Kyoto Gion U-BELL Hotel

The staff was great, very helpful and polite. The room was spacious and clean, and the coffee was really good. We sent bags to and from the hotel and it was smooth both ways. The location itself might not be suitable for families but we did not mind as it was in return close to many places we wanted to visit. Highly recommend.

The staff were excellent—friendly, welcoming, and with enough English to make communication easy. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning was much appreciated, especially during the warmer weather. The hotel's location is fantastic, with easy access to buses and many attractions and restaurants within walking distance, making it a great base for exploring the area. There is no room service or daily room cleaning, but this wasn't an issue as fresh towels were provided every day. The beds were comfortable, although the pillows were quite hard and may not suit everyone. The windows were blacked out and offered no view, but this wasn't a major concern given the price. Overall, this is great accommodation for the cost, offering clean, comfortable rooms and helpful service at excellent value.

Summer time the rooms got quite hot but the air-conditioning cooled the rooms down quickly.

I loved this hotel! The location is amazing, very close to the main area of Gion. Beautiful room, friendly staff and there's a Lawson directly opposite

Pillows - typical Japanese pillows filled with beans, my head and neck can't deal! Also, it was slightly difficult to find.

The location

The room and capsule bathroom were really small. Bit dated. Close walking distance to lots od great Gion streets. Lawsons across the road and Tulleys coffee shop at end of Street very convenient
