Comfortable, quiet and close to some lovely parts of Kyoto. There is an 11pm curfew to get into the building though so not idea if you want to stay out past 11pm. The parking was confusing but once we knew where it was it was great. Very convenient and plenty of parking spaces. It is part of the Buddhist temple so offers a unique morning ceremony if that’s of interest. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Amazing to be able to stay at this famous temple and attend an early morning Buddhist service. The hotel was extremely clean, with a simple onsen, and a great location to explore the east side of Kyoto.

What a wonderful experience! The location is perfect, secluded within the chion-in temple grounds away from the busy main touristy streets, but close enough to walk out to all the food, shops, and sightseeing spots. The hotel is very welcoming and tranquil, the rooms are spacious and beds were comfy. The staff were helpful and friendly. The on-site onsen was immaculate, so clean and relaxing, not busy at all. We were able to participate in the morning Buddhist ceremony which was truly enlightening to immerse yourself into first thing in the morning to set you off for a lovely day. We rented bikes and they gave us passes to park on the side of the hotel for free. We look forward to coming back to this hotel in the future with no hesitation! Thank you!

Location, location, location. You won’t go wrong with this hotel. Located just a few minutes from beautiful temples and shrines. Gion, the tea house and Geisha district is so close. Service is outstanding however don’t expect fluent English speaking staff as in most of Japan. You will have the option to attend an early Buddhist ceremony (free), I highly recommend it if you are on tourism (all religions are welcomed).

Great location, very quiet, next to beautiful temple of Chion-in, yet super close to everything, in particular busy Gion district. The hotel has a curfew at 11pm, which did not bother me but is not very convenient if you want to enjoy a later evening out.

知恩院さんの宿坊をいつかは利用してみたいなと漠然と思っていましたが、今回宿泊をさせていただき、とてもよかったです。スタッフの方の対応は親切で、また立地がとても良いこと、駐車場もあり、朝のお勤めも参加をさせていただきました。とても気持ちよく過ごすことができました。また利用させていただきたいです。 浴室がすこし匂う、また部屋にあるドライヤーの場所がよくわからずということがあったので、頑張って探さなくてもドライヤー（もしくは何かのアイテム）を見つけ出せるとよいなと思いました。
