Kyoto Hotels near Old Rissei Elementary School

This is a great location if you want to get away but still be close to the action.

We had a lovely 2 night stay. The location is fantastic, close to restaurants the nishiki markets and all public transport. The rooms are large clean and comfortable.

Our stay at Fauchon Hotel Kyoto was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and exceptional hospitality that made us feel right at home.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay truly five stars from the very beginning. From the moment we arrived, the receptionist made our visit feel incredibly special.

Large and spacious room with a bit of a view. Quiet location but still within walking distance of a lot.

Phenomenal stay!

The room was comfortable, clean and spacious.
Perfect location, close to the bus stop and to Pontocho, Gion and in general the nightlife of the city.
Great value!

Really enjoyed my stay at Waka Kyoto Kawaramachi. We stayed for 4 nights in a twin room. The room was clean, quiet, and the air conditioning worked well.

Location to the river and restaurants and bars. Staff were very helpful and diligent in their tasks. Breakfast was amazing, it catered for all people’s tastes and was very healthy food.

What a pleasant stay! Nice rooms, all well managed. Breakfast could be better, I mean they are ok, but could be more rich. Otherwise, I definitely would stay again.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at STITCH Hotel in Kyoto and I’m so grateful I booked it based on other people’s reviews ~ every single positive comment turned out to be true!

This was the perfect hotel for our family of 5. We stayed in the premium family suite and it was excellent.

Great 👍.
Room was fantastic size and very well equipped.
Service was just brilliant. I was worried about not having 24hr front desk but it didn't matter one bit for our week of staying.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Rinn Kitagomon, it was in a quieter part of Kyoto but a short walk to a Main Street and walking distance to other parts of Kyoto. The staff were kind and helpful.

We stayed at Gion Kyoka in Kyoto in late January 2026 and had a wonderful experience.

Gion Kyoka felt like a home away from home. The room was spacious, the staff were friendly and the location was ideal, within walking distance to everything.

100% recommendation.

100% loved this hotel, staff is amazing and speak great English, rooms are spacious and very clean and comfortable. The whole hotel feels brand new and we loved the service and quality provided.

This is a small hotel, without any cafe/restaurant or bar. What they do have are comfortable large rooms, with fantastic bathrooms. Friendly staff. A well functioning laudry facility.

The double twin is really 2 double beds. This room is amazing. The shower is a separate room and is heating like a steam room. The toilet is unlike anything I have seen.

We stayed at the Yoin Hotel Kyoto Gion four nights during our 10 days in Japan for autumn colors. The hotel is ideally located in the middle of the Gion.

Loved this hotel! Favorite stay while we were in Japan. Our bed was comfortable, our room was a good size and luxury bathroom.

Would book again, 100/10. The hotel location was walkable to many of our must visits, and, was just a few minutes from the bus stop. Shopping and food options within the area, and it stayed quiet.

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!

Had a super nice first ryokan experience here!

I wanna say thank you to staffs in 東山莊. They’re very kind, hospitable, and thoughtful. The location is also good, very close to 二年板、清水寺，so you can take pictures here earlier than others!

If you don’t mind something a little more quaint, it’s very cozy and the price is unbeatable especially for the location which is outstanding.

Great Inn to stay at when in Kyoto.
Location is perfect, being at walking distance to most of the most important spots in Kyoto.
The host is awesome, cheerful and very helpfull in general.

I just moved from a 4 star to this 3 star and the beds are bigger, comfier and the room is more spacious. Self check in was simple, Wi-Fi works and AC too.

Just enjoyed our 5D4N at Kyoto & we stayed at Hiz Hotel Gion Shirakawa as our base. Very charming apartment hotel.

Perfect for a family of us 5. Located in a.
Great location to walk to everything with a very helpful and friendly staff.

Location was very good as it was in a quiet side street although close to quite a busy tourist track to a nearby temple. The person who checked us in was very helpful.

Very nice connecting rooms for a family if staying beyond 2-3 nights.

Staff were exceptional. The hotel seemed brand new and was very, very nice. The lobby tea / lounge space was amazing with a great selection of teas along with a toaster oven & a microwave.

This funky hotel had a lot of charm and some good amenities. The lobby felt like an elevated hostel where lots of people were hanging out with coffee/tea always available.

Super cute hotel! I loved the designs of everything. I thought the room was going to be dark all day, but there is a huge window that allows lots of natural light in the morning.

We stayed for two nights. Very convenient location-close to everything but there was not enough water given. The apartment is big but somehow there was no closet/space for cloths.

​We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and surprisingly spacious for Japan, and the bathroom facilities were a major highlight. They provide complimentary coffee, tea and water in the lobby.

Location to the river and restaurants and bars. Staff were very helpful and diligent in their tasks. Breakfast was amazing, it catered for all people’s tastes and was very healthy food.

What a pleasant stay! Nice rooms, all well managed. Breakfast could be better, I mean they are ok, but could be more rich. Otherwise, I definitely would stay again.

Very nice hotel, good value for money and great staff. Location is top notch! Right by the river, 20 walking minutes to the train station and 15-20 minutes to Old Town.

The entire hotel looks very new, clean, high tech, and well curated. The staff is very friendly and the services and amenities are really good!

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.

Best stay of my Japan trip! Clean room, comfortable futon bed, the BEST Japanese breakfast in the room each morning, it was a dream to be hosted at Ryokan Yoshi Ima.

This was an amazing experience!
We selected the breakfast and dinner option, Japanese style and it was so fun and interesting to try all the different food.

We had the best stay at Minn Gion Sanjo. The location is excellent — very close to the station and still within comfortable walking distance to Gion.

I really enjoyed my stay!
