Very modern, nice and clean hotel. It would have been great to have some tea and coffee, though. The one major downside was that the place was hard to find. There are three Minn hotels within a block with very similar names, and this hotel isn’t listed in Google and Apple Maps, so finding the place was a trial and error operation.

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.

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!

What can I say, Minn Gion was my favorite stay out of the three hotels I've stayed at during my trip. I got the \"Comfort Studio with 3beds (with Terrace & Private Sauna Experience 21:30-23:00). Knowing how small hotels can be in Japan in general, this place was a breath of fresh air. There was a living room, an outdoor terrace, and we were provided a private onsen experience with cold plunge, sauna, and hot tub all to ourselves from 2130 to 2300 which was a GAME CHANGER! With all the walking and touring I did on this trip, this amenity was life changing!!! I love the location and the two local restaurants only a couple blocks away were considered in my top 5 food places out of my entire trip! They also do have a washer/dryer in the room if you need to do some quick laundry, only downside was the dryer cycle was for 5+ hours at a time, and it did not even completely dry my partners clothes, so we had to do air dry for a whole day. Minn Gion also has luggage storage if you need to check out and keep your items somewhere. Overall I HIGHLY recommend Minn Gion! and would stay again if I were in Kyoto!

We had a basement terrace room and there was a strong smell that would not go away. It was the the first night and then the second night we had to leave the hotel. Our room was right across from the sauna and the smell there was so bad too. Great big open room, but we couldn’t deal with the smell. I will say the young woman who helped us was very kind and responsive.

The room itself is nice but we had a few issues. Our first morning we woke up to very loud construction noise outside our bedroom window that was unceasing. After a few hours I requested we be moved as my baby was unable to sleep. They immediately moved us to a room on the other side of the building, which we appreciated. However the washing machine in this new room had a foul smell like sewage. After a load of washing this smell had transferred to our clothes and made the bathroom smell terrible.
Also to note, there is often nobody at reception and check in and check out is done electronically with video verification. This made communicating issues a bit more difficult without an actual person there.

Lovely space

Spacious accommodation, location was mostly walkable. A little far with the heat but we managed to transport luggage. The check in was a little confusing, but had showed up when someone was at the front desk which helped expedite it. Can book the private onsen for family which was nice.

Great location and spacious!

The facility has a great quiet location, in walking distance to convenience stores, trains. about 3/4 mile walk to the main shops in Gion, the river walk and many shrines.

The facility has a private spa room which was a great feature. We had a 1 bedroom with 2 sofa beds which were comfortable, the room was spacious and had a side patio.
We speak English, limited Japanese and was able to communicate with the friendly staff.

Lovely hotel. Check in is all automated. Room was very comfortable although we had issues with the air conditioning not working and they moved us to one of the other locations nearby which was fine. Didn’t get a chance to use the onsen. Wish we had!

This was the best hotel during our Japan trip. It was spacious, clean and had a tatami area. The full kitchen and balcony made our stay even more superb. It was also in a quiet area with walkable small local shops and cafes. Also a grocery store close by. It also did have a washer/dryer combo (note:was very hard to use and didn’t dry very well). Other than that, it was perfect!

Loved the location, near the Sanjo metro was nice. The AC in the room was disastrously cold and couldn’t be adjusted to a temperature. So it was either on or off. And in the bedroom the air blew directly on your face. The cold felt good at 5pm when we came back to the hotel, but not so much shortly later.

From check in, spacious room (triple beds), washing machine in side the room, balcony, additional tatami space, locked up storage (before checkin till 17.00) to checkout via barcode, everything is highly efficient and very very bery easy. No human intervention needed at all. The only thing is road noise since our room is facing the road. You can literally hear some passerby's conversation and all the vehicle noise. But will definitely come back again. We love it!!!

Minn was a great apartment hotel for our family of 3 with a 6 year old. Our family suite was spacious, very clean, and modern with a kitchen and appliances. We enjoyed reserving the private onsen with our family. No food or snacks available, but it was near a Lawson and FamilyMart. The location was also in a great walkable area with a few excellent restaurants within a few blocks, and away from the chaotic downtown. My only suggestion would be to have a full-time front desk receptionist; many times there was no one at the front desk and they preferred that you call/text them from the iPad. 100% would stay here again.

This property was traditional Japanese so if that’s what you’re looking for it is a great option. This location is also close to the subway and the downtown district putting it in a really good location. It is more of a townhouse type of a thing than a hotel since there is no restaurant or anything like that. The stove and washing machine was really confusing so I would recommend bringing a translator.

The location was amazing - the rooms were fine - I think expensive for what they were, but fine overall.

