Arguably the best room that I have ever stayed at. Being a part of the Chion-in Temple, we had an opportunity to participate in the daily morning prayer in the main temple. Very close to the Tetsugaku no Michi (Philosopher's Path) and on the other end, Pontocho Alley.

Comfortable, quiet and close to some lovely parts of Kyoto. There is an 11pm curfew to get into the building though so not idea if you want to stay out past 11pm. The parking was confusing but once we knew where it was it was great. Very convenient and plenty of parking spaces. It is part of the Buddhist temple so offers a unique morning ceremony if that’s of interest. Staff are friendly and helpful.

This is an unusual property as it is located adjacent to a Buddhist temple. The staff at the hotel honor the spirit of the temple. The breakfasts were extraordinary and embracing quality and healthfulness. The customer service was all you could ask for. I had the opportunity to join a Buddhist ceremony in the temple early in the morning the day after arrival. it was an experience I will never forget. The hot bath in the beautiful bath pool was wonderful. The staff are kind and responsive, and the facilities beautiful. If you stay here, you will never forget what a wonderful experience you have had.

What a wonderful experience! The location is perfect, secluded within the chion-in temple grounds away from the busy main touristy streets, but close enough to walk out to all the food, shops, and sightseeing spots. The hotel is very welcoming and tranquil, the rooms are spacious and beds were comfy. The staff were helpful and friendly. The on-site onsen was immaculate, so clean and relaxing, not busy at all. We were able to participate in the morning Buddhist ceremony which was truly enlightening to immerse yourself into first thing in the morning to set you off for a lovely day. We rented bikes and they gave us passes to park on the side of the hotel for free. We look forward to coming back to this hotel in the future with no hesitation! Thank you!

初めての一人旅でしたが、女性スタッフの方が温かく迎えて下さり、お部屋も清潔で落ち着きがあり、安心して過ごすことができました。 知恩院さんのライトアップ。とても綺麗でした。朝のご挨拶のお勤めにも参加させていただき、とても清々しい気分でした。 その後にいただいた朝ご飯の美味しかったこと。お粥をいただきましたが身体に優しく、京都のお漬物を存分に楽しませていただきました。 ただその後、チェックアウトまで1時間。着物を着て、荷物をまとめるのに大慌てで、せっかくのお部屋で、ゆっくりする間もなく、ホテルを後にしました。チェックアウトまで、あと1時間欲しかったです。要望しましたが、満室で、叶いませんでした。 でも、京都に行く機会があれば、また利用させていただきたいです。
