Rinn Kyoto Gion Shinbashi

Nice little hotel in a convenient location for Gion and the sights nearby, within easy walking distance of both metro and bus stops. We used the bus to get back from Kinkaku-ji to the hotel and it stops a 3 minute walk away, The room was small, as is to be expected for a family room, but was clean and comfortable with a toilet separate from the main bathroom. It was very quiet, and had aircon so the temperature was comfortable. The reception staff were very friendly and spoke good English. We only stayed here for one night, and it was ideal for a 2 day Kyoto tourism trip.

Just a few minutes walk to the restaurants and about 15 minutes to the old town Kyoto. It has basic amenities but has clean room, and of course, small, Japanese standard. It’s quick cab ride from the train station. There is a 24 hr store a block away if you need anything including some hot food. I don’t mind staying here again.
