Amazing location, room 1 had view of Yasaka Pagoda right outside the window. Units were very comfortable and had everything we needed, small kitchen, laundry and wonderful bathroom with soaking tubs. Staff was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We stayed with kids and another family. One thing to note, because of tourist crowding on the street it’s not possible for taxi/uber to get right to the hotel, you need to walk a bit to get there. Fine for us but just something to know.

The property was a bit smaller than I thought. The location was more difficult to get to than I wanted. We were lucky our taxi was able to drive up the road. I guess most aren’t allowed. It’s a good walk up hill on a very busy pedestrian street. We had to walk down with luggage at check out. But other than all that the location was great. The washer/dryer was great. The beds were ok and the extra beds/ foam mats were a little rough. Their was 5 of us and a 3 year old. I accidentally entered the wrong number of people staying and they quickly accommodated us for a price of course, but we were very thankful! Everyone had a great time. Just don’t think I would do it again at this place for the price

The location of the hotel is on a beautiful street with views of Yasaka Pagoda. We felt fortunate to see it every time we left or came back. The room had everything we needed and more. Masao was extremely kind and responsive to all our requests. He helped us with our luggage transfer and taxi arrangements. We highly recommend Campton Kiyomizu. We will be coming back!

The location of the hotel is amazing, right next to a very popular photography spot in Gion. Because of this, expect some noises as there are always photographers outside around the clock. Washer dryer is really convenient. The rooms are very well maintained. Short walk to many stores and shops in Gion.

Well supplied kitchen. Good amount of space given the location. Quiet. Lots of tourists in kimonos taking pictures in the street. Near Starbucks and other coffee shops. On historic street. Most difficult issue is getting bags to hotel. Taxi drop off is a few blocks away as street is small, old picturesque and crowded. This means dragging suitcases or strollers a short distance to transportation.

Great hotel in an ideal location. A staff member met us and took us to our room to check us in. The unit had two bedrooms and a large living room area for eating and television. Beautiful room. Great location next to a scenic temple. We had the breakfast in our room. It was tasty and a reasonable price. I highly recommend it!

You will not find a more picturesque location in Gion. In fact, I suspect that directly out the front door might be one of the most photographed streets in all of Kyoto. As we would go out for the day there were always people having professional photos as well as doing amateur photography directly out our door. It's stunning - and even more so at night when most of the tourism has died down. And the apartment itself was exceptional - very traditional and spacious, but with some westernization (such as a regular table and western bed in the downstairs). If I return to Kyoto I'd definitely want to stay here again. It's difficult to imagine a better place in terms of its historic location, beauty, many restaurants nearby, and the apartment itself). The only thing is that if you have mobility issues this might not be the best place for you. It's on a very narrow street that cabs shouldn't really go up, so if going to other parts of town you'll want to walks 3-5 blocks to get to a more regular street to catch a cab.

Amazing place, very authentic, and it has everything you need in the kitchen/bathroom/laundry. Good communication and help from the staff. The area is very busy (and the unit doesn’t have good sound insulation) but at night is quiet and great for walking around/photography. No taxi access so it requires a bit of a walk to the street. The Japanese breakfast was good but it gets old after a couple of days so we had to switch to western breakfast (which is served 5min away so that was a bit inconvenient). Great experience overall.

Right in the heart of

Location is a tourist attraction so if you enjoy walking out of the accommodation right into shops and crowds, it is perfect.
The design of the room itself is wonderful and a great experience.
I do think the room needs a thorough cleaning as there is dust in a lot of unused but visible areas. Floors need a good scrub too. Not the usual kind of impeccable Japanese cleanliness I am used to.
The one downfall is having to lug your luggage from the street all the way to the accommodation. It’s not an easy feat. I really wish they can offer a better solution for guests.

Loved our stay! Highly recommend

We absolutely loved our stay at Campton Kiyomizu 5 and were so glad we chose this location. It was perfect for our family of 4, esp with little kids. The area is so crowded otherwise and we loved walking around in the mornings and evenings once the whole area quiet down. The beauty of Kyoto is in the old architecture so it was special staying in the historical part of town rather than any swanky hotel. The apartment was clean and we paid extra for daily cleaning. Any concerns were immediately addressed and it truly felt like a great stay where we would unwind at the end of the day. Keep in mind that you will need to pay extra for additional bedding for kids. The vegetarian Japanese breakfast was nice as well- great to try different items that we had never tried before.

Like a condo. Bathroom upstairs and down.
Very touristy area. So if you have problems with crowds, you won't like it. If you like to be in the middle of it, it's great. Cabs may not make it to the property (crowds), so you may have to walk your luggage the last few hundred meters. We liked the location, didn't mind the crowds.

Exceptional property in the heart of the Kyoto historic district. We stayed in unit 1.

This property is very special in the high quality of the finishes and beautiful modern Japanese design. It was a delight, from the entry garden, to the unit’s little garden and wooden bath, to the neighborhood environs. We were pleasantly surprised to have a large, delicious traditional breakfast included (though somewhat early delivery at 8:30!)

The pictures do not do the unit justice, as all the small beautiful parts add up to a unique and delightful stay.

In terms of setup, the two bedrooms are separated by sliding doors, so there is more noise carried between them than with a full wall. The dining area had a small kitchenette but not really enough equipment for significant cooking. Unit 1 is at the front of the building near the building entrance so there is some noise on the bottom floor from people coming and going but not much. These are negligible drawbacks though.

The location is in a wonderful pedestrian part of the historic area. As a result, there are a lot of tourists on the street during the day. But since the main building is behind the property’s other building, the unit didn’t experience any street noise. It was as great to be able to experience the calm of this neighborhood in the early morning and night. We loved staying here and would return.

Campton's location was excellent. The facilities within the apartments were good for children and gave a sense of a home away from home.

The close proximity to Hokanji and Kiyomizu-dera allowed a unique early morning access before the usual crowd.

We loved Campton Kiyomizu. First of all the pictures do not really show how beautiful this property is. Second this is a very popular area full of restaurants, shops and lots of tourist (interestingly most were Japanese). We stayed in unit 1 over Thanksgiving with 3 children. The units are brand new, equipped with everything from washer/dryer to a full kitchen. The units are really clean and stylish. Note. they are not kidding about the no shoes. We horrified them by stepping into the first room with shoes on (again the place is spotless). The communication with the staff was a little tough (our fault we don't speak Japanese) but they were so lovely and tried very hard to accommodate everthing we needed. They booked us into 2 amazing restaurants incl a 1Michelin star and another v. high end. I recommend you ask them to make reservations for you way before you go, (through all of Japan, the restaurants were tough to book and really required a Japanese speaker). I had to ask how to use the washer and even the maintenace person they sent was so kind and interesting, I talked to him for 1/2 an hour. This propery had a view of the pagoda which was a very popular place for photographs, we must have seen 1/2 dozen wedding pictures shot while we were there. Overall we'd definitely stay here again, we thought it was excellent and a great change from the giant hotels we stayed in in Tokyo. Thank you to the gracious staff!
