Hidden Gem
This hotel is a gem. This was our second stay here and we would go back again in a heartbeat. Beautiful interior with many small crafted architectural details, hand made pottery, etc. Excellent and helpful service, great Japanese style breakfast, comfortable rooms, and the Gion neighborhood is just magical.

Goin Misen was a bit of Old Kyoto. Our room had a Japanese garden outside main window. The entire staff was excellent in their desire to assist us. Very quiet surroundings. I will recommend this hotel to family and friends traveling to Kyoto. We will definitely stay here again!! Our appreciation to all the staff!

Wow - what a great hotel! Beautiful rooms, lots of attention to detail. Everything was perfect and what a location- right in the heart of gion and a street away from the river. The bath tub / bathroom were my favourite in Japan

Safe, beautiful location on a quiet street but close to everything. Clean, comfortable, and quiet room with good amenities. Coffee, tea, ginger ale, and fridge provided. A 7-11 just around the corner, which we used for breakfast and many other items (including Pokémon cards for my son!). Couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay in Kyoto.
