Awesome little place, with a very thoughtful and overall smart concept and design. Location, room, cleanliness, vibe, staff - everything was exceptional. Rooms in cozy japanese style with a modern touch - complimentary Croissants, Coffee and Orange juice in the morning. The place to stay when in Kyoto!

Despite the complementary croissants in the morning, it would be nice that the hotel can offer a full breakfast with supplement

Everything was perfect; very nice location, very helpful staff, very comfortable rooms

The idea of the evening drinks was nice however there wasn't really anything we liked to drink. White wine never seemed to be available the the red wine was not really ro my taste. I ended up buying wine from the great wine shop over the road and having an evening drink in our room which meant we missed the convivial atmosphere. There was a weird situation where we had to be out of our room one day for an hour for "deep cleaning". We weren't in any way compensated for the fact that we have to be gone by that time; and no one really explained what "deep cleaning" was - we were told something about a spray and the effect of these chemicals on my possessions and to be breathing them worried me.

It was lovely to have high quality croissants and coffee for breakfast. Maybe some fruit would have been a nice additional touch? We loved the personal contact with the staff. On tablet with information was great and it had useful restaurant information however if we asked reception for restaurant recommendations all they did was point us to the ones on the "app" and ask us to choose one. They should participate in some family in local establishments so that they can make good recommendations. All the staff were friendly and warm and most have excellent to good English. We particularly appreciated that use of the laundry was complimentary. Our room size was fabulous but we did have the largest room available. For a lengthy stay this made things really comfortable.

We loved our stay at Miru Kyoto Gion - the location was perfect, the room was comfortable and the staff were very friendly.

The steps up to the room but a small price to pay for such a beautiful room.

The breakfast croissants were a lovely little touch.

Beautiful building, so serene after day with the maddening crowds. Quiet ++, slept so well. Brilliant position, able to get up early and walk Gion area in peace. Walking distance to Potoncho Alley and market. Train line to Fushian Inari is 5 minutes walk away. Crossiant for breakfast is perfect, quick and tasty and you can get going with your day. Front of house staff are attentive and sweet. Suggested and booked an amazing restaurant for us, a short walk away. Organised on forwarding of luggage and taxi to Kyoto station. We were enchanted!

Location was perfect for walking in the beautiful Gion area. Nishiki market and Pontocho street were just across the bridge and 7/11 next door for morning smoothies. Our deluxe room was really modern but with japanese feel, perfect! Plenty of room and the bed was the best we slept in on our trip. Staff was very helpful. Would stay here again.

Nothing to change.

The location was terrific. Walkable for most of the Gion area, right next to a 7-11. The rooms were new, comfortable, clean, large, and space well used. Especially loved the wet room and tub after a long day! The service and concierge was terrific. Having laundry in the hotel was a game changer. We are already planning to stay here again when we return.

EVERYTHING! The location is brilliant - right in Gion. The room is large, spectacular and so well appointed. The shower is amazing and the bed so comfy. The staff could not be more helpful - so attentive and so friendly - and the complementary croissant and coffee to start the day was a lovely touch. It was my husband’s birthday and the hotel made it really special with an impromptu card and a small bottle of champagne. The hotel is small - only 10 rooms - making it so intimate. The hotel have a washer dryer onsite and were very helpful when we used it (3 times!).

The location is perfect, close to most of attractions by walking, in a walking distance there is a train station. The staff is kind and helpful. The morning coffee is a great start for the day. We booked a Japanese style room which was spacious, clean and with a great bath.

I wish there was more natural light in our room. Everything else was great.

Fantastic location, the room was great, the bed was comfy and the washroom was spacious. Concierge was super helpful, especially Tonia as she helped us ship our luggage to our next destination.

We should have stayed a week instead of a couple nights! The place is top notch from staff to facility.

I thought we were just booking an simple Airbnb, when in actuality we were booking a room in a modern Japanese boutique hotel. It was exceptional beyond our expectations. We will go back and suggest you give it a stay the next time you are in Kyoto!

The best location in Gion.

More information about the area upon check in would have been useful. I only found the maps of the area etc on the day we left.

Beautiful building very close to Gion with great rooms and very friendly staff.

The staff were friendly and very welcoming when we arrived, and the room was magnificent. Very large for what I have come accustom to while travelling in Japan. Comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom.

Everything was perfect. I didn’t like that we had to leave!! We will be back.

What an incredible find! This wonderful boutique hotel is a modern take on a traditional ryokan. We were a family of 5 and enjoyed 3 nights in 2 rooms at this little gem. Set in the bustling night life district of Gion, we felt like locals. The staff were friendly and attentive. The rooms were absolutely spotless and every amenity thought of. The Nespresso coffee machine was a winner but my favorite feature was the bathroom. So much fun in the shower room and I am sure that the very fancy toilet could read my mind! Haha. A wondrous experience.
