Xiaofei, 3-night trip
Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

This place has a ton of potential. However the stained tatami mats, small shower and outdated toilet were disappointing. The staff were basically paper weights with no customer service training. At one point our room had second hand smoke from someone indoor or outdoor smoking. Otherwise, Gion is the best part of Kyoto, and Rinn is perfectly located. Too bad the controllables were not better managed. This could have been a five star rating.

Loved it. It was very clean, modern yet traditional. It even smelled soothing in the halls and lobby! Location was perfect for our needs. They do have a wash/dry machine - but it is a condenser-style dryer so be prepared for a long dry time. There are several walk-able laundromats in a pinch. Would 10/10 stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! If you want to stay in the Gion area, this is a great spot. Just a few blocks off of major shopping stores but near lots of little historic alleyways. Not the most convenient location to get to Kyoto station, but it’s an easy 10 min ($10usd) taxi ride. Lots of fine dining restaurants around if you want that, have to look a little harder for cheaper restaurants, but I had the best ramen a block from the hotel. The staff were awesome, the place was very clean and quiet and you can’t beat the location. Being right by the river is awesome too. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Gion.
