Amazing stay and Top Hospitality
Pros:

The location was 10/10 close to everything but still in a quiet street. Many many restaurants around within walking distance. Room was spacious for Japanese standards and very clean.
The best part was the staff 🫶 they very warm and very attentive. I got sick during my stay and they were super helpful guiding us and even gave me get well notes and a postcard.
Would 100% stay here again and recommend to others.
Thank you and we hope to see you soon again! - Larissa and Dejan

Perfect for your stay in Kyoto.
Pros:

Staff was friendly and extremely helpful going above and beyond. The property is small with just 10 rooms. We booked 2 rooms to accommodate our family of 5. They accommodated our request to give us rooms next door to each other. The location is excellent just a block from the traditional Gion street where we were able to see 2 Geishas going to work. Many restaurants within walking distance including several Michelin rated. Highly recommend this Rinn Gion for anyone visiting Kyoto.

Cons:

nothing

ソファ席が欲しかった…。
Pros:

立地条件も良く便利な場所で助かりました。
スタッフの方も声掛けて頂き、助かる情報もらえ楽しめました。
コーヒーやパンもとても美味しく大満足でした。
お風呂も檜風呂の感じも愉しめて良かったです。

Cons:

4人泊まりの際に部屋にソファ席があると良かったと思いました。
寛ぐ場所がベッドや布団に座っての歓談になるのでそこが欲しかったところで暑かったですが
とてもたのしめました。
次回はそのような点も考慮して宿探しをしようと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

En magisk upplevelse!
Pros:

Allt! Läget var fantastiskt, hotellet var underbart och hela upplevelsen magisk och oslagbar! Inte minst den underbara Soda som mottog oss med sådan värme och gjorde stor yttersta för att ge oss tips och hjälp vad det än gällde. Hon fick oss att känna oss mer än välkomna! Jag skulle aldrig bo någon annanstans i Kyoto!

A comfortable gem right in the heart of Kyoto!
Pros:

The location is amazing! You are really in the heart of Kyoto here. We were fortunate also, as our fourth floor room overlooked a beautiful shrine across the street, which gave the whole experience a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto. Our room also had a balcony which was perfect for enjoying a few family drinks before heading out to dinner each night.

Cons:

Honestly, nothing. The staff are charming here, and the room was lovely and comfortable.
