Gion Shinmonso Hotel

I had only 5 hours of sleep here but it genuinely felt so nice and relaxing. Onsen was enjoyable, the futons were so luxurious and comfortable, and the room was beautiful. The staff were very kind and welcoming, and breakfast was absolutely delicious. We had so much food we could not finish it, but definitely worth it.

I have no complaints for this location. Honestly one of the best experiences I had. The only mishap was that I requested for a plus-sized yukata prior to my arrival and despite their confirmation, I had to call the front desk to request again. It was resolved quickly and there was no problem after that.

The property is unassuming from the outside, but inside it's quite modern and very clean. The rooms were huge for Japan, and the futons were actually incredibly comfortable! The bathrooms in the rooms were also super modern which was a nice surprise. They include yukatas and a cute little set. I unfortunately didn't get to try the Onsen but I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff is also very kind and attentive! One lady even helped us bring our luggage to our Uber!! Highly recommend this place!

If I had to be nitpicky, I would say their elevators are very slow lol.

Traditional Japanese Ryokan with modern facilities. Everything was new and in perfect condition, without spoiling the charm of being in a tradigital Ryokan. The baths were also new and spotless clean. The staff were incredibly helpful, and organised our luggage to be sent to our next destination. We had a family room for four people, and the room had its own bathroom and separate toilet. Perfect location to walk around the Gion district. We had a lovely time.

located in a very known area in kyoto, we absolutely loved the vibes of this accommodation since the minute we stepped foot in. the check-in was really fast and smooth, the room was gorgeous, clean and spacious, and the common baths marvelous!!! i got to wear a yukata right after and i felt so so relaxed. i would definitely recommend!

there's nothing i didn't like

Room was nice and spacious. Location was just perfect - you can reach easily all attraction with a walking distance. Onsen was very nice and well equipped. I feel that staying in this place added a lot to our Kioto experience ☺️

Adding water without plastic bottles somewhere in a hotel would be nice.

The accommodation was very clean and relaxing. The room was well looked after and simplistic. Would recommend for anyone wanting a more traditional style accommodation.

There are some hidden costs that you will need to be careful to avoid.

Very spacious for a hotel in Japan. The staff were exceedingly polite and professional.

There was no shower in the room, which forced us to use the shared onsen. We were uncomfortable with it, but ended up enjoying it.

This is definitely place where you should choose to stay in kyoto. It is beautiful. Nice staff. Good onsen. Comfortable room and moreover it is close to all attraction places. Love it

None

The location is Gion and it's conveient. The hotel has onsen and it's really good to soak in Onsen at the end of the day for the relaxation. Room is huge and it's traditional style.

Great Location, amazing service very friendly staff. Very clean and modern take on traditional Ryokan.

Nothing. Only thing I wish it had was Netflix on TV.
