Connect inn Gionbishamoncho

The location was amazing. It is super close to everything we wanted to do in Kyoto, but if we wanted to venture further away, there is a bus stop right around the corner. The inn had modern amenities and was very clean, but felt like a classic Japanese home. We enjoyed sleeping on mats in tatami rooms, and it was very comfortable. The host let us drop off our bags early and was very easy to communicate with. The only thing I would note is that it was tricky figuring out the automatic door lock, but we figured out we had to pull the door toward us to get it to lock when we were leaving. It was a great place to stay and we had a good amount of room for our group of 5!

Large property for our family of 4. Walking distance to many tourists spots. 24 hours Fresco market 5 minutes walk. Bus stop around the corner. Easy check in and out. I wish we can stay longer.

Great little house, close by to temples and parks with cherry blossoms. Great array of restaurants nearby.

The home was clean and had wifi. Despite previous reviews that there were a lack of cooking and washing up utensils, they will still insufficient and we had to source our own. Sadly, the property manager would not help us book a taxi from the accommodation to the station so we struggled with our suitcases on a main road for 25 minutes before we could get a taxi to accept our fare to the Shinkansen station. This is a narrow, more traditional property better suited to Japanese people than westerners.
