We loved our stay here. Location was close to everything we wanted to see and do but was quiet at night. Room was large and modern. Amenities were great - free laundry, free unlimited coffee. Would stay here again.

The young guy at the front desk was so friendly and helpful. Other staff were very polite too. Check in was smooth. Bus stop and convenience stores are nearby. Room was large and thoughtfully designed. The complimentary tote bag was beautiful. I like the hotel eco friendly at its best.

Loved the close proximity to the bus line, just 1/2 block away. Loved being right in Gion, one of the main districts to visit in Kyoto. Staff was super nice. We all loved the complimentary coffee/matcha machine as well as ice/water refill station. Would definitely stay here again!

The hotel was modern yet gave a zen feeling due to the decor and amenities. Our room was spacious, had a balcony, a sauna and a fuzzy bathtub which were very helpful after a tiring day walking around. Staff was super nice and knowledgeable of the area. Will definitely come back next time in Kyoto.

Our room was spacious and clean. Free coffee and tea in the lobby. Friendly staff. However, if I had to make a suggestion would be to completely get rid of the smoking room in the lobby. It’s right next to the laundry room and elevator. It’s unavoidable to smell it in the hallway as space is limited.

Free laundry room was nice - one tip would be to wash clothes in the machine then transfer it to the dryer. The drying function in those combo washers never worked well.

Front desk staff are friendly and speak multiple languages. Laundry room only has two washer/dryer and each cycle can take 90-120 mins depending on your load/need, and it’s always being used, so plan accordingly. The lobby area is very cute, with machines for coffee/matcha drinks. The delux suite is elegant, very spacious, with some smart features. The bathroom is huge with a large bathtub, and a clean sauna room. We loved our room! Location is great.

Gion Elite Terrace Kyoto was an excellent place to stay and exceeded our expectations. The location was fantastic, with many shops, restaurants, and attractions within easy walking distance, making it a convenient base for exploring Kyoto.

Our room comfortably accommodated 4 people and felt surprisingly spacious. Everything was modern, clean, and well maintained. We especially appreciated the thoughtful amenities, including complimentary coffee, free self-service laundry, and automated blackout window coverings that made it easy to get a good night's sleep. The private terrace was a nice bonus and added to the overall experience.

The hotel also offered breakfast as an option, which was convenient on busy sightseeing days. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. One service we found particularly valuable was their ability to arrange luggage transfer to our next hotel in Osaka (for a fee), which made traveling between cities much easier and stress-free.

Overall, Gion Elite Terrace combines a great location, comfortable accommodations, modern amenities, and helpful service. We would happily stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Gion Elite Terrace is a great homebase in Kyoto. The hotel is clean, the rooms are incredibly well designed, with comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms, and more. The only downside (which is a larger issue with Kyoto in general) is that the property does not have much authentic Japanese charm or feel because it is largely (75%+) American tourists and staff are perfectly bilingual (a plus, but also a bit disorienting). If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese experience then this likely isn’t for you, but if you was a solid hotel with fantastic levels of comfort then this is for you. The motorized blackout blinds were a huge plus as the sun rises painfully early in summer in Japan (before 5am).

Great location within walking distance to the old Gion neighborhoods and some shrines/temples. Easy access to amenities and shopping. Kiyomozudera is about a 15-20 minute walk so it’s very convenient but it gets busy midday with lots of tourists. The staff was very nice and helpful- letting us check-in early. The room was nice and modern but some things were dirty like the cushion covers (needs to be laundered since there are stains on it) and Toto toilet remote control.

This hotel was really nice. The room we got was pretty big considering Japan sized hotel rooms are usually small. It also had a tub and a sauna in the room. The location was pretty walkable to most sites. Staff were average compared to other hotels we stayed at during our trip, not as welcoming or jolly. There is also free coffee and tea in the lobby all day. Highly recommended staying here.

We arrived early, before the room was expected to be ready, but the front desk tagged and stored our luggage and delivered to the room once it was ready. Very convenient walking distance to Gion area temples and shrines. Easy access to other parts via the bus stop 100 ft away. 帰る方所ですね！

The location of the hotel was perfect for our stay in Kyoto this fall. Walking distance to so many temples, gardens, steps from the Geisha district, shopping & restaurants. The pictures I saw on google maps of the street and immediate surroundings looked a little iffy, but it was just fine, and very quiet. The hotel was absolutely spotless and very comfortable; the staff fabulous, and the small restaurant well run with a very decent breakfast at a reasonable price. It is also only a short block from a 7/11 C-store and a tad further to a small Fresco market, which was handy. Don't laugh (like I did initially) 7/11's in Japan are really good at what they do.

Good stay except breakfasts buffet

Our room was very clean and a lot of spaces. Also, loved the bath room and tab with bubbles.
The design of our room was nice!
Staff were very friendly and fluent in English.
The only negative point was their breakfast. The buffet had very few selections, not much Japanese food at all. There was no curry, even though their advertisement says they have. No chef was present to grill fishes or Kyoto’s traditional dishes. They could improve their break buffet, as I felt it was like **** Inn’s cheap breakfast fast food (e.g. toast, pancake, cereal, yogurt etc.)

They were so friendly and helpful from everything to giving recommendations to helping us ship our luggage to our next hotel. The room itself was beautiful and large! We booked a double queen and the room had plenty of room for four adults to live in for 4 nights. AND THE BATHROOM!!!! The shower pressure was bliss, the soaker tub with the oxygenated bubbles was so nice after long days of walking and big enough to fit 6’2” men! The sauna was a nice touch as well!
