We enjoyed our 5 days / 6 night stay at Minn Gion. It is perfectly located just outside of the craziness of Shijo but close enough to hop onto the Keihan / Tozai line from the Sanjo station. We booked the biggest room possible that had a mini kitchen, full fridge, laundry machine, big shower...couldn't ask for more. Also, there's a Family Mart downstairs to the left, just 10 meters away. Can't beat that! We'll be coming back for sure, 5/5 stars.The photos were taken at checkout, it was 100% clean when we got there 🙏🏼

There are endless advantages, but I only mention some minor shortcomings for reference.(1) Because it is an unmanned hotel, if you check in your luggage from other hotels and no one is available to pick it up, you need to consider it first. It is recommended that the luggage delivery time be set after your own pre-scheduled arrival time.(2) To handle check-in or respond to issues such as facility failure, you can only contact us through the counter tablet and Skype. If you are not familiar with Japanese, English or Cambodian, it will be difficult to get correct assistance.(3) Some taxi guides do not have the name of Minn Gion (they are all spelled ミン and go to another location). It is recommended that foreign tourists first write down the Japanese address in text, get in the car and give it to the driver to navigate with the address.(4) The washing machine is made of silver ions, but does not have a password lock. In addition, because of its small capacity, if you need to wash a large amount of clothes, it is recommended to go to the self-service laundromat next to the LAWSON STORE outside.(5) No matter how many days you stay, garbage bags are only provided once. If the garbage is full, it can only be collected and put aside. The room will be cleaned after check-out.

Good, clean, and large room, pleasant facilities and location - but the “remote check-in” was a terrible experience with an unfriendly person in the video chat. We also called the hotel with some questions, and were met with a very rude response/outright hostility and aggression. I would rate this 5 stars if there were just a real person at the front desk checking people in and answering the phone.Please stop this remote check-in. You’re saving money but the guest experience is truly awful.
