Beautiful, clean, spacious room with comfy beds. Great water pressure in bath/ shower. Loved having washer/dryer in our room with laundry detergent included. Great location, 5 minute walk to Sanjo Keihan Subway station, walking distance to Gion and next to Lawson convenience store. Would definitely stay here again.

Minn was a great apartment hotel for our family of 3 with a 6 year old. Our family suite was spacious, very clean, and modern with a kitchen and appliances. We enjoyed reserving the private onsen with our family. No food or snacks available, but it was near a Lawson and FamilyMart. The location was also in a great walkable area with a few excellent restaurants within a few blocks, and away from the chaotic downtown. My only suggestion would be to have a full-time front desk receptionist; many times there was no one at the front desk and they preferred that you call/text them from the iPad. 100% would stay here again.

This property was traditional Japanese so if that’s what you’re looking for it is a great option. This location is also close to the subway and the downtown district putting it in a really good location. It is more of a townhouse type of a thing than a hotel since there is no restaurant or anything like that. The stove and washing machine was really confusing so I would recommend bringing a translator.

They don’t have anyone at the front desk. You have to do a virtual check in. Very annoying after traveling for hours. You have to log in and scan QR codes. The room was nice. Private baths were extra.

Everthing you need is either in the room or a few steps away. They have easy check in and out procedures in place and a nice 11 AM check out time. They also have a baggage holding room if you arrive early. The train station is only half a block away as well. If we come back this is where we'll be.

The property was great. I loved that everything was automated. I could check in myself and didn't need a hotel key card (a pin was issued to me which I input into the doorkey of the room). The room was clean and spacious. The shower area was great with very hot water. Hotel was located in a superb location for all activities in Kyoto. I would stay here again.
