Property and room was very clean. Property convenient to market, convenience stores and a metro station. Only complaint is our toilet started leaking the second day and could not be fixed until the next week. We were only there for three nights. We had two options: 1) continue to use the room and use the toilet in another room 2) split us up into two rooms. It was my wife and son. We opted for the two rooms which were significantly smaller. I initially reserved a big room that had two bedrooms. I was disappointed that we could not get the same size room as I had initially reserved. Other than that it was a comfortable stay.

I cannot say enough about how much I loved staying at this property! It is conveniently located near many key areas of Kyoto, with easy access to transit stations and convenience stores, yet it was very quiet and away from the crowds, nestled in a quaint neighborhood. The amenities in the room were well appointed and thoughtful, I especially loved the ReFa shower head and blow dryer. Having a washer/dryer combo machine was a delight. There was plenty of space for my family of 5 and all of our baggage. The kitchen was fully functional. The staff was friendly and attentive. The only thing I could’ve used was a diagram with instructions to operate the air conditioning and washing machine, but I was able to figure it out with the help of staff and Google translate. Overall our stay was a 10/10! I will definitely be staying at a MINN property again.

Pre check in was available, easy to do.

The room we booked was quite spacious, exceptionally clean and quite luxurious. The washer-dryer combo unit worked well. Laundry detergent was provided. We used it on a daily basis, clothes came out completely dry.

Pots, pans, plates, bowls, utensils, a knife, scissors and dish soap were provided in the kitchen.

I cannot find a single negative thing to say about this place even if I wanted to nit pick.

Definitely recommended for a family traveling together.

Our stay at Minn Karasuma Gojo began with an exceptionally smooth check-in, followed by a pleasant surprise when we saw how modern and new the room and furnishings were, while still beautifully reflecting traditional Japanese aesthetics.

The hotel is within easy walking distance to amenities and transportation.

All appliances and furnishings felt brand new, and the bedding was firm yet very comfortable. The in-suite washer–dryer was a particularly welcome convenience and made our stay even more comfortable. For guests unfamiliar with these machines, it’s worth noting that the drying cycle can take over an hour, and the safety door lock, triggered by high temperatures it will not release until the unit cools to a safe level. We initially tried powering the machine off to reset it, but it held our garments until the temperature sensors allowed the lock to disengage. All was well in the end, just a small learning experience.

We also appreciated the keyless entry system for both the building and the room, which made coming and going easy and hassle-free.

I had trouble using the remote check in and check out process. Had to request an agent both times. Once I got to an agent, everything was fine. The hotel has the MOST amazing hair dryer - I loved it so much I ended up buying one to bring home with me. Also, the hotel is in a residential neighborhood so they are really strict about making sure your blinds / windows are closed and not letting out any light after it gets dark. We forgot to do that and was out all day - got an email to remind us to close our blinds. It's a bit annoying so be prepared for that.

Excellent hotel. So glad we found it. Close to Gojo Station (1 stop North of Kyoto Station). Seamless check in and check out. They were happy to hold our luggage until 5pm the day of check out. Rooms are very spacious with great amenities. A fun highlight for girls: they offer the Panasonic smart hairdryers in the rooms. I loved using it!

Room was spacious and small washer/and dryer were there which took 8 hours to finish. Since there were washer, we need to wash the towels to reuse, they do not exchange any towels. Worst yet, the guy at the door was so unfriendly when he helped us, and we regret to stay there. The baggage’s can leave at the hotel before the check in. But no attendance but we need to use the insecure lock which can easily taken off.

Room was very spacious and clean. Washer and dryer in room was great, but a bit confusing to translate. Automated check in was easy. Only thing that was disappointed in was the tatami mat room wasn’t actually bamboo mats, it was vinyl covering. Not a big deal, but I was excited to have a tatami room.

Great location. Walkable to subway and bus stops. Down the street from a really good matcha place called Totoro, but be prepared to wait in line after it opens at 10am.

