Our stay at gion sano was truly above and beyond every expectation. We have stayed at many hotels big and small all over the world and this was one of the friendliest, loveliest and most hospitable experience we have had to date. The staff in particular is so warm and generous in their hospitality. I would recommend this location to anyone visiting the Kyoto area.

I loved my stay here. The staff were so kind and friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, very clean, and had a great view of the mountains! On my last night I was treated to a Maiko performance with a Q and A session which was wonderful. They provided coffee and fruit here, and the location was excellent, near restaurants, Maruyama Park and the Yasaka Shrine. I would absolutely stay here on my next trip to Kyoto!

An amazing ryokan with top-notch hospitality. Situated in Gion we were in walking distance to many beautiful areas, shrines, and restaurants. My only regret was not staying in Kyoto longer.

Excellent area to stay in and above all, the service was absolutely exceptional. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming from the very beginning and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay went as smoothly as possible. They even provided us with snacks and treats during every day of our stay. We felt at home throughout the entire stay and would definitely plan to stay here again along with recommending it to friends and family whom intend to visit Kyoto.

A very traditional guesthouse with basic facilities. I wouldn’t fault it because service was good, room was clean and spacious but it’s too basic and tired looking for my liking. Good for people who wants a good location but on a budget.

I was in Kyoto for work and was only able to stay for 1 night. I wish I could have stayed for longer! Sano-san and the staff made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in the door. The room was beautiful with a nice view. The futon was clean and very comfortable. It was the best nights sleep that I had all week. It is not the fanciest place, but it is most certainly the most friendly and hospitable. They were VERY helpful with suggestions and helping with any directions that were needed. I look forward to staying here again when I come with my family. Thank you Kyoto Ryokan Gion Sano!!

I do not have enough words to express how much of an amazing experience it was to stay in Kyoto Ryokan Gion Sano. This is a small but beautiful ryokan, family run, and I felt as if I was home. It is perfectly located, minutes away from the main old town. The hosts went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, the room was really nice and clean, ryokan style, and with a real bonzai on my window!! They even organize a night show in the hotel with a Maiko, so we got an opportunity to interact with her, and ask her questions, which is quite exceptional in Kyoto. All in all, a fantastic experience.

Great place to explore Kyoto from. Close to metro, bus lines and right in the Gion area with all its charm. No meals are included but they provide fresh fruit and snacks. Very pleasant.

This little place is SO CUTE! The staff members are so nice - they brought me tea and snacks every day AND every time I would head out for the day, they would walk with me and open each of the doors and tell me "Itterasshai".
Also amazing location in Gion.

Superbly located in Gion so you can walk to many temples, etc. Very helpful owners, although they don't really speak English. Just be aware that they like to lock the doors at 11pm so this is not the place to stay if you like to stay out partying until late.
