About
Rinn Kiyomizu Gojo - Kyoto
Rinn Kiyomizu Gojo is a modest 18-room property tucked into a small alley in Kyoto's Miyagawasuji district. Guests consistently note its convenience: it is about a 2-minute walk from Kiyomizu-Gojo Station and within a 10-minute walk of the Higashiyama district, making it a practical base for exploring the city's historic sights. The hotel sits near Sanjusangendo Temple, roughly 0.9 km away.
Rooms are described as clean, spacious, and well-equipped for the price. Each comes with a washing machine, electric kettle, tea and coffee facilities, and a flat-screen TV. Several room types also include a bathtub, air conditioning, and heating. The small scale means a quieter, more personal stay, but also fewer on-site facilities—there is no restaurant, and breakfast options nearby are limited.

8.2Verified guest“The hotel sits in a small alley, which can be noisy when rolling luggage, but the neighborhood has charm. Breakfast places nearby are scarce. The room itself was clean, spacious, and practical, with a washing machine and microwave. Location was very convenient for sightseeing and metro access.”

Despite being central, it stayed quiet at night, which was great. The room was well-designed and spacious with all essentials. Great value overall.”