Our room was lovely with the tatami room to sleep in. The beds were very comfortable. Loved the kitchen table and chairs. We made tea most evenings and relaxed and had snacks and talked about the day we had. We used the washer everyday! Have to hang your clothes up in the shower room to dry thoroughly but it worked for us. Super nice to have the toilet in a separate room from the shower and sink. Loved all the fixtures and amenities. Would definitely stay there again. Very happy with the choice.

The room was very clean and spacious. The location was great, just a few minutes’ walk to the subway station. Check-in was a bit slow, as I had to wait quite a while for an agent to respond. Unfortunately, the hallways were noisy late at night and early in the morning, and we could hear footsteps from the people staying above us.

Stayed here about a week with my brother and I must say this was a fantastic choice. Located less than 5 minutes away from the Gojo train station, it is right next to alot of amenities so you can walk or commute to wherever you need to get. It's also one stop away from Kyoto station, so long distance travel is alot easier.

Being an aparthotel it's larger than that standard Japanese hotel which was great. It had everything we needed and had plenty of space to feel comfortable.

A few notes:
-the combined washer/dryer is not super efficient at drying. I had to run the drying cycle multiple times, and it took upwards of five hours for it to completely dry. This is important if you plan to bring less clothes, but also the climate is very humid so we had to frequently come back to the apartment to take showers as we would be drenched in sweat (at one point I took a shower 4 times in a single day)

-Only some of the instructions are in English. The washer/dryer was only Japanese, and only part of the toilet instructions were in English. Make sure you have some sort of translation app.

-The bedrooms are quite small. For example, my room had a queen bed and had about a foot of clearance between it and the door.

-The hotel is tucked away in a residential area, so try not to make too much noise.

Minor quirks aside, none of this should detract from the fact that it was great choice to stay in Kyoto and would go there again.

Loved staying here. Room was huge and spacious--much bigger than other hotels in Japan. Neighborhood was quiet and it felt like an experience to be in a more residential part of town than others. That said, it wasn't as close to shopping/restaurants, but there are still plenty of options around. We found that the bus was sometimes more convenient than the subway, and a good way to see the lay of Kyoto. It did take a little bit to get used to the automated system of checking in, but totally fine once you got used to it. We had to request new towels once through the chat option in the lobby and within an hour we found new towels dropped outside our door--swapped old towels which were taken away promptly. Room itself was clean, great amenities with the kitchenette and washer/dryer, AC worked great--no complaints and would definitely recommend and stay again!

Das Hotel arbeitet mit einem menschenlosen Check-In. Das funktionierte in meinem Fall nur bedingt.

Zimmer war sehr sauber und wie angegeben ausgestattet. Die Fenster lassen sich nicht öffnen und sind aus Milchglas, sodass kein Blick nach draußen möglich ist. Zudem soll man ab 6 Uhr abends die Rollos schließen, damit kein Licht nach außen dringt. Ich habe es ein wenig erdrückend empfunden, nicht raus schauen zu können.

Die Lage ist gut, genau zwischen Bahnhof und dem Gion Viertel. Man sollte allerdings gut zu Fuß sein - sowohl die Bushaltestellen als auch Bahnstationen sind nicht direkt nebenan.

住宿前幾天會收到pre-checkin的信，填完後，到飯店時到平板再做一次確認即可入住。
因為有烹飪的緣故，不希望一般垃圾在房間留太久，所以每天會請飯店提供新垃圾袋做替換，第一天更換在垃圾桶底部放一個空的，之後都是掛在門把上給我們。但其中一天請飯店再提供垃圾袋時，他們有用英文說垃圾桶底部有個spare，我回他們我知道，但已經用掉，所以才需要新的，總之對於提供垃圾這件事他們感覺沒有很願意。（我們也只有一般垃圾比較常換，回收則是等滿了才倒）
有天好奇把沙發床下第三人的寢具抽屜打開，發現有點發霉…
