Gion Elite Terrace

Location and the rooms decor, and the balcony.

Nothing that comes to mind actually.

The room is clean and spacious, and the bathroom is modern and well maintained. We were traveling with a 4yo, which meant many afternoon breaks spent inside the room, so having a spacious room was very important for us. Washer-dryer machines are very easy to use. Detergent is provided and within 2hr your clothes are clean and dry. We also loved the unlimited coffee and matcha machine in the lobby. The location is perfect: it’s a 3-minute walk to a small shrine that looks beautiful and magical at night, an 8-minute walk to Sannenzaka, and a 12-minute walk to Hanamikoji Street, where you can sometimes spot maiko walking quickly to the ochaya if you’re lucky! Within about 15 minutes, you can also visit Yasaka Shrine or the famous Gion Duck Noodles. Overall, a very comfortable and convenient stay, especially for families with young children.

The breakfast is nice and convenient, but for the price, the options are rather limited.

Superb location, walkable to all the best sights in Kyoto. Staff went out of their way to be welcoming and helpful. Very efficiently run hotel, the rooms are very spacious, well equipped and comfortable - we had an absolutely delightful stay here. Best bathroom and most comfortable bed of our entire Japan trip! The breakfast was also really delicious.

Our room was absolutely beautiful. It was spacious (especially considering that Japanese hotel rooms tend to be quite small) and had plenty of furniture. The small tatami area by the window, with a futon bed for one person overlooking the beautiful streets of Kyoto, was absolutely a wow factor. The kids loved it. The view was fantastic—a wonderful bonus! The bathroom was also very clean and modern. The coffee, tea, and beverage area in the lobby was a very nice touch. Complimentary beverages were available 24/7, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely stay at Gion Elite Terrace again when we visit Kyoto. It was the best hotel of our entire vacation in Japan! The location was perfect as well—everything was within walking distance.

I don't have any complaints about this hotel. Everything was great. The only area that could be improved was the breakfast. The buffet did not offer a wide variety of options, and the bacon and ham appeared to have been sitting out for a while. They looked cold, and I could see solidified fat on the surface, so I chose not to try them.

amazing hotel, room is spacious, great design and hotel amenities are top

The staff, the location… the breakfast!!!!

We had no complaints

Ubicación

This property was a good value for the money. The location was good and it was clean. It had nice drinks in the lobby.

In hindsight, we probably should’ve gotten two rooms. It was a little tight for four people. And the view from the room looked directly into electric pole.
