Review for Gion Ryokan Karaku in Kyoto

I can't recommend this place highly enough! It's a great spot to stay! the staff is incredibly friendly and excellent. the location is fantastic, close to a variety of food options, a nearby temple, and Yasaka Shrine, making it central. Plus, the restaurant offers wonderful Japanese cuisine.

The location was stunning because it was very close to the restaurant district as well as Kyoto. Besides, the property was 3 km away from Abraj al Bait Mall Towers.

I really enjoyed supper friendly employees!

The setting of hotel was good and incredible, right in front of a beautiful shrine. The room was not only perfect, but reasonably spacious too, and had central heating, a work desk, and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels...

The location of this place is excellent, in one of the best areas, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful during my entire stay.

The hotel was incredibly beautiful and the location was favourable so close to sightseeing, almost all attractions and the Yasaka-Jinja shrine.

The venue met every demand and was fairly clean with very amiable staff. I loved the twin room and wouldn't mind staying there all day. the hotel had an incredible location, very close to the downtown district, and was next door to major tourist attractions and plenty of food options, as well as restaurants in town.

The food was excellent with a fantastic variety to choose from! Our location was stunning, right in front of a beautiful shrine. It was also conveniently near many dining options, including the restaurant district and various eateries in town.

The venue was pristine, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. the family room paired with the excellent public bathroom was a highlight. the hotel boasts an incredible location, just a stone's throw from Kiyomizu Temple and Yasaka Shrine, as well as being near major tourist attractions and a variety of dining options that suited our needs perfectly.

Great spot close to all the sights in the eastern part of town! 🏯 Set in a charming old building, it's just a short stroll away from Yasaka-Jinja shrine and the buzzing restaurant area.

The room was super spacious and clean, had its own bathroom, a fridge, a dining area, and a writing desk! 🌟

Booked a room here with a fantastic public bathroom, the location was amazing - very close to lots of temples, the restaurant area, many attractions, and downtown.

The superior room we stayed in was so cozy and chill. Our bathroom was top-notch, equipped with hair dryers, a bidet, and soft bath sheets. the hotel is conveniently situated right in the heart of the bustling area with great heating 🛁.

I recently stayed at a charming ryokan in the heart of Gion. My stay was for four nights, and I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful features of this hotel. The location is excellent, situated on a quiet side-street with easy access to bus stops and the Keihan railway. The spacious and comfortable rooms provided a cozy atmosphere. The hotel also boasts a large sentou, which was always clean and inviting. Additionally, the ryokan's proximity to downtown Gion allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local culture, exploring the streets lined with shops and restaurants. The breakfast served was delicious and varied, offering a delightful mix of traditional dishes and light options. Gion Ryokan Karaku provided an excellent stay, combining a serene setting with convenient amenities.

100% Recommend this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at a traditional ryokan in the heart of Gion. The location was perfect, with temples and beautiful streets to explore nearby. Our room was spacious and clean, with modern amenities. The staff went above and beyond, assisting us with our heavy luggage and providing umbrellas. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, and we slept better than at home. The bath was well-maintained and clean. We loved the quaint houses and shops in the neighborhood, and all the attractions were within walking distance. I highly recommend this ryokan for an authentic and enjoyable stay.

Although the rooms were comfortable, some of the furniture was old and scratched. The bathroom was small and narrow.

I really liked that this place was pretty and quite tidy. the room came with a yummy breakfast. the facilities were spotless. I had a fantastic time staying here! 🌟