I would suggest not booking rooms ending in 1 or 2 as these face the main street and we did not sleep very well at all.

They also only provide a very small single pillow for each person.

The apartment was in good condition. The only room I didn't want was a basement room. This is what I got, despite not booking one and asking for a light room. The bedroom had no window at all. I was disappointed.

Excellent stay in GION

This place was top notch and the best accommodation during our 2.5 weeks in Japan. Centrally located and close to the train station and bus terminal for local busses. It was immaculately clean and extremely spacious. The washer and dryer worked wonderfully. And the feel of an apartment was a welcome change compared to the smaller typical accommodations in Japan. The person at the desk was very helpful and if they were not around, used the tablet provided to phone in for help.

Absolutely love this place. It was our first time in Kyoto and we stumbled upon this place and booked because we wanted the convenience of a washer/dryer after 5 days of travel in Tokyo, and it was a plus that it was cutely decorated. We were so surprised upon arrival to find the place was basically like a one bedroom apartment (so much room!) equipped with everything you’d possibly need to make yourself comfortable. We enjoyed all of the room we had with separate spaces for toilet, shower/bath, laundry, kitchen/dining, living room (couches tv) and also bedroom! Theres also a private onsen to reserve but we unfortunately did not have the time to book. Although the place is mostly self-served, including check-in, we were greeted by staff during check-in and check-out and we were completely blown away by the customer service. I also wanted to add that although these rooms may accommodate multiple travelers, it is important to ensure you’re booking with the correct number of travelers in your party as the base rate may differ a tiny bit.

Kyoto now holds a special place in our hearts and we can’t wait to come back. We’ll definitely be booking this place again when we do! Thank you so much for helping make this trip a memorable one.

Great Hotel for access to Kyoto

There are two primary reasons I picked this hotel, and the hotel satisfied my needs very well.

1. I needed to be close to Rohm Theater Kyoto for a J-pop concert I was attending.
2. I needed a laundry machine in the unit for the Kyoto leg of our trip.

The location was about a 10 minute walk to Rohm Theater as well as the Heian Shrine, so it was great for that. There was easy access to the Kyoto subway, a 5-ish minute walk to a bus station, and a short walk to the Keihan Railway that can take you all the way to Osaka, so access around Kyoto and the Kansai region was great. The location was also a just little bit away from any center of touristy things, so it was nice and quiet whenever we went back to the hotel or in the mornings when leaving. One minor weakness for this hotel is that it is not walking distance to a JR station that I know of in Kyoto, so if you have a JR Rail Pass, I wouldn't recommend this necessarily if you want to maximize the value of your pass, but otherwise, if you just use an IC card like we did, the busses and trains are easy to use.

The hotel itself was nice. Self Check in and Checkout was easy. We had asked the staff for extra towels during our 6 night stay, and they gave them to us no problem. The suite was roomy, and we had space to organize our souvenirs before we left. They had a washer/dryer combo unit which worked enough for our use case.

Overall, I highly recommend this place for a Kyoto stay.

This hotel is self service hotel from the moment you check in with keyless room and rarely anyone will be around to help you.

When we check in, no one welcomed you or explained about anything. He just told us to check in from the pad.

If you are lucky you will find someone but they speak very minimal English or no English.

Also this hotel does not accept luggages transfer since obviously cause no one will be there. If we knew we probably would choose other place instead.

The Apt was pretty spacious compare to others, and provided air purifier/ humidifier. Water pressure was excellent.
But somehow flooding happened when we showered since something was stuck, since it’s late we could not get help so my husband try to clean it and found poop stuck underneath causing the flooding.

We were so upset and went downstairs to complain and call from a tablet and she said she will go to out room.
A girl showed up at our door so we told her about the situation. Also we complain about the smoke smell in the room.

The girl only told us she would tell the manger about the flooding but unclear and what to do about it.
Also for the smoke she said most likely from the lower floor (our room was 3rd floor).

After she left, we try to investigate the smoke smell actually coming from outside window, so we closed it and turn on the air purifier, we could not sleep that night since the smoke smell was pretty bad.

The next day, we did not see the manager and act like nothing happened.

The check in and check out was extremely simple. Room setup and shower were both great. Having the laundry in the room was very convenient. Good location with highly rated restaurants and shops within walking distance.

The negatives:
- Being on the first floor and near the street is very loud. Could constantly hear sirens and people talking
- There was a sewer smell of the window was open and the bathroom was used
- The front desk is typically empty. You can get in touch with staff if you need but it feels less available
- If you stay less than 7 days there is no room cleaning and no information for what to do with trash or getting extra towels, soap, etc.
