Kyoto Ryokan Gion Sano

Second time live here. -Staff: super nice and helpful, they can speak English no problem. There are 1-2 staffs can speak good English. -Room: clean and with all things you need, everyday sandwiches&fruits for breakfast and dessert&fruits for afternoon tea. Besides that, there’s also chocolate, coffee, green tea. Also, hot pot, toothbrushes are available. Microwave is also provided. -location: in Gion, close to everywhere, we can walk to the Kiyomizu Temple. About 15-20 min,but all the stores along the store, you don’t feel boring. 4min to bus station and 10 min to the train station. Neighborhood is quiet and very Kyoto! -DOGS!:if you are a dog lover like me, you MUST choose this one, the 4 big dogs are incredibly cute and mild, you can play with them. -others: the geisha show at night, you can prepare some questions for her and get to know more about geishas. -overall: super good all 10, if I ever come back to Kyoto, I’ll definitely stay here for the third time.

Nothing! Everything’s perfect!

The wonderful hosts, the dog, the comfortable bed, and the snacks.

Very nice staffs; maiko performance at the night we stayed; close to bus station; no breakfast but free sandwich and instant noodle were sufficient

A bit pricey

It is well positioned in Gion with only a few minutes walk to a temple. The staff are incredibly friendly and can speak English. The Maiko performance they host was very moving which is a must see for anyone who has yet to see one

There was not much to dislike about the stay, it was quite pricey but worth the traditional Japanese style rooms with the Maiko performance included

Exceptional hospitality
