Nice, large, well equipped hotel room. Room had a kitchen and was more spacious than other hotels I have stayed at in Japan. Location was well located in the Gion area in a quiet location but steps away from shops and restaurants, away from the very busy areas which I appreciated. Check in was fully virtual.

The Minn Gion is a very good choice. I gave it 4 stars becasue I am a hard marker. It is well located in the northern part of the Gion district but only 5 to 10 minutes walk due south to the heart of the district. Compact, clean rooms with kitchenette and amenities. While the on-site staff is hidden away, they are responsive. Anthing related to check-in and queries about the booking are handled virtually by video call in the lobby. No amenties such as food or drink in the lobby but small resturants, Lawsons, near by and Freshco grocery 7 minute walk. I do reccomend for those who like a house-keeping unit in a quiet neighbourhood and not much extra hotel amenities.

Great accommodation. Could not recommend it more highly. In quite a nice spot in Gion. Only a short walk to bustling areas and relatively quiet at night. Th e rooms are spacious enough for Japan standards. Hotel seems new and well thought out. Really enjoyed my stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in Gion!

We had a lovely stay at this accommodation in late Sept. It was clean, modern and the beds are very comfortable. They had a higher-end washer and dryer (combo) machine for use. I stayed at another place and they only had washer option, so I had to hang dry my clothes. I did use their washer/dryer so it was useful, especially after the rain. We weren’t drenched but I wanted to have clean clothes. The room decor is pretty and I love the wall mural. Self check-in was super easy and the staff were always quick to respond to any questions I had. Virtual Staff is professional and friendly. We were coming back from Universal Studios in Osaka and weren’t sure if we would be able to check-in before midnight, but they assured us it was fine if we came after midnight. We came before midnight so it worked out. I noticed an area for suitcase storage and thought that was useful. It is unmanned so you have to lock or secure it yourself if needed. This place is in a quiet neighborhood and a Family Mart is steps away. They provided complimentary umbrellas at the entrance which was so handy because it did rain when we went out to dinner in Pontocho. We returned the umbrella after we came back. Location is nice for a leisurely walk by the river and to Nishiki market. Gion is such a cool area and we really like this accommodation. I recommend this place to others and we would come back and stay here again too.

A perfect apartment type accommodation for a family of 4. Minn Gion is perfectly located near the hidden streets of Kyoto in the Gion region. The apartment itself was very comfortable, clean and had all the amenities needed to make our stay comfortable and convenient. A family mart is downstairs which made thinhs easier and walking distance to the local restaurants, markets and train stations

I love the property, the location, the area around… however the staff-less service, not too fond of it. I had issues receiving an email with the code for the baggage locks (never received it, even though I send the form twice following the steps), and there was no one to assist. I felt it was very impersonal.
