions like Yasaka Shrine. The staff was kind and it felt like we were the only guests there because it was so quiet and we didn’t bump into other guests. It was convenient they had a free washer/dryer machine and I loved getting the matcha latte from the coffee machine in the lobby.

One of the larger rooms in Japan in general. The staff was amazing, patient, and extremely helpful especially when I needed to send my luggage to an AirBnB in Tokyo instead of lugging it around with me in public transportation. Super convenient if you want to go to the crowded places in Gion district early in the morning since they are such a short walk from the hotel.

Great, clean hotel that mixes traditional and modern very well. Very attentive staff, free coffee and water bottles in the lobby. Wifi could be improved a bit but you'll spend most of your time exploring the beautiful surrounding area anyway.

We had a lovely stay, a beautiful hotel in a nice quiet spot, but not far from anything. The rooms are beautiful, the space was lovely especially having just come from Tokyo where rooms can be snug. All the amenities you could possibly need, the pyjamas were so nice and comfortable I was gutted I couldn’t purchase them. All the staff are super friendly we always got a very warm welcome! I will definitely stay here again.

We LOVED our room and the hotel as a whole. Our bathroom felt like a spa bathroom with the amazing deep soaking tub and intense water pressure. My only complaint would be that they made housekeeping really inaccessible (had to be requested AND you would have to leave your room for something like 3-5 hours???)This felt kind of extreme and a little cheap for such a wonderful property. Either way I highly recommend this hotel!
