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.

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.

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!

Location, location, location. You won’t go wrong with this hotel. Located just a few minutes from beautiful temples and shrines. Gion, the tea house and Geisha district is so close. Service is outstanding however don’t expect fluent English speaking staff as in most of Japan. You will have the option to attend an early Buddhist ceremony (free), I highly recommend it if you are on tourism (all religions are welcomed).

Great location, very quiet, next to beautiful temple of Chion-in, yet super close to everything, in particular busy Gion district. The hotel has a curfew at 11pm, which did not bother me but is not very convenient if you want to enjoy a later evening out.
