Good hotel for short stay in Kyoto. Very basic and more traditional Japanese style. Comfortable but small room, nice bathroom with good amenities. Hotel was a bit loud at times. Location is good for access to Gion and Pontocho areas and easily accessible public transit.

Such a beautiful stay for our honeymoon, it was super close to all the shops and restaurants in Gion which is a beautiful part of town in Osaka. The reception staff were so friendly, and super accomodation for any questions or recommendations you may have. We got the garden room which was honestly a sight to look at, the floors were tatami and had the best sleeps ever. Highly recommend this spot to anyone coming to Kyoto

We had a great stay at Gion Misen it was the perfect type and location of property to capture the feel of being in Kyoto. It was easy to get to from the train station and we were able to walk to major areas of interest. Beverages were provided 24 hours and there were laundry services one block from property. Staff was attentive and made some great food recommendations. We would definitely stay again.

8/10 Very Good

The hotel was very nice. The room had a great layout and easily fit myself, my husband and our teenager. The beds were the most comfy of anywhere we stayed in Japan. Only negative was the room does not have blinds, only opaque sliding traditional screens that do not block light. Unfortunately our room was right over a bright parking sign so the entire room remained VERY bright all night long. We slept with small bath towels over our eyes. Recommend bringing an eye mask for sleeping.

Hidden Gem
This hotel is a gem. This was our second stay here and we would go back again in a heartbeat. Beautiful interior with many small crafted architectural details, hand made pottery, etc. Excellent and helpful service, great Japanese style breakfast, comfortable rooms, and the Gion neighborhood is just magical.

Goin Misen was a bit of Old Kyoto. Our room had a Japanese garden outside main window. The entire staff was excellent in their desire to assist us. Very quiet surroundings.
