  Spacious room and amazing location - plus great price!

  29 Jun 2025

  We stayed here for 5 nights. The location is incredible (I highly recommend you go to the awesome sushi joint right near the hotel). The hotel is tucked away from the craziness of the main streets, so we got such restful sleep. The actual room was large, the beds were comfy and we had no complaints. Front desk has a ton of great toiletries like lotion, face wash, face oil, face lotion, razers, hair brushes, teas, coffees etc. They also had a ton of guides and info for the area, and arranged our luggage transfer from the hotel to Tokyo - even helping us fill the form out. The traditional japanese breakfast was good, although, like others mentioned the breakfast room could use an update because it felt like a break room. The interior of the hotel was really pretty as well. This hotel was a fraction of the others in the area, and we are super super happy with our stay. I was a little nervous because it only had a 4/5 on google, but we we're more than happy with our stay. It was our favorite hotel in Japan. The hotel was also close to the train station which made it convenient. We took a taxi to/from Kyoto Station which was super cheap on the Go app, so we did not have to worry about getting luggage around. You can easily get from Kyoto station to the hotel on public transport, but we opted not to and are glad because bumpy streets and luggage just don't sound fun. Front desk staff was really great and we truly enjoyed our stay. We would 100% stay again and highly recommend this budget friendly hotel.

  Biggest pleasant surprise in a hotel in Japan ever

  24 Apr 2024

  Wow! Just wow! This was the biggest surprise I've ever had from a hotel stay. I'd booked the deluxe twin room and was expecting a small room like everywhere else in Japan. But I walked in to discover a very spacious room, HUGE bathroom with a very large tub and separate shower area, and most surprising of all... my own private sauna!The hotel is located in the heart of Gion, but once you are in the hotel it is a serene quiet setting where you don't hear any noise from outside. They have so many toiletries in front of the lifts for you to take up to your room, including face wash, skin lotion, moisturiser and many more. Cleaning is done every 2-3 days but they will give you clean towels and yukata every day, rubbish bins can also be emptied every day, plus they give you 2L of bottled water every day. Breakfast is Japanese style only, which I have no problem with. It's a set where you get fish, egg, pickled veg, rice and miso soup. This doesn't really change much day by day so for long stay it does get repetitive. This might be my only grouse with staying here, as I was staying 7 nights. Overall I couldn't be more impressed with hotel Sasarindou and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Gion, as for the price I paid I got so much. It is by far the best value I ever had from any hotel stay in Japan. A true gem!

  Sweet hotel.

  30 May 2019

  Stayed here for four nights with a group tour. Staff delightful and very helpful. Rooms nice size for Japan, with a huge wet area for bath and shower. This hotel is so well located with just a short stroll to massive shopping area, and to the Gion district. Plenty of restaurants to choose from. Breakfasts were a bit ordinary sitting in an enclosed room on plastic chairs and tables, and food cold. Coffee good though, but a short walk away is a Starbucks for the coffee die hards. Nice stay, staff make it extra nice. Little gift on departure, which is always a nice gesture.

  Watm, homely traditional Japanese hotel

  06 Aug 2018

  Located in the most lovely area in Kyoto, the hotel was a homely and very warm welcome to Japan. A traditional and simple Japanese style room equipped with everything. Breakfast served every morning was delicious Japanese style breakfast. The room also had it's own sauna and jacuzzi which was an interesting surprise. Would love to go back to here.

  Old style hotel with good location

  02 Jul 2018

  Stay for 3 nights at this hotel. The staff is very friendly and speak little english but he is willing to help you. Room is clean and small but still enough space to open 2 luggages. Anyway out bathroom is quite big with normal size bathtub, a Japan style shower where you can sit down and pour water from top and still have more space to a person lay down, which they dont squeeze everything in a small area. The light is yellow and quite dark to me. They even have a video tape player in room which is super old school, and remind me abt The Ring ( maybe there is a videotape already there). Location is super good, jus walk abt less than 5 minutes then you reach Gion. Afterall, this hotel is a good choice for couples with affordable price.
