Best service, most comfortable and excellent location. We stayed in room 402 and I would recommend it to anyone. The morning croissant and juice was a good start to the day.But the very best part of our stay was how good and friendly the staff are.

I recently stayed at the Miru Kyoto Gion, and I can't recommend it highly enough! If you're looking for exceptionally comfortable, spotlessly clean accommodations in an unbeatable location with a fantastic staff and great value-for-money, look no further. The rooms are thoughtfully laid-out and come with nice bedding, a Nespresso, an iPad with information about the property and surrounding location, and a fantastic restroom with Japanese-style commode. The morning coffee/croissant service is the perfect way to begin a day of Kyoto exploration. The property places you on a somewhat quiet street in the heart of Gion, and getting to nearby rail stations isn't difficult at all. Can't wait to return to Kyoto and, when I do, I'll stay here again!

First of all, the location is great. It was great to be able to easily walk through the romantic traditional streets on Gion Street. As it is a new hotel, it is sophisticated and clean, and is a good blend of tradition and modernity. The staff is also very friendly, highly recommended!

The hotel is beautiful, you can't be better located in Gion. The area is superb, lots of very good restaurants right next door. The hotel provides you with lots of information on events, restaurants and activities to do. The entire staff is adorable. We spent four nights in a Deluxe Double room. Very spacious. The bedding is very comfortable. The superb bathroom with separate toilet. In the morning, you are entitled to coffee / fruit juice & croissant in the hotel lobby. We loved our stay.
