A great place for our Kyōto stay. With a Family of 4, it was the most spacious accomodation of our 2 weeks Japan trip. Right in the heart of Gion. Plenty of restaurants nearby, washer/dryer. I highly recommend!

A great stay. In the heart of everything. This is a self service hotel - very new. There was some stains in the carpet, but overall clean. We had a spacious room for 5 people.

I spent about 3 nights with these guys. I loved the location, the staff were helpful and friendly. Every thing was easy to get to including public transport to get to attractions further out. I wish I could be there right now, loved it!

Very large room by Japan standards, and incredibly clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The location is perfectly central in Gion while being just outside the area of nighttime noise. Perfect stay for the three of us with room to spare in one of their larger rooms.

We liked how small and lowkey this property is. It appears to be a newly converted hotel with only a few rooms across several floors. We only saw another guest once during our 5 night stay. The room itself was pretty basic and had two beds plus a sleeper sofa. We found some hair on the floor but overall the room was clean. Our favorite thing about the property was the location, as it is a 5 minute walk to public transit and there are several bars and restaurants right on the same street.

I had a problem with the check in and Riku the manager at the other Kabin hotel came in the bike to solve the problem very professionally and fast. I really appreciate the problem solving. Thank you!!

Brand new hotel, I think the paint was still drying when we checked in. It is a very modern hotel, self checkin through an app. Almost never anyone at the front desk. Hotel is immaculate and the room is spacious. Bathroom is great! Kyoto is a City where restaurant reservations are a must, so having a full time front desk would have been nice to help. For younger travelers this is probably perfect, but for older travelers it might be better to be in a more traditional hotel. Cannot beat the location, and there is a great takoyaki place across the street.

Overall it was a good stay. We chose this room so that we would have extra space. It was walking distance to temples, shrines, streets of Gion, and Nishiki Market. The things we didn’t like was no staff interaction. Check-in/check-out is all automated, so you don’t have staff to ask questions to. The windows of the room were frosted, so you couldn’t look outside and check the skies for the weather. Even though it was close to a subway station, the Keihan line didn’t travel directly to the places we wanted to go. We ended up using buses and taxis for our visit.

The room we stayed was spacious and we had enough room for the 3 of us. Check in was an easy process through the app and the staff was helpful during the times they are designated to be there. We liked that the hotel had laundry onsite and we were 16mins walk distance from multiple cultural sites.
