Laon Inn Gion Nawate
Hva gjestene sier
The location, located on a side street right in the heart of Gion, easy access to subway stations and bus. The room had a small seating area with a little coffee table and 2 chairs. so was a little larger than all the other hotels we had stayed at so far on this trip. Also laundry in building was convenient and worked well

This is a great value for money in a superb location. Despite being right in the midst of Gion it was quiet for sleeping. There are absolutely no frills - really the bare minimum of space for bathroom and beds, no restaurant, and front desk staff only there certain hours - but if you want to save your money for sightseeing and dining as we did you can't do much better. Clean and easy to deal with. A couple tips: you can get breakfast next door at the Granbell for under 2000 yen if you want to eat something other than coffee early in the morning, and get the benefits of a much more expensive hotel without paying for the room there. Also in Japan you can send luggage ahead with various luggage transport services which means you don't have to lug bags on the shinkansen - and the hotel had these brought to our room before we arrived which was great.

There is not to like. Friendly staff who speak good English. I was able to check in early for no extra cost and managed to get a late check out for 1000 yen. Very convenient location. Umbrellas a bonus as is onsite laundry. Unfortunately they are booked out when I return to Kyoto at the end of the year. Very quiet especially considering location. Loved being able to hear temple bell early in the morning. The gyoza bar next door is a must as is the tiny yakatori bar around the corner.

- Very clean - Good facilities: lovely warm toilet, microwave oven, washing and drying machines (coins only) + shower gel, shampoo and hair conditioner were provided (i liked the POLA honey shampoo and hair conditioner, and the lovely smell of the shower gel very much!! <3 I wanted to buy some and bring them home!!) - Good location: close proximity to convenient stores, restaurants and a lot of shops selling souvenirs - Good service: 1) We arrived later than the regular check-in time by mistake but upon prior agreement, we were still accepted. (To the receptionist girl who received us: Many many thanks for your kind help!! We would also like to sincerely apologize for disturbing your sleep! >.< ) 2) Another employee was helping other guests and us to solve the laundry issues. He even offered to have our clothes hanging somewhere if they were not dried well by the drying machines. ^u^ - Additional mirror in the room

Location is very easily accessible as it is near to bus & train station. Near attractions which is walkable by foot (near many sakura locations) & Hotel staff is friendly & nice. When we early check in, they help to store our luggages then transfer to our room when it is ready. When we come back from our walk, our luggages are already in our room (which is fantastic service!). Overall experience is above average. If given another chance, will stay again in this hotel.

Excellent Location. Staff was very nice and helpful. Hotel was in a quite neighborhood and just a couple of minutes walk from the main ( and very crowded) thorough fair. Lot of options to shop and eat. Walkable distance to 2 major train lines. We would stay again.

The property is located very conveniently in the Gion area and close to a subway station and bus stops. The room I booked included a double bed and single, so it could accommodate 3.

Prime location!!! Everything is right outside the hotel (and yet it was peaceful in the room) or just a few minutes walk - konbini such as 7/11, FamilyMart, train station, bus stop, Miffy's kitchen, and other places like Yasaka Shrine, bars, clubs, Pontocho alley, etc. The staff - Arisa and Kawasaki-san are friendly and nice. The room was big for a solo traveler considering the Japanese standard room and it was clean and quite nice. Also, the bath and toilet were separate, that's just great! They had laundry service and a microwave on the ground floor. I eventually extended my stay here. I will be coming back here again for sure!

- I saw someone on Tik Tok recommend this, and it was a good stay for my first time in Kyoto. Location puts you right in the bustling area of Gion, so it's great if you want to be near Kamo River, walking distance to the shopping areas, and close to the subway station. There's Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Nijo Castle west, a bunch of shrines east, Fushimi Inari Taisha south (and further transportation towards Uji), and lots of food recommendations north (which felt a bit out of our way for our first stay). Though I was slightly overwhelmed by how crowded it was, the trade off for such a central location was worth it. - Random but I liked how there was a hamper outside our room for dirty towels, which is nice because I feel like damp towels would make the room humid/stuffy. - There's also easy luggage storage before and after checking in/out, and luggage forwarding would have been easy had we needed it. Staff speak English, so it helped a lot! Thank you!
