Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Gion Misen enjoys a fantastic location, placing you within easy reach of attractions like Nishiki Market and Yasaka Shrine, as well as subway stations. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some even preferring the top-floor rooms with sloped dark wood ceilings and excellent shower setups; however, a few guests have noted that some rooms can be small. The communal lounge area is a plus, and the hotel is generally quiet despite being in the heart of Gion, with a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.
