Great hotel in an ideal location. A staff member met us and took us to our room to check us in. The unit had two bedrooms and a large living room area for eating and television. Beautiful room. Great location next to a scenic temple. We had the breakfast in our room. It was tasty and a reasonable price. I highly recommend it!
Really good place to stay at! Love the vibe and the first thing in the morning is an amazing view!!!

Incredible location and beautiful property - only potential issue is the crowds of tourists right outside the property, but if this doesn’t bother you, you’re going to love everything about your stay!
You will not find a more picturesque location in Gion. In fact, I suspect that directly out the front door might be one of the most photographed streets in all of Kyoto. As we would go out for the day there were always people having professional photos as well as doing amateur photography directly out our door. It's stunning - and even more so at night when most of the tourism has died down. And the apartment itself was exceptional - very traditional and spacious, but with some westernization (such as a regular table and western bed in the downstairs). If I return to Kyoto I'd definitely want to stay here again. It's difficult to imagine a better place in terms of its historic location, beauty, many restaurants nearby, and the apartment itself). The only thing is that if you have mobility issues this might not be the best place for you. It's on a very narrow street that cabs shouldn't really go up, so if going to other parts of town you'll want to walks 3-5 blocks to get to a more regular street to catch a cab.
Right in the middle of a very nice area for sightseeing. Great area to stay near the Kiyomizu temple for pictures and shopping. We loved had it had a washing machine and dryer along with plenty of space.
Amazing place, very authentic, and it has everything you need in the kitchen/bathroom/laundry. Good communication and help from the staff. The area is very busy (and the unit doesn’t have good sound insulation) but at night is quiet and great for walking around/photography. No taxi access so it requires a bit of a walk to the street. The Japanese breakfast was good but it gets old after a couple of days so we had to switch to western breakfast (which is served 5min away so that was a bit inconvenient). Great experience overall.
Absolutely amazing place, stay and location! Stunning view of Hokan-Ji pagoda temple from our room! The most instagramable temple and street in Gion exactly outside! So beautiful walking outside at night and taking photos! The hosts were fantastic! Highly recommend!
Wonderful culture experience to live in such a good condition in a popular tourist area. We can hop in and out of our Ryokan for breaks during hot summer day. My family had best time.

Right in the heart of
Location is a tourist attraction so if you enjoy walking out of the accommodation right into shops and crowds, it is perfect.
The design of the room itself is wonderful and a great experience.
I do think the room needs a thorough cleaning as there is dust in a lot of unused but visible areas. Floors need a good scrub too. Not the usual kind of impeccable Japanese cleanliness I am used to.
The one downfall is having to lug your luggage from the street all the way to the accommodation. It’s not an easy feat. I really wish they can offer a better solution for guests.
Amazing spot. Lucky to stay here. A personal oasis among the cute (but crowded) walking streets of Kiyumizodera temple area.

Loved our stay! Highly recommend
We absolutely loved our stay at Campton Kiyomizu 5 and were so glad we chose this location. It was perfect for our family of 4, esp with little kids. The area is so crowded otherwise and we loved walking around in the mornings and evenings once the whole area quiet down. The beauty of Kyoto is in the old architecture so it was special staying in the historical part of town rather than any swanky hotel. The apartment was clean and we paid extra for daily cleaning. Any concerns were immediately addressed and it truly felt like a great stay where we would unwind at the end of the day. Keep in mind that you will need to pay extra for additional bedding for kids. The vegetarian Japanese breakfast was nice as well- great to try different items that we had never tried before.
