The private spa was nice for our family of 4. Front staff who checked us in was pleasant and helped book our spa. The hotel is in a convenient location. Room was so clean and decor was pretty! Loved that there was a washer/dryer in our suite, but we had some issues understanding how to use it since it was in Japanese. Other than that, our stay was quite lovely!

Everything was very easy and organized and all electronic. We did have a late check-in, but the staff member whom we called was very accommodating. Their rooms are very spacious and I especially loved how the toilet was separate from the shower and sink. The hotel room provided everything we needed and checkout was very easy. The location was great, right near a train station and down a Main Street filled with lots of food places and it’s right next to a family mart

We enjoyed how spacious the room was. There were 3 adults and we didn’t feel cramped. The full kitchen was nice to have but what I liked the most was the washer/dryer combo in our unit. I did at least 1 laundry per day and left to our next location with all clean clothes. The location of Minn Gion was great as well. We could get to Nishikarket

Stay away! Horrific check in process with poor automation, no one to help, only screens that connect you to a "live" operator via video chat that is often offline and useless when connected. I witnessed and experienced both several times,as did the half dozen guest in line before me and behind. When I finally got in the room, which I paid a fortune for an executive apartment, it smelled so foul from mold I requested to move. The black mold was heavily visible in both AC units amd was blowing throughout the apartment. They offered me a much more inferior room yet refused to price adjust. Untimately they moved me to a room that was still smaller than the one I prepaid for at a completely different hotel several blocks up the street. They still refused to provide a refund for the price difference and I essentially overpaid by several hundred dollars as a result. Expedia was of no assistance either. They refused to accept accountability despite the fact that I was in a materially different hotel and inferior room. They persist in requiring the property to issue a credit. The hotel itself was not even a hotel but a "serviced apartment." It was actually a very poorly serviced apartment, with sporadic staff, no ability to accept transported luggage or packages/deliveries. The place definitely has potential to be great but the way it is administered and operated is simply flawed. For the price point you are far better off at a traditional fully serviced hotel.

This was our best room while in Japan. As a couple traveling with a teen, the "superior apartment" provided us with a spacious bedroom separated from the living room/kitchen where our daughter slept on the couch which was almost as comfortable as real bed. The kitchen is well equipped and it even features a laundry washing/drying machine. The apartment is well located, the area is quiet but still within walking distance from the animated area of Gionbashi and the metro station. A Family Mart store is literally next door. We had trouble figuring out how to turn on the kitchen's induction stove one evening so we had to contact the staff through their virtual service desk. Someone was here to help us within minutes. Highly recommended.

Nice, large, well equipped hotel room. Room had a kitchen and was more spacious than other hotels I have stayed at in Japan. Location was well located in the Gion area in a quiet location but steps away from shops and restaurants, away from the very busy areas which I appreciated. Check in was fully virtual.

The Minn Gion is a very good choice. I gave it 4 stars becasue I am a hard marker. It is well located in the northern part of the Gion district but only 5 to 10 minutes walk due south to the heart of the district. Compact, clean rooms with kitchenette and amenities. While the on-site staff is hidden away, they are responsive. Anthing related to check-in and queries about the booking are handled virtually by video call in the lobby. No amenties such as food or drink in the lobby but small resturants, Lawsons, near by and Freshco grocery 7 minute walk. I do reccomend for those who like a house-keeping unit in a quiet neighbourhood and not much extra hotel amenities.

Great accommodation. Could not recommend it more highly. In quite a nice spot in Gion. Only a short walk to bustling areas and relatively quiet at night. Th e rooms are spacious enough for Japan standards. Hotel seems new and well thought out. Really enjoyed my stay. Would definitely stay here again.
