Rinn Gion Shirakawa

It was very clean, incredibly conveniently located, and we loved the staff that worked out. They were absolutely phenomenal so friendly, so thoughtful and kind and unbelievably helpful.

Honestly, the only negative were some of the other guests at the hotel who did not respect the rules

I have stayed a number of times at Rinn Gion Shirakawa and for me it is an excellent location. The rooms are attractive and comfortable and the staff is very pleasant.

I wish they had space to offer breakfast - or an arrangement with a nearby bar - as there is no where in the immediate neighbourhood.

Struttura in ottima posizione per raggiungere i principali punti di interesse e fornita di molti ristoranti e locali nelle vicinanze. Camera pulita e molto spaziosa e dotata di molti comfort, inclusi bollitore (pulito, cosa non sempre scontata) e macchina del caffè con cialde Nespresso; bagno a sua volta grande con ottimo kit di cortesia. Staff molto gentile e sempre a disposizione per ogni necessità.

Purtroppo in camera persisteva un odore di fumo, nonostante la presenza di climatizzazione e di deumidificazione, che abbiamo parzialmente risolto arieggiando la stanza aprendo le finestre.

Good location. Lovely, quiet Gion area. Spacious room. 5-10 minute walk to 2 metro lines. 7-11 across the street.

Wanted a balcony room on the river. After booking non-refundable reservation, received a message that room was on 1st floor with no view. Also, bait and switch, room rate went up 50%. Neither Booking.com nor hotel would let me cancel when I called within 10 minutes. Hotel staff unable to recommend a nice kaiseki restaurant because "we only eat in casual restaurants." Certainly not worth the price point. One washer constantly in use. Was told I could go to their sister property 10 minutes away. Room was a bit dinged up.
