A highlight of our visit to Kyoto
We loved the mood at Gion Koh. It was full of original character, antiques and quiet jazz. We felt like very welcome guests to a family home. Guests' every comfort has been considered. The location is very handy to everything.

O hotel está bem localizado no bairro de Gion, é possível fazer vários passeios a pé pela região. Também está próximo de pontos de ônibus e metrô! Ficamos em um quarto com banheiro privativo. O espaço é bem conservado e limpo! A casa tem uma história e foi muito interessante se hospedar ali.

お安く泊まれたので助かりました。 部屋にトイレも水道もないのは仕方ないのかな？とは思います。 部屋は暖房がよく効いて居心地良かったですが、２日めはごみの交換だけだったので床にホコリが舞ってました。 掃除道具があれば自分で掃除できたかも。

Nice and quiet stay in Gion
Found Gion Koh to be an ideal spot to stay. It's very close to shijo Dori in Gion, but set back enough that you can escape the hustle and bustle of the district. It's a charming spot, however many of the rooms have a shared bathroom - which were clean and well maintained, but that isn't for everyone. We found our room to be quite large and comfortable, it was warm and cosy and had everything we could have needed (especially liked the tea available).

祇園の隠れ家
気さくなオーナーさんが出迎えてくれる暖かい宿でした。2016年の9月に古民家を改装してオープンしたとの事で、内装はとても綺麗で美しく、かつ清潔に保たれていました。更に八坂神社や建仁寺、清水寺も徒歩圏内で観光にはもってこいの宿です。京都に行く際は是非また利用したいと思います！

中庭が素敵なリーズナブルホテル
館内はとてもキレイで、お部屋から素敵な中庭が見え、京都らしい和モダンなホテルでした。安いプランだったのでトイレやシャワー室がお部屋にはなかったのですが、泊まるだけの利用なら満足できる内容です！立地も八坂神社や清水寺から近く、また利用したいと思いました。子どもたちも中庭の池で泳いでいる鯉や二段ベッドに大喜びでした。
