Clean and spacious room for our family! Great location with convenient access to transit. Was a little disappointed the hot tub and sauna were too hot to enjoy ☹️

The hotel itself is great and it was easy to get to the train station, and quieter than staying on the other side of the river. That being said - if you’re on the basement level, there was an extremely weird smell in the hallway that was seeping into our room on the first day. Thankfully, once we got the AC turned on and sprayed some air freshener, it helped - but it was pretty awful in the hallway the whole time.

The main problem with this hotel is there is no staff manning the front desk/reception. Every time we needed assistance we had to use the iPad to video call someone who would try and help, this was not a great process. When travelling in a foreign country we like having the front desk to help assist with not just our needs at the hotel but their knowledge and tips navigating their city. The room itself is spacious and well configured.

Our room was very clean and the washer/dryer saved us a trip to the laundromat. My family loved the multiple rooms. Accessibility to the Gion market made it easy. We loved Kyoto and all it has to offer.

Minn Gion Sanjo was perfect for traveling with my group of friends. We booked the room with the tatami mats of 3 futons and 2 beds. The room was big enough to host all of us. We didnt bring our big luggages and left them at Tokyo but the room was still large enough to accomodate our needs (even if you account your own large luggage) there is a Konbini just a casual walk down the road and a nice place to wind down just further down. Which was the river side. Highly reccomend exploring the nearby areas in your free time as we found some hidden gems. Transportation wise, it does take a while to access public transit (about a 8-10 minute walk) but still super convient. We were able to access this hotel 2 transits away from the Shinkasen from Tokyo and 1 train ride away to Osaka after our stay. The room was well stocked with ammenities and the spa/hot bath room is highly reccomended but you would need to book in advance. There was an elevator that allowed easy access to the room. Everything about the stay was comfortable and we found the room very pleasant and quite fancy. Thank you Minn Gion!
