Rachel
Great location, really nice hotel and spacious room for Japan. Would definitely recommend.
Olivia
Great location and very clean
Vanessa
Great location! Very central and near so many shops, dining options and temples. Very clean rooms, refreshing towels daily but only cleaning rooms every 4 days. The rooms are a good size, I know they can be a little smaller in Tokyo and maybe Kyoto as well, but it was a good size at this hotel. Great staff. I definitely recommend staying here!
LaDonna
The basics are provided and the location is great. The room stays pretty warm though, even with the air conditioning.
jeremy
The hotel is basic but very nice and functional. Excellent location for tourists sites and great restaurants. They even offer in room massage after a long day.
Josie
Great location - lovely room - helpful English speaking staff - would stay again :)
Amy
Great location, across the street from Lawson , walking to the main area , train station a little bit of a walk 10mins maybe, there is no sign in English for the hotel so hard to find at first but right next to cafe and directly across from Lawsons. Down side is no laundry and no pool or any amenities. Room is a good size big for Japan and the rooms are actually sound proof
Ryan
Location was good
Melinda
Very close to Gion Cnr and other tourist attractions. The staff were fantastic and the feel of the hotel was great.

Leanne
Lovely property the rooms are very clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Brian
Great location! Clean, comfortable, affordable
This was a great little fine. The location was fantastic right in the heart of Gion- one of the Geisha districts. It was easily a number of historic sites and temples, and a lot of great shopping and restaurants. The rooms were a little on the smaller size, but they were very clean and comfortable, and the rates were very affordable overall a good hotel in a great location.
Alberto
Very close to a few very touristic spots and several places to eat.
Karen
We stayed here for one night. It was convenient & central.
Daniela
Fantastic hotel. Very friendly and lovely staff. Super convenient location in Gion, walkable to all major attractions in the area. Spacious rooms and very clean and comfortable.
JP
Good hotel, caution in summer.
Clean; quiet, nice materials.
The AC unit is weak, and they do not pre-cool the room, meaning that during the summer it’s uncomfortably hot when you arrive.
To power the AC unit, you have to put your key inside. This means if you leave with your key for the day, it will be hot when you return since it’s not actively cooling.
Friendly staff, clean, big by Kyoto standards. Would stay again. Ask for a second key, and just keep it in to run the air condition.

Location in Gion worked for us. Staff was nice and professional. Room was a decent size and clean. Would stay here again.
Lynn
Clean and good location.
Maggie
Hidden gem in Kyoto
Loved our stay here! Fantastic location. It is away from the very busy street but close enough to all the main attractions. The hotel was nice and clean. Beds were comfortable. The rooms are more spacious than your typical Japan hotel. Our flight was very delayed and we were worried that we wouldn’t be able to check in, based on the hotels strict no check in after midnight policy. We were very grateful that staff waited for us to check in.
Patrick

Well located, cute little place. Walkable to everywhere in Gion.
Ahmed-ziane
It is perfect f you don't mind the hotel music all night while you are sleeping.
The staff was very helpful and responsive when I asked them to cut it down for the night.

Kristina
Staff was friendly and helpful. They helped us with the local laundry service they advertise in the lobby. The location is phenomenal. Walking to everything is so easy and there are beautiful spots all around.
Barbara
I loved the location of hotel
Natalie
Great little hotel in the old Kyoto. Large, clean and very comfortable rooms. In walking distance to list of restaurants, temples and a quick walk to the train. Staff are warm and helpful. No restaurant or bar onsite as advertised , looks like there may have been one next door at some stage. The hotel is near a few sex hotels that seem to start getting busy around 9 pm, but this didn’t affect our stay. Just thought I’d mention it, so others are aware. We would book this hotel again, if we return to Kyoto.
Rozalie
Good hotel to rest
Great place to stay for NYE. Near temples and a short 15 mins walk to the main strip in Kyoto. There are a few love hotels around so maybe not a family area. Also a good 10-15 mins walk to the popular Gion Edo strip that leads to the most photographed temples
Pichawi
Very convenient and nice staff
Vi
Probably one of our favourite hotel rooms from our Japan trip! We were very pleasantly surprised by the size. It was a good amount of space; much bigger than some of the rooms we’ve stayed in here. It was very clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly. Would have appreciated laundry facilities as well but small price to pay for a great stay.
ALVIN
Great stay, no issue, walkable to lots of restaurants, would stay again.
Maria
Gion U-Bell hotel Kyoto
Good location,with easy access to main street shopping and public transport. Next to an important temple. Lovely stay.
vanessa
The property was in the old charming part of the Gion area which I loved. But the room was musty & dusty. I had to continually use allergy meds and asthma inhaler. They also did not offer luggage shipping options. Which really helps out solo travelers with luggage.
Dean
This is a great, small hotel in an excellent location. Rooms are large (for Japanese standards), have good amenities, and are clean. The bed was quite hard and it hurt my back a bit, and this is coming from someone who likes firm mattresses. There are no other hotel facilities to speak of, but if you want a clean, comfortable and stylish room in the centre of Gion, I recommend this hotel.
Terri
The staff are lovely and very helpful. The room was clean and spacious. Very quiet room with only 3 rooms per floor. The location is perfect and most attractions are walkable. We would stay here again without hesitation.
William
I stayed in this hotel for about two weeks, which is probably far longer than the typical business hotel guest. Despite this, the staff kept the room clean and well stocked with towels, and were very friendly. The location was perfect and had easy access to all 3 major convenience stores and was just minutes away from the historical parts of Gion.
Karina
Love the area !!
Simple and easy stay. Front desk people were super sweet and helpful. They don’t have laundry facilities. The area is nice close to a cute street.
Traci
Staff is exception. Went the extra mile to help with anything we needed.
JANE
Very quiet and oversized rooms w desk and small love seat. Nice tub towels and firm bed.
Maria
Great location
Leah
The staff were so accommodating, helpful and friendly. The room was very spacious! Probably the biggest room we had during our whole trip. Great location.
Rebekka
Very close to great restaurants, tea ceremonies, shrines, and the subway. The hotel staff were very helpful and the space was beautiful. Thank you!
