Gionmachi Hotels

Clean, quiet, stylish in the center of Gion and everything is within walking distance. The staff was very helpful and respond via the chat almost instantly.

I had a really lovely stay here, the place feels super peaceful and traditional.
It’s in the heart of Gion however it is very quiet and private. Perfect if you want.

We stayed here for our 4 nights in Kyoto on our three week tour of Japan.

Where to begin, they're part of the Banyan group so you expect a level of service and luxury and Dhawa Yura did not disappoint.
A beatutiful hotel and space in general.

We recently stayed at Sowaka for four nights and had an excellent experience.
Our room, 209, was spacious, comfortable, and cozy. It provided a peaceful retreat after a full day of exploring Kyoto.

“Authentic luxury” Although the bedrooms are Western style, the feel is pure Kyoto. Beautifully presented breakfast.

I can’t help but thinking this is the best hotel in Kyoto!

I stayed at the Tassel hotel 6 nights in September 2025.
I really liked the hotel: it’s comfortable, clean, nice and modern, with a great location to visit Kyoto and helpful staff.

A excellent hotel!
The building itself beautifully reflects the historic character of the area from the outside, while the interior is nothing short of stunning.

Stayed for 4 days in June 2026. This hotel very conveniently located. It’s easy to reach from the subway Station and this made us getting around the city simple.

A gem of a hotel in Kyoto. The area is absolutely beautiful, with a shallow tiny river where we were greeted by a grey heron each day. The walk to subway and bus is short.

A wonderful hotel. The room was perfect, everything we needed and a lovely view over the neighbouring stream.

Totally worth it. Spacious room for a budget-friendly hotel in Japan, beautiful neighborhood, friendly and helpful staff. Bus stop is less than 5 minutes away.

Nice hotel. Own spacy shower room. Has everything you need. Some towels seems dirty, but you can easily get new ones. Nice room size.

The hotel is in a super convenient location, really close to Sanjo Station.

Large unit with a separate bedroom that had 2 full-sized beds. Bathroom is nicely segmented with a room with large with a tub and a side area for shower. Shower has nice pressure.

Pros:
-Staff are beyond nice and very helpful!
-Zashiki Twin Room was actually massive by any hotel standards, not just Japan hotel standards.
-Room was super cute, futons were comfy.

I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay in Kyoto!

Comfortable beds and reasonable sized room, plenty of amenities and in a good location near to old streets of Gion and close to two subway stations.

Great location in the heart of Gion so you can stroll at night the touristy spot nearby without the crowd (go to the shrine near the park it’s stunning at night).

For the value, I would still stay here again now that I know how to handle the room/hotel issues.

The location is great as it’s in the heart of the traditional Kyoto, the Gion.

This is my new favorite hotel! We came here for our honeymoon and the staff made it truly special.

Stayed here on marriot points. Upgraded to a better room despite only Gold status. The cash value for summer weekday was very good value even though I used points.

The location of this place is a little outside the city center but with the metro station right next door, it wasn't a problem for us.
The check-in process seems a bit laborious at first glance but

My recent stay at KYOTO GION HOTEL during my trip to Kyoto was an absolute highlight, perfectly capturing the city’s timeless charm while delivering exceptional comfort and truly heartfelt,

Location is very good. Everything you need in the room bedding a little bit hard staff very friendly. Rooms are a little bit small but there’s a Japanese style.

Nohga surpassed our expectations and will stand out as a highlight of our Japanese holiday. Staff were flawlessly professional and accommodating from front desk, bakery and restaurant.

Our stay at NOHGA Hotel Kyoto was fantastic from start to finish. Everything was impeccable: the facilities, the comfort, and the overall atmosphere.

My 5 city travel just ended and I can say that Hiyori Stay in Kyoto is the best hotel out of 5 hotels I've stayed in during my vacation.
Amenities are great.

Our family of 4 stayed for 5 nights. We were very happy with everything.
— Good value for money.
— Good location. Walkable (long) to Kiyomizu-dera. Can also walk to Pontocho Alley, Gion, etc.

Out of all the hotels I stayed at this trip to Japan, having gone to Fukuoka, Osaka, Nara, Tokyo, and Kyoto.

Location is not entitled their fault. About a 8 minute walk from the nearest metro. Staff was always polite and helpful. Front desk staff spoke multiple languages so that was helpful.

Everything was great about this stay.

Miru Gion was the perfect place to base ourselves for our visit to Kyoto. The location is amazing so quiet and peaceful but a short walk to food/stations and shops.

Large room with a small decent garden.
Staff at the hotel is very nice as expected because we are in Japan!
Cannot tell the location is convenient or not because I went by driving.

Great hotel! like a 20min walk from kyoto station, a little bit up hill tho. Check in at 4pm.

Stayed 4 nights in May at this beautiful Onsen hotel in Kyoto.
Pros: great location in Gion, lots of restaurants and beautiful shops and sights within walking distance.

We are 2 couples in our 50s on a 17 day vacation in Japan. We stayed in 6 different cities & at the end we ranked this our favorite hotel! (We stayed here 4 nights.

Tldr, I'd stay here again.
Great location, facility, staff. Just 1 block from Hanamikoji street, Kenninji Temple. And 10 minutes tov the shopping district.

I’ve been to Kyoto numerous times and this is by far the best hotel I’ve stayed in. The location is perfect, as it is on a quiet street but still close to all the action.

We had a really nice stay at the Park Hyatt Kyoto. Despite being literally next door to the entrance of one of the busiest tourist areas in the world, the property itself is extremely tranquil.

Park Hyatt Kyoto is nothing short of Japanese perfection. We traveled as a family with two children, and this was one of the most memorable hotel stays we’ve ever had.
The service is extraordinary.

The hotel is located just 5 minutes from Kijomizu-Gojo station (quite convenient if you come by train from Osaka) and bus stops plus metro station are nearby.

Wow this place surpassed all my expectations. The hotel is immaculate. Rooms are really nice with lots of extra details that weren't advertised.

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Higashiyama in Kyoto for several days and really enjoyed our stay. Our room layout was nice, and although not very large, the layout made it feel big and not cramped.

Only stayed one night in this hotel and it was appreciated by my partner and I.
First, the GHA Platinum membership was recognized through the room upgrade.

We stayed here December 2025 for 3 nights.
The highlight of our experience was definitely the room.

Hotel Yuraku Kyoyasaka is an exceptional hotel. Ideal for couples. The rooms are large and beautiful. The private onsens are luxurious and perfect for relaxing after spending the day exploring Kyoto.
