This was by far one of the most lovely and exquisite hotel rooms we've stayed in. The small zen garden and tatami area were absolutely beautiful. It was a joy to return to the space at the end of each day. The room was very spacious (about the size of a small apartment) and comfortable. The hotel overall was lovely, and the reception desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent - on a quieter street away from the busy areas, yet within a 10-15-minute walk to the city centre and many historic sites. We definitely plan to stay at Rinn Gion Kenninji Villa again next time we visit Kyoto.

The location. The rooms were spacious. Some nice extra features like the indoor garden. Having the fire stick TV first time had that available to us in Japan. Good security.

Great location in Gion. Could walk to several temples and shrines, the downtown area, ponto-cho and metro stations. Seven-Eleven and Lawson's were near by along with many family-run restaurants. The room itself was very spacious and quiet and the lighting was great.

Great location, near all the conveniences but in a quieter back street. Room size was fantastic, big bed (in between queen and king size), great large bathroom and shower. Perfect for our family of 4, with 2 teenagers in single futon mattresses. Very new, modern, clean with all the amenities provided. Room had microwave, fridge and tea/coffee making facilities (pod coffee machine) and Netflix connectivity.

An absolute find this place! In all aspects, this hotel/villa surpassed our expectations. This is the best location to stay in Kyoto without a doubt! Walking distance to everything you could possibly want to visit, right in the Gion district but miraculously escaping the crowded roads! Less than 10 minute walk to stations that will take you anywhere. To top up the location we got an immaculately clean and very well maintained room/apartment, spacious (we were a family of 4 and our two children are young adults), bright and airy. The staff is incredibly friendly, flexible and efficient. Super organised with storing luggage on arrival and/or departure should you arrive early or leave later. Organised our bags to be transported to the next accommodation in a super efficient way. Thank you to all at Rinn Gion Kenningi Villa, we absolutely loved staying with you and will come back!!

Loved the room! It was a perfect Japanese style room with a tatami area and small garden area. Loved the sliding door private entry, it was like entering our own little home, ryokan style! The location was central to train stations and the shopping district close proximity to eating places as well. Staff was extremely polite and professional.

Great location right next to Kenninji temple which is fabulous temple to visit in any case. Easy walking distance to historical Gion area and Hanamidori street, as well as other famous temples such as Kiyomizudeta and Kodaiji amongst others. Room is spacious, spotllessly clean and in quiet neighbourhood.

Fantastic location in the Gion district. We loved being so close to all directions. Trains super close and convenience stores too. Loved the wander to the nearby shrines and the gorgeous streets of Gion. And only 5 minutes walk over to downtown Kyoto. Room was modern, simple, clean and comfortable for our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers. It felt very safe too. Nice and quiet. Would definitely stay again.

Great location in the heart of Gion. Our room was very comfortable, especially the beds. It was nice to have the extra space.

We loved everything about our stay. The villa was amazing in every way. The location can't be beat. I loved how there was multiple lighting options with dimmer switches, this was helpful when other family members were sleeping and it also created a nice ambience. The staff was also amazing! I would absolutely stay here again.
