10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely stunning hotel. I was genuinely sad to leave. The room was beautiful and exceptionally well equipped. The standard was so high that I was guaranteed to be disappointed by my next hotel destination. Would thoroughly recommend and would love to return in future.

Melissa, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent place to stay in Gion. Really nice location, convenient. Attentive staff but they will not get in your way. Nice bathroom with a Japanese-style shower and tub area. Very clean and nice amenities. Although no breakfast provided, they provide suggestions and a convenience store is right across the street.

Robbie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! If you want to stay in the Gion area, this is a great spot. Just a few blocks off of major shopping stores but near lots of little historic alleyways. Not the most convenient location to get to Kyoto station, but it’s an easy 10 min ($10usd) taxi ride. Lots of fine dining restaurants around if you want that, have to look a little harder for cheaper restaurants, but I had the best ramen a block from the hotel. The staff were awesome, the place was very clean and quiet and you can’t beat the location. Being right by the river is awesome too. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Gion.

Great location! Very comfortable and spacious rooms. Great bathrooms with double sink. Would highly recommend and will book again.
Matthew, 5-night trip

The hotel is located in Gion, the Geisha district. It is located very close to important landmark and temples. I loved the rooms and specially the bathroom.
EDUARDO, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Exceeded expectations

Booked this room in Kyoto for the extra space and comfort, and was very impressed! Having extra room for myself and my Brother and his family to relax in after a day of sight seeing was a great call. It wasn't cheap, to be sure, but it exceeded my expectations and is one of my all time favorite experiences with a hotel. Sometimes it is worth it to splurge a little, especially with how small most hotel rooms are in Japan. The llocation was also perfect! Highly recommend!!!

Small place in a great location surrounded by Kyoto's best streets. "no shoes" flooring inside, if that's a factor for you. Great bathroom, and overall was super comfortable.
Mitchell, 7-night trip

The rooms are very spacious with lovely bathrooms. The property is right in the heart of gion easy to walk to local temples.

Fint hotell i mysigt område.
Theres, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This place has a ton of potential. However the stained tatami mats, small shower and outdated toilet were disappointing. The staff were basically paper weights with no customer service training. At one point our room had second hand smoke from someone indoor or outdoor smoking. Otherwise, Gion is the best part of Kyoto, and Rinn is perfectly located. Too bad the controllables were not better managed. This could have been a five star rating.
Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good place.
Ali, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved it. It was very clean, modern yet traditional. It even smelled soothing in the halls and lobby! Location was perfect for our needs. They do have a wash/dry machine - but it is a condenser-style dryer so be prepared for a long dry time. There are several walk-able laundromats in a pinch. Would 10/10 stay here again.
