"We thoroughly enjoy the authentic experience and hospitality at Ishibekoji MUAN.
Would highly recommend to other looking for the traditional old town vibe, with close proximity to all the attractions."
"This was the best hotel we stayed at in Japan. It was brand new and the design was so stylish. A boutique, luxury hotel. The room was amazing - spacious, luxurious and airy with great views over Kyoto to the hills. Such a pleasure to relax in and come back to after our days out in Kyoto. The metro and train station was steps away which made it easy to get around and also to leave for Osaka.
The main street into downtown Kyoto from Gion was also steps away but because the hotel is on a side...
"Easily one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in, we didn’t want to leave. Spacious, beautiful appointed, sauna, oxygen spa bath. Spotlessly clean with helpful fabulous staff. Convenient laundry facilities. Small traditional restaurants in the streets and alleyways made for some great cultural / gastronomical experiences. Great work Gion Elite Terrace "
"Excellent place to stay in Gion. Really nice location, convenient. Attentive staff but they will not get in your way. Nice bathroom with a Japanese-style shower and tub area. Very clean and nice amenities. Although no breakfast provided, they provide suggestions and a convenience store is right across the street."
"Clean room with many amenities. Beautiful natural wood bath. Staff was phenomenal. The food was excellent. This stay has been the highlight of our trip. "
"This is listed as a 3 star hotel. It is not. It is the most luxurious hotel we’ve stayed at, including 5 star properties. The room was amazing. The location was perfect. Although everyone in Japan seems extraordinarily nice, the staff here beat even that standard. There was not one second of our time at this property that wasn’t perfect. 10/10. "
"The shower was soooo nice and the bed was super comfortable. The hotel was very spacious as well. Everything felt extremely clean and peaceful. Would HIGHLY recommend this hotel. Also loved the quaint little gym. Had the basics which is great on vacation. "
"Amazing hotel with so many perks. We felt pampered from the moment we arrived. If you can afford the Bettei section of the hotel, I highly recommend it. "
"We had an amazing stay at SOWAKA in Kyoto - the team at the hotel were incredibly helpful & welcoming throughout our stay.
The hotel is stunning & perfectly located in the most historic & traditional part of Kyoto - literally a few steps away from a beautiful temple.
We would definitely recommend the Japanese breakfast option & the team in the restaurant were incredibly attentive and accommodating of my wife’s dietary requirements - nothing was too much trouble.
An amazing experience from...
"This property is very well maintained. At the same time that it provides you a high level comfort and service, it is boutique hotel with personal attention . Great staff , great location in Gion Kyoto"
