Lovely space

Spacious accommodation, location was mostly walkable. A little far with the heat but we managed to transport luggage. The check in was a little confusing, but had showed up when someone was at the front desk which helped expedite it. Can book the private onsen for family which was nice.

Great location and spacious!

The facility has a great quiet location, in walking distance to convenience stores, trains. about 3/4 mile walk to the main shops in Gion, the river walk and many shrines. The facility has a private spa room which was a great feature. We had a 1 bedroom with 2 sofa beds which were comfortable, the room was spacious and had a side patio. We speak English, limited Japanese and was able to communicate with the friendly staff.

Lovely hotel. Check in is all automated. Room was very comfortable although we had issues with the air conditioning not working and they moved us to one of the other locations nearby which was fine. Didn’t get a chance to use the onsen. Wish we had!

This was the best hotel during our Japan trip. It was spacious, clean and had a tatami area. The full kitchen and balcony made our stay even more superb. It was also in a quiet area with walkable small local shops and cafes. Also a grocery store close by. It also did have a washer/dryer combo (note:was very hard to use and didn’t dry very well). Other than that, it was perfect!

Loved the location, near the Sanjo metro was nice. The AC in the room was disastrously cold and couldn’t be adjusted to a temperature. So it was either on or off. And in the bedroom the air blew directly on your face. The cold felt good at 5pm when we came back to the hotel, but not so much shortly later.

From check in, spacious room (triple beds), washing machine in side the room, balcony, additional tatami space, locked up storage (before checkin till 17.00) to checkout via barcode, everything is highly efficient and very very bery easy. No human intervention needed at all. The only thing is road noise since our room is facing the road. You can literally hear some passerby's conversation and all the vehicle noise. But will definitely come back again. We love it!!!

Minn was a great apartment hotel for our family of 3 with a 6 year old. Our family suite was spacious, very clean, and modern with a kitchen and appliances. We enjoyed reserving the private onsen with our family. No food or snacks available, but it was near a Lawson and FamilyMart. The location was also in a great walkable area with a few excellent restaurants within a few blocks, and away from the chaotic downtown. My only suggestion would be to have a full-time front desk receptionist; many times there was no one at the front desk and they preferred that you call/text them from the iPad. 100% would stay here again.

This property was traditional Japanese so if that’s what you’re looking for it is a great option. This location is also close to the subway and the downtown district putting it in a really good location. It is more of a townhouse type of a thing than a hotel since there is no restaurant or anything like that. The stove and washing machine was really confusing so I would recommend bringing a translator.
