    Unique charm in the heart of Gion

    Rinn Gion Shirakawa offers spotlessly clean rooms and a wonderful atmosphere. The help from the staff made exploring nearby attractions easy and enjoyable.

    However, our room lacked natural light, making it feel a bit gloomy. We also found the air conditioning ineffective, which impacted our comfort during the stay.

    limited natural light
    inconvenient policies

    Unfortunately, our room was quite dark due to limited natural light. The early check-out and late check-in policies felt inconvenient, especially since we were charged for an early entry. Additionally, the noise from the floors above was distracting, as footsteps echoed through our standard twin room.

    The room was super spacious! It had a comfy sofa and nice wooden decor. The bathroom was awesome, with twin washbasins, great shower pressure, and a separate tub. Super clean too! Staff were incredibly helpful, giving us local tips. Feeling cozy with all the amenities like the coffee machine and air conditioning. Loved it!

    great location but limited housekeeping

    The room had a beautiful view of the river that enhanced our experience. The location was ideal, making it easy to access restaurants and attractions. The bathroom offered ample space and was well laid out, which we appreciated during our stay.

    cozy room
    peaceful garden
    relaxing onsen
    lack of breakfast

    The room with tatami was cozy and beautifully decorated, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. I loved unwinding in the peaceful garden area and the relaxing onsen, which was a great way to end my evenings. The only downside was the lack of breakfast facilities, but with so many nearby cafes and bakeries, I didn't mind at all! 😊

    tatami area
    ideal location
    limited light

    Rinn Gion Shirakawa was ideally located in the Gion district, a charming area with beautiful traditional buildings and easy walking access to various restaurants. The room featured a tatami mat area and was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate three guests, making our longer stay here enjoyable.

    Limited natural light.

    spacious room
    friendly staff
    limited natural light
    noise disturbance
    ineffective air conditioning

    The spacious room was a standout, providing a comfortable retreat after long days exploring. Friendly staff were always available to assist and offered great local tips. While the location near attractions and a nearby convenience store was a major plus, the lack of natural light in the room was somewhat disappointing, and the noise from above was bothersome at times. Additionally, the air conditioning could use improvement, which affected overall comfort.
