This is genuinely one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. It’s so good, that I’m currently lying awake at midnight, in Osaka, wishing I was back at Hotel Gion Ichirin.My partner and I stayed two nights. Everything about our stay was perfect. Staff was welcoming and helpful , and the room and hotel were all spotlessly clean. The rooms are spacious and well laid out. The bed is extremely comfortable, there are two pillows per person, and the tv is massive with the ability to cast. There are a ton of little luxuries in the room that make you feel at home - the usb ports by the bed, the fully stocked mini fridge, the little treats, and tea. The pajamas were some of the most comfortable things I have put on and I wish I could have bought a pair.This review is already too long, but finally: the bathroom is transcendent. You forgot something at home? Don’t worry - hotel gion Ichirin has thought of it for you. The blowdryer is high quality, as is the curler/straightener that’s in the bathroom. The tub is a deep soak with a tv there, the bath products are good quality, and the rainfall shower? Life-changing.I wouldn’t even consider staying anywhere else in Kyoto, now.

Definitely the most beautiful hotel i've stayed at, right in the heart of Gion. Right from walking in I was surprised to see amenities that most hotels offer at a premium, like snacks and drinks that don't charge you when you take them, a jacuzzi tub, and a tv that actually lets you airplay from your phone and isn't restricted. There's also beautiful private onsen at a reasonable price. The only thing that's missing is a breakfast. Even if it's not a buffet and to order it would be a nice touch! I'll definitely be staying here again in the future.

I love this hotel. Close to Kyoto attractions and so serene. The hotel is simply elegant. Rooms were very comfortable and have AC. Staff was very polite. Do yourself a favor and book a private bath, especially on a rainy day. Highly recommend!
