Stay SAKURA Kyoto Gion Miyagawa

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. Our room reeked of sewage and mold. After having to sleep in the room the first night due to no hotel staff being onsite, they went and cleaned the room and got rid of the smell temporarily. Why was the room not cleaned before our check in? Also the room itself had tons of stains on the walls as well as insane amounts of dust. I actually got incredibly sick due to the hygiene practices at this hotel. Also there is no daily cleaning. The reception has incredibly weird hours. If you need help outside of the hours of 3pm-9pm good luck. They also don’t speak any language except Japanese, making communication incredibly difficult. This place gets 0/10 with its lack of cleanliness, amenities and overall experience. This is more so a crappy budget hostel experience.

Smooth check-in, and spacious room.

Enjoyable stay! Would definitely recommend and so close to all the main sights. Very comfortable and spacious.

We booked 2 rooms for 3 nights. My daughter and friend’s room had a smell to it which they only informed me of after we had left for our next city. But other than that issue, everything was wonderful.

Stay Sakura Kyoto Gion is a very well-appointed, modern, clean and budget friendly place to stay in Gion. Easy walking to the great restaurants and stores lining Gion. Highly recommended and would not hesitate to stay again.

Very good service for a 3 star Location could be better but for the price you can’t complain

Great hotel, front desk only open until 9pm however. And check in cannot be done at the hotel before 3pm in our case. Going to the check in hub near kyoto station solved this issue, they even shipped the luggage to our room later that evening, great!

I came here with my husband and stayed for 4 nights. The hotel was wonderful! All the staff were so kind and friendly. The room was clean and I felt beautifully decorated/the decor was very tasteful. It was a very relaxing room to be in. The location is in Gion and near good transport links. I think the value for money for this hotel is excellent! I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking to stay in Kyoto - it was excellent.

We enjoyed our stay in Kyoto. The hotel was quiet, staff was friendly, beds were very comfortable. It was a 20 minute or less walk to Nishiki Market, Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu-dera

Loved the place - traditional and modern at the same time. Room is very spacious. Would recommend :)
