I really enjoyed my stay at Gion Misen Furumonzen. My room was very stylish and comfortable, and I loved the bathroom. The bathtub was amazing! The staff were also wonderful: very polite and helpful any time I had a question. I've seen other reviews complaining that the staff isn't friendly, but essentially these complaints seem focused on the fact that the staff are mostly European rather than Japanese. This should be seen as a pro, rather than a con. They are all multi-lingual, meaning they can help a greater range of travellers in their own languages. For a city like Kyoto that draws visitors from every corner of the globe, having multi-lingual staff at a hotel is an absolute bonus. The location of the hotel is great too. Right on the edge of Gion, so the area is walkable (I walked as far south as Kiyomizu-dera) but the street itself is quiet, which I appreciated. And it's very close to Sanjo Station, which makes travel quite easy (no need to take any packed buses). The one thing, as other reviewers have mentioned, is the pillow situation. The pillows in the room were like pancakes. I had two beds in my room, so I was able to use the additional pillows, but for a relatively expensive boutique hotel, you'd expect better pillows, or a pillow bar in the lobby. If business-class hotels can have a pillow bar, so can boutique hotels. This hotel's rating would instantly improve if they added a pillow bar. Beyond that, I had a great stay and was sad to leave, haha.

Fuji is beautiful!
We stayed in a room for 3. 2 beds as normal and one on a mezzanine up some ladders- steep so be prepared! The staff were great. The water was lovely. The view of Mt. Fuji from so close by was great. The recommended pizza place sounded excellent but it had sold out quite early as it is very small. The bakery down the road is lovely. Access to views of Fuji are great and the lake was lovely too.

Charming little hotel in northern Gion. Super convenient location for us during our stay in Kyoto, as it’s within walking distance of Gion and Higashiyama. And with Sanjo station nearby, making trips to other parts of Kyoto, as well as Nara and Osaka, was also easy. Thanks for helping to make our first trip to Kyoto unforgettable!

The best place we stayed while on our trip. We will be staying here every time we visit Kyoto in the future. The room was great, just enough space and gave that Japanese experience with the feel of Western amenities. The staff was incredible, answering a lot of our questions about Japan. Close to the subway station, close to the bus station; overall I can't recommend this place enough.

Cozy Stay in Gion
We lived this cozy hotel. The staff was very friendly and helped us with our restaurant booking and other recommendations in the city. Hotel is almost brand new. Rooms are japanese style but with a modern touch. We booked a room with onsen style bathtub and loved it. The metro connection is not a direct line to kyoto station as it is in Gion but it was absolutely worth staying here! There was also a 24/7 open Lawson store right across

Great location, most things are walkable. The room itself is ok, the hotel is generous enough to give us upgrade to a garden room but it’s not really a garden just a space between buildings that had couple plants that’s smaller than a normal balcony, because the garden room is on ground floor surrounded by high buildings so you never got to see the sky and it’s dark. The mattress is on the floor but the floor has some funny smell kinda smell like dirty feet. All the staffs are super friendly and nice, but the restaurant recommendation are questionable. So make sure do your homework, they are happy to help you to make reservations.

The hotel is located in Gion on a quiet street . Walkable to a lot of temples and Gion tourist shopping street is also very close. Fish market and restaurants are right across the river. The room is comfortable, was upgraded to a garden view but it’s not really a garden if it’s only a 3 feet deep garden ousdie of the window that facing walls of other buildings, you can never see the sky in that room. We usually call that room with no view. The only problem tho is that if you want late check out will be a charge but there’s no storage for luggages. You can only leave them at a corner unattended which doesn’t seem so safe. Staffs are friendly
