Kyoto Hotels near Old Rissei Elementary School

Perfect location right in the heart of Gion. Great place to base yourself in Kyoto. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Rooms are clean and quiet but on the smaller side.

We are from NYC. This was our first visit to Japan. We spent all our time outside the hotel exploring and eating our way thru Kyoto, Nara & Osaka. We enjoyed 5 nights at Rinn Gion Kenninji.

Jean-Georges at Shinmonzen is truly one of Kyoto’s finest dining experiences.

It’s extremely hard for accommodations at this price point to achieve proper value, but The Shinmonzen gets remarkably closer than most. Yes, the rooms are spacious and quiet and laid out really well.

I stayed here for almost a week and I really enjoyed my stay. It’s a family run ryokan and the family is very hospitable and friendly. They made me feel very welcome.

Coming back to Gion Sano feels like coming home, they have four big friendly dogs which slowly walk around in the day and are very calm.

My second visit to this amazing family-run inn. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The rooms have been cool in summer and cozy in winter, and always quiet.

We LOVED our stay at Kikutani!

We recently spent 7 days (6 nights) at STAY Sakura Kyoto Higashiyama Shirakawa in mid-April.

We stayed here for 5 nights and loved it!
Laundry in the room was amazing. Big comfy rooms. Nice bathroom areas.
The location is great!

This is a brilliant place to stay — it’s really big and comfortable with an amazing bathroom with two soaking tubs, one inside and one out!

This is an amazing place in a beautiful district, and it’s super convenient—you’re just a short walk from the bus and metro stations!

Hands down the best place I've slept in Japan. Value for the money is extremely good. It is clean and has everything a guest needs. Highly recommend.

I stayed in this hotel wgile I stayed in kyoto.
The hotel was beautyfull and the crew were really nice and helpful!
The place was clean and really really nice.
The location was PERFECT.

The exact ryokan experience we were hoping to get in Kyoto. Beautiful, traditional building and rooms, absolutely incredible Japanese breakfast each morning, and comfortable futons.

I stayed in the single room at Inn Kawashima for 7 nights. It’s a quiet place to rest and recharge after going out for the day.

They’re so nice and the room was quiet, cozy, and comfortable. The onsen on the 2nd floor is small but tattoos are okay. Traditional breakfast in a private room was perfect.

We had such a wonderful experience at Kagihei. We wish we stayed longer. What a lovely surprise to find such peace and tranquility so close to the busy Nishiki market.

Before coming to Japan, we thought the room here would be very small based on the photos.

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.

Quiet and centrally located. I was nervous because there were so few reviews and one mentioned a bug problem but it ended up being for nothing. The room was large and clean.

What a wonderful little gem of a hotel!
Beautiful location on a quiet little street but close enough to the hustle and bustle.
The staff are lovely and very attentive.

We were very pleased with the room layout and amenities.

More than expected is the only way to put it.
Location:
Steps from the hotel is Sanjo Station on the Keihan Main Line and honestly, this alone is reason enough to stay here.

Perfectly located next to Gion and just a 5-minute walk from the bridge to the city center. Convenient access to Kyoto’s main temples and attractions, either on foot or by a short bus/metro ride.

The place is lovely and new, good area, and the staff are lovely. Beds are on the firm side, but very comfortable and with good quality linen. Very happy with our choice.

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.

The rooms are clean and this hotel has some super fun amenities.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We arrived earlier than check in, and the hotel allowed us to store our luggage. Having laundry was great.

I was a bit worried seeing some negative reviews but I can confidently say that those must be from troll accounts as this was probably our favorite stay we have ever been to. Extremely kind and

This was definitely a very traditional experience my boyfriend and I loved every moment the staff were always so kind an welcoming.

The hotel has a great location, close to the station, and within walking distance of many attractions. The shopping centre is just a few minutes' walk away. The hotel service was excellent.

It’s in a very popular location — right in front of the Kawa River, and within walking distance to Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu Temple.

So happy with the stay, two large double beds for a fantastic price. Quite sizeable as bathroom and bedroom have a joining little hall.

I stayed here, mid November for 6 nights. It was wonderful. Due to jetlag I had to check in a day late. I notified the hotel staff via email and they were very understanding and responsive.

Great clean rooms, spacious, kitchenette and washing machines (in our room option). Perfect for long term stays and with an infant. We liked the location — not super touristy.

Stayed here in January with my husband and 1 year old. The apartment was great for someone with a small child as it was mostly baby proof.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to any other fellow travellers ☺️
Wonderfully located for exploring Gion and further afield — close to local tube stations and bus stops and

This lovely hotel is on a beautiful quiet street near the subway in Gion. We were in the room on the ground floor which had sliding doors with a pretty little garden out the window.

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).

The self check in is great if that's your speed, but can present issues when trying to receive mail.

Great location right in the heart of Gion, but still nice and quiet in the room.
We had a free-to-use washer-dryer & detergent in the room.

The host is very friendly, providing personalized sightseeing recommendations on hand-drawn notes that are both cute and detailed. The location is excellent! The house is clean and well-maintained!

Amazing location and perfect place to experience the real Japanese life! Walking distance to many places, the owner is super friendly and supportive! I recommend staying here!

Superb. Friendly team at reception desk. Spacious room for our family of five. Complete with shower, washing machine, heater, kitchen and cutleries and Wi-Fi.

Ultimately a clean and lovely room. I had no trouble with the firmness of the bed, I had a comfortable sleep.
