Hotel Sou Kyoto Gion
What Guests Say
Bed and pillow was comfortable, The aircond works perfect. Complete amenities provided. There is a kitchennette available complete with cooking utensils, but you need to rent it for 500yen. But we did not need to use it anyway. Suffice just by using microwave. Appreciate that they provided big bin in the unit. Washing machine was a bit complicated to understand. But the staff was just a WHATSAPP away and you just can immediately ask for anything. Ouhh, and they provided ear plugs for the guests. Thats a bonus ;)

Everything. The twin room is fairly big for Kyoto and Japan in general. You have a separate kitchenette with a mid sized normal (!) fridge and microwave oven, separate toilet with washing machine/dryer and a separate bathroom with a bathtub. They provide also free umbrella rental. Also the location is fantastic! Bus station just a few metres from the hotel, only 2 bus stops from Kawaramachi, good restaurants around and a lot to do in walking distance. 11/10, would stay again next time!

The location is really good if you are interested in the Gion area, Yasaka Shrine, Maruyama Park, Chionin Temple, Kenninji Temple... And if you like to walk a lot like I do, you can easily reach the Kiyozumi-dera Temple (20min) and the Nishiki Market (15m). And from the Nishiki market, you can walk 2km to reach Kyoto Station. From Kyoto Station, I took the 206 bus which took me directly to the hotel, it was ony like a 5 minutes walk. There are a lot of restaurants and convenient stores like Family Mart, Seven Eleven, Lawson, Drug stores nearby and you can easily rent kimonos from stores in the same road. Regarding the room, it was modern and clean, definitely worth the money. Even without the staff being there, it was not hard to check-in and check-out yoursevles.

Perfectly located in the Higashiyama Ward in front of the Yasaka Temple and well connected with buses and train lines. It is also very comfortable and clean. I cannot imagine a better hotel for the price.

Loved the availability to check in early for a very small fee and the location is amazing. The apartment style is excellent too as it was ample room with the kitchenette separate from the bath and the bedroom. Small closet was helpful plus desk and side tables. Even having a hallway felt like a luxury. Towels and bath supplies were very luxurious and I would stay here again. Location was super good -- close to a shrine, a shopping street and of course a short walk to Gion. Loved this!

There is no human interaction! A strange first time experience. The owner Doris Chang has it well organised but for us, initially a matter of worry as we did not know what to do if we needed something. You can leave your luggage inside the entrance. No lockup facility but its safe. Check in is strictly as per time or fee payable for early checkin, standard practice. This is a private house converted into a boutique apartment hotel. Three rooms per floor, three floors. We had five rooms. Each apartment is spotless and the washing m/ c etc are functional. We found three of the front glass of-the washing mc cracked. I wrote a msg to Ms Chang and she confirmed that these were old damages. She is prompt in replying.

As prior reviews have said this is an apartment. Kitchen, Bathroom, Bedroom, small Hallway with the amenities you would expect including a washing machine. Check in is totally remote with printed instructions to follow and key in a lock box. No breakfast but many restaurants close by, along with a Starbucks for coffee lovers. Great Location. Very close (walkable) to historic Kyoto. We plan to stay here again when we go back to Kyoto in the Spring.

After spending a few nights in very small, but efficient hotel rooms in Tokyo and Osaka, it was refreshing to have a little bit more space to feel at home. The location was very close to sites we wanted to see and many resturants. We were glad to have access to a washing machine to clean some of our clothing before returning home.
