Guest Reviews
- YARITZA (10/5): - My stay at the Gion Koh was nothing short of extraordinary. Located in the heart of Kyoto's history Gion district, this Ryokan offered an authentic Japanese experience steeped in tradition and charm. Hyro, the owner, was exceptionally kind and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Hyro's warmth and dedication to his guests made this stay unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend Gion Koh to anyone.
- ジュンコ (8/5): - オーナーさんの曽祖父宅をリノベ、100年は悠に超えた建物だそうです。
- Jill (10/5): A highlight of our visit to Kyoto - We loved the mood at Gion Koh. It was full of original character, antiques and quiet jazz. We felt like very welcome guests to a family home. Guests' every comfort has been considered. The location is very handy to everything.
- Andrea (10/5): - Very nice to experience traditional Japanese accommodation, Hiro is a very friendly and attentive host! Strongly recommended!
- Alejandro (8/5): - O hotel está bem localizado no bairro de Gion, é possível fazer vários passeios a pé pela região. Também está próximo de pontos de ônibus e metrô! Ficamos em um quarto com banheiro privativo. O espaço é bem conservado e limpo! A casa tem uma história e foi muito interessante se hospedar ali.
- Kojima (10/5): - とても心地よい滞在でした。
- HACHIKI (10/5): - 旅館の責任者の方々の対応が非常に素晴らしいものでした。
- Verified traveler (6/5): - お安く泊まれたので助かりました。 部屋にトイレも水道もないのは仕方ないのかな？とは思います。 部屋は暖房がよく効いて居心地良かったですが、２日めはごみの交換だけだったので床にホコリが舞ってました。 掃除道具があれば自分で掃除できたかも。
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice location but hard to get there with luggages on the first day.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hote sympathique parlant un peu le francais, bonne situation geographique.
- Hirosi (10/5): 旅ずきん - インテリアやサービス全てにおいてセンスを感じさせる素敵な宿でした。ロケーションも良く是非また泊まりたいと思います。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 1층 가족룸의 경우 분위기가 좋아요 문을열면 바로 앞에 작은 정원이 있어요. 겨울엔 조금 추울수있어요
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 위치면에서 최고. 위생면에서 최고. 인테리어면에서 단연코 최고. 주인 친절도도 물론 최고.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice experience - Very good hostel. I’ll be back.
- ＫＫ (10/5): 清潔で快適 - 部屋もトイレもシャワールームもとても綺麗でした。 立地も最高ですし、対応もとても親切です。 オススメです！！
- Yuwen (10/5): - 超棒的😍😍下次還想去住
- Kayleigh (8/5): Nice and quiet stay in Gion - Found Gion Koh to be an ideal spot to stay. It's very close to shijo Dori in Gion, but set back enough that you can escape the hustle and bustle of the district. It's a charming spot, however many of the rooms have a shared bathroom - which were clean and well maintained, but that isn't for everyone. We found our room to be quite large and comfortable, it was warm and cosy and had everything we could have needed (especially liked the tea available).
- meer (10/5): 祇園の隠れ家 - 気さくなオーナーさんが出迎えてくれる暖かい宿でした。2016年の9月に古民家を改装してオープンしたとの事で、内装はとても綺麗で美しく、かつ清潔に保たれていました。更に八坂神社や建仁寺、清水寺も徒歩圏内で観光にはもってこいの宿です。京都に行く際は是非また利用したいと思います！
- ももあや (8/5): 中庭が素敵なリーズナブルホテル - 館内はとてもキレイで、お部屋から素敵な中庭が見え、京都らしい和モダンなホテルでした。安いプランだったのでトイレやシャワー室がお部屋にはなかったのですが、泊まるだけの利用なら満足できる内容です！立地も八坂神社や清水寺から近く、また利用したいと思いました。子どもたちも中庭の池で泳いでいる鯉や二段ベッドに大喜びでした。
