Kyoto Hotels near Chion-in Temple

Booked the suite with private sauna, huge soaking tub, and separate living / kitchen / dining area and it was so worth it! We were excited to go back to our room at the end of each day to relax in

We had an amazing stay at Gion Elite Terrace. The room was beautiful and spotless, the location was perfect, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Everything felt luxurious and welcoming.

Park Hyatt is a great gem in the Gion district. Situated in a charming and picturesque area it was a wonderful stay for the last leg of our Japan visit.

My stay at Park Hyatt Kyoto was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived until the day I checked out, every member of the team made me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.

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.

This was my 2nd stay at Hotel Alza. This, small and intimate hotel, is quiet and convenient, with excellent access to Gion, Pontocho Alley and Sanjo station.

The Alza was excellent. Great location on the river so some rooms have gorgeous view. In the Gion district, one of the most attractive places in Kyoto.

Charming hotel, great location (next to Shinjo station, easy walking to restaurants and most central sites) very comfortable and stylish rooms.

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

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.

Our stay at The Celestine Kyoto was a wonderful experience and one that I'd happily recommend to anyone visiting the city.

Probably the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at, not because it’s the most expensive or necessarily the fanciest, but every detail made my stay. Absolutely incredible.

Spacious accommodations with a lot of amenities. The room is huge, has a washing machine and a microwave to heat up food you may buy. Highly recommended for its value.

This was the perfect place to serve as a base for our holiday in Kyoto.

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.

This is a very unique hotel experience. The hotel is part of a temple. It is so serene and a great way of having a peaceful rest, reflection and contemplation.

Stayed here back in February for one night and it was a phenomenal stay.

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

I spent 3 nights in March at the Hotel Yuraku Kyoyasak in a suite with the private onsen and it was genuinely one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had.

I enjoyed a fantastic 6 nights stay at this hotel in kyoto!

We are very happy to stay here. Would recommend friends here.
Staff are friendly and helpful especially the Ms at front desk from Korea.
Room spacious and clean.
Space well plan.

This was my second time staying at the RC Hotel, because it is truly such a lovely stay!

This hotel was one of the best surprises of our trip to Japan and truly a hidden gem in Kyoto.
The location is absolutely outstanding.

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 very comfortable hotel.

Our family of four greatly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Mastay. Fairly spacious room with four beds and nice amenities like a washer/dryer.

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.

The location is the best. The room is pretty large in Japan for a 5 person family. There is coin laundry on site. Overall it is very good.

Basic, quiet, modern, self-service hotel in a perfect location. One of the best showers ever!
No issues with check-out or washing machine as reported by others.

Fantastic location if you are looking to stay in the Gion area. Rooms are surprisingly spacious for a Japanese hotel and it has good amenities including a laundromat.

My family of three had a wonderful stay at Laon Inn Gion Nawate. Despite being located in the bustling Shijo district of Kyoto, the hotel room offered excellent soundproofing.

This hotel is so cute and cozy! So far, it is my absolute favourite hotel in Japan!
The Gion District is beautiful and quiet, and this hotel is a short walk from some of the main tourist attractions!

Great location, right next to the Gion district and close to a few temples, that made it easy for us to walk. Rooms were clean and as well spacious. One of the better hotels I stayed at in Japan.

There are six rooms per floor. Two face the back, one the side, three the front. We were thrilled our room faced the back, because the street in front is so busy you can hardly run across.

A little apartment with everything you need for your time in Kyoto. Includes washing machine, microwave, cooker, hairdryer and fridge freezer. Location great for the old parts of Kyoto.

All in all it was a pretty nice stay. Unfortunately there were cameras everywhere so you couldn’t really change in a room without being recorded.

Best stay I had in Japan! It is so clean, spacious and the pods are perfectly designed.

Stay here in kyoto if you can. You won't regret it.
Privileged location in one of the most convenient locations possible.

I don't know where to start on how much my husband and I loved Hotel Seiryu. From the moment we turned into the drive we felt in awe. Check-in was very smooth and our room was GORGOUS.

Pros: The rooms are very comfortable and well designed, with a small fridge included. The bathroom and shower are separated, which is really convenient.

Spacious rooms with all the amenities you’ll need — plus a fridge and a microwave! The bath was the highlight for us though! Quiet area and the rooms were nicely decorated.

Room condition was greatly good, very spacious and clean. Kitchen cutlets were nice and washing machine was perfect. Twin beds were little bit hard, but it's good.

We stayed here for 2 nights in April during cherry blossom season (2 adults, 2 children under 8) and absolutely loved it. I was initially a bit worried as there hadn’t been many recent reviews, but I

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.
