Excellent location, nearby key sightseeing spots, beautiful and spacious bedroom and bathroom for a family of three. Very nice staff.

The staff were incredible! They were so attentive and accommodating. They anticipated our needs and offered recommendations before we asked. The service and friendliness made our stay perfect!

Bot staff nice gimmick but ultimately not as good as humans

Location central

As this is a traditional Japanese ryokan, breakfast is Japanese style. You can like it or not but this makes the experience more authentic. If you are used to a different kind of breakfast you have to consider going to a nearby cafe (there’s plenty around) or get something at 7Eleven and bring it to your room.

Your cozy home away from home! I could not recommend more staying at Gion Oyado Kikutani, the location is the best in town and the rooms are fantastic. You feel like teleported in old Kyoto. Huge benefit is the private onsen in the room. Staff is amazing

Each room came with a private cypress wood bath which made the bathroom smell amazing. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. He spoke great english too.

The light switch is not quite obvious, I was looking for it for a while in the first day.

Everything, but sometimes I kinda worry about the golden fish in my room, have it been feed everyday?🤔

Bed wasn’t my favorite but I’m pregnant and don’t have the best back so just a personal preference, my husband was fine

Loved the private onsen bath in our room. Staff is amazing and very helpful and accommodating, they made our stay ten times better

Nothing. It is expected that you will hear little noise because its tatami. I still was able to leave my TV on the whole night - in a minimum volume…

Clean and comfortable Different experience from being in the regular hotel Friendly staff - he explained how things are inside the room. Nice room. About 15-20 mins walk to Sannenzaka -and kiyomizudera temple, kyoto starbucks, shops, 29 mins. On a taxi to the Arayashima Bamboo. 3,000-4,000 yen

There is nothing we dislike.

The private onsen is amazing and perfect for the body after a day’s long of walking. Wished we stayed longer as Gion needed more time for exploration.

The property is in such an incredible location. We wanted to be in the heart of old Tokyo and experience the art and culture of the city. We absolutely got it here. The room was beautiful and quiet. The staff went out of their way to make it an incredible stay. Will recommend to anyone I know traveling to Kyoto.

This was a terrific place to stay in Kyoto. The staff was friendly and helpful, booking several nice restaurants for us. The room was very well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Great location in an atmospheric neighborhood, and we walked almost everywhere. We appreciated the mix of Japanese (bento) and English (cafe voucher) breakfasts.

The listing said we'd get a Japanese breakfast to enjoy in our room each morning of our stay. When we arrived we were given a voucher for a cafe down the road for our first morning and told we'd get a bento box on our second morning. The bento was great; this is what we had expected for breakfast each day of our stay. The cafe breakfast was not such a good experience. It was not that close to the hotel (not on the same street) and we had to queue for a table. The food was not a traditional Japanese breakfast and in our opinion fairly poor. This was a shame as everything else about our stay had felt good quality.

Wonderful location; beautiful traditional street and surrounding area. Fairly close to the station, although with big rucksacks, the walk was a little difficult. We decided to get a taxi back to the station after our stay. The host was friendly and spoke good English. The room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The coffee and teas provided were good quality and appreciated. All toiletries were provided. The bathroom was lovely. Taking a bath was incredibly relaxing and calming. The soft PJs provided were so nice to wear in the room, we wished we could keep them. You are paying for the location and the little details with this hotel. It feels very traditional and has an overall relaxing feel. It's modern inside but has kept some traditional features so you get the best of both worlds.

We had a one night stay here before heading to Osaka. Check in was quick and pleasant and the receptionist was extremely helpful with answering our questions and organising an early taxi for us along with packing up bento box breakfasts for us for our onward journey. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the deep wooden bath was fabulous to soak in after a long day of sightseeing. Would definitely stay here again.

Everything was perfect about this hotel. The entire place smells amazing when you walk in, the staff was super nice without coming off "fake." The location was central to almost everything we did in Kyoto. The traditional Japanese bathroom was AMAZING after a long day of walking. All the amenities and facilities worked flawlessly.

Honestly, nothing!

Excellent location for a relaxing stay yet still within walking distance to the hustle and bustle. Very welcoming staff, Taku the manager was amazing and very helpful. He speaks excellent English. Lovely breakfast- traditional Japanese and western.
