Rinn Kyoto Station

Rinn Kyoto is an excellent spot honestly, 5 minutes from the station, 5 minutes from a beautiful temple, and you can walk down any side street in Kyoto and see some beautiful architecture. The staff were absolutely brilliant, in particular I needed assistance with a phone call one evening and there was a massive language barrier but a staff member talked and translated for me at reception. The hotel provides for many items you may need during your stay, such as bath salts (if you booked a room with a bad, we mistakenly did not and with the amount of walking you will do in Japan you absolutely need to soak your bones), razors, face creams, shower amenities/accessories, etc... The hotel is extremely clean and well kept, all amenities are easy to understand and well maintained. The only issue with cleaning we have was on the cleaning day our small bag of tickets from shrines and activities we were keeping was thrown away when we were gone out, but to be completely fair I can understand why it would have appeared to be trash. Overall we were very happy and would reccomend Rinn Kyoto for an affordable but exceptional service to anyone looking to stay in Kyoto. We stayed for 6 nights. The image added is of the closest temple to Rinn Kyoto Station.

The beds were very comfortable, which was fantastic. The apartment was a decent size (could have 2 large suitcases open on the floor at once and still have space to move about the room). The staff were so friendly and helpful. The location was also great - very close to the station, but still felt separate from the hubbub of the city.

The Rinn is about 2.5 blocks from the train station and our room was a quiet oasis away from all the hustle and bustle. We had room 1002 which is their biggest room and it was divine. I am traveling with my husband and 11 year old son; in this place we all had room it was the biggest hotel room I’ve ever had in Japan (third trip). There were lots of restaurants and convenience stores close by. The lobby was nice and had lots of bath amenities. We definitely took advantage of a nighty bath with epsom salts. The room was spotless and towel exchange and garbage were taken every day if we left the magnet on the door. There were 2 laundry machines and we did have to wait for them the hotel could have a few more for convenience. The beds were comfortable with nice sheets and duvet. We had a massive balcony but hardly used it. I would be happy to stay at the Rinn when I’m next in Kyoto.

Hotel staff were very helpful with sending and receiving luggage. Location was decently close to Kyoto station, plenty of convenience stores and dining options around. Room was spacious and clean. Check in and check out process were smooth. I would definitely book this hotel again.

This hotel was so well located, within a 5 minutes walk to Kyoto station and made it easy to get to most attractions. The room was very spacious, loved having a double sink, big shower and bathtub and the window overlooking the garden which was a nice space to relax after a long day of walking. This hotel was the most spacious out of all our Japan hotels. We also loved that there was a tatami mat section that was perfect for a futon for our son and also a dining area. Great amenities to choose from in the lobby. The staff were also so lovely and helpful and spoke English.
