Well kept property. It is located right in the center of Kyoto. Within walking distance to all attractions. The shower and the bathtub were phenomenal. Shower amenities were great as well. Reception was accomodating and helpful. I would stay here again if I’m back in Kyoto.

This is a small hotel, but it’s cleverly designed to feel spacious and comfortable. It’s located right at the edge of Kyoto’s more touristy areas, offering the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. You’re just a short walk away from the busy spots, but it’s peaceful enough to avoid the crowds. One tip for families: If you’re booking, try to opt for 2x twin rooms rather than a combination of twin and double rooms. The doubles are on the upper floors, while the twins are on lower levels. It wasn’t a big issue for us since our kids are older, but it’s worth noting depending on your needs. Overall, it was a fantastic hotel for us – a great base to explore Kyoto while enjoying some quiet downtime.

The hotel staff were very kind and helpful. The room was modern and clean and they replaced the towels and removed the trash daily when we requested it. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were nice. There was a bath in our room, which was very nice (if you are near 6' tall, it's a bit small to fit in, but I imagine that's the same everywhere!). It is close to a few temples and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the river.

The location is good for the daytime but at night the street was loud on the weekend and there was shouting outside on the first evening that was so loud it frightened me awake. It was much quieter on a weekday evening though, so I'd recommend it still.

Very calm environment. Modern and exceptionally clean. Was expecting a very small apartment but was pleasantly surprised to see a table and 2 chairs in the room. The nespresso coffee maker was a bonus and came with 2 complimentary pods. It was a shame that we were unable to buy any from local shops . I'm sure if we'd asked the staff would have provided extra. The TV has an Amazon firestick but all the directions were in Japanese. As it was we were generally too tired to watch TV on our return to the apartment at the end of the day. We stayed 5 nights. Should have stayed a week. So much to see and do in Kyoto. A good spot to base yourself, to see other parts of the Kansai region. Highly recommend!

Nothing

compared to the other Rinns, this is on the simpler side. The onsen shown on pictures is only present in one of the rooms. The staff is kind and hospitable with good and honnest recommendations for Kyoto. Location puts you right in the middle between Gion and Nishiki area, walking distance to zkiyomizu too.

It has a nespresso machine, small and intimate. Reception has limited hours and no sistematic room cleaning, which is charged extra.

We chose the hotel because of the great location, very short walk to Gion. Convenient to get anywhere with plenty of restaurants and attractions nearby. The hotel and the room is clean, modern and comfortable We also had a car and needed parking. Luckily there was a parking area (not free) right across from the hotel.

The room is quite small, but it's very common around the city area, so we don't complain.

Fantastic location, comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower. The hotel has a water filter where you can refill your water bottle with safe drinking water for free. The staff were very friendly and very helpful in booking dinner reservations and giving me directions.

The room was very small - there was limited space to put the suitcase or walk - but I don't need a lot of space and I expected this so it was fine. You just have to be strategic about where you place things.

We were just expecting to stay in a simple hotel because we had ryokans booked but it far surpassed our modest expectations. It was in a great location, walking distance to several things. It was clean and the room was very spacious. The ensuite onsen/furo was so nice. Nao at the front desk couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant. I wish we had stayed there one more night. I would definitely consider staying there again

Nothing I can think of

Excellent location if you want to be close to Gion and a lot of the temples etc. A very boutique sized place, overall a great feel to it. Super helpful and friendly staff.

The room could benefit from better acoustic isolation from the street, and the hard floors unfortunately causes some noise from above room. In fairness the street becomes quiet at bedtime so it was not a huge issue.

the room at rinn kiyomizu was very spacious. The location is perfect to explore gion which is my favorite area of Kyoto. It’s quiet, clean and cozy. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. They helped me with all the questions I had.
