Nice little hotel in a great location. The staff was really wonderful and extremely helpful. Recommended a great teppanyaki place, and were able to get us a reservation even though that restaurant is very busy and popular, helped us with luggage forwarding and were willing to go out of the way to help with anything that was needed. Even though the rooms were a bit small, they were absolutely spotlessly clean with comfortable beds

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Gion Misen in Kyoto. The rooms were surprisingly spacious, especially by Kyoto standards, and everything was spotless. The decor was thoughtfully done—modern but still warm and inviting, which made it a very comfortable place to come back to after a day of exploring. The staff were consistently friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with anything we needed. Breakfast was also a really nice touch—simple, but high quality and a great way to start the day. Overall, a wonderful combination of comfort, cleanliness, and great service in a perfect Kyoto location. Would definitely stay here again.

Located on a quiet street in Gion. Helpful staff with good enough English. Comfortable bed with a good sized room, for Japan. We enjoyed a good and filling Japanese breakfast one morning. This hotel has more of a bed and breakfast feel to it. The taxi accidentally took us to the Gion Misen Furumonzen hotel as Google Maps frequently gets them mixed up. However, that hotel is a sister hotel to Hotel Gion Misen so they had a staff member personally walk us the block over to the correct location. We liked its location and would consider a stay here again if we get a chance to come back!
