9.6/10 Exceptional! (32 reviews)

I definitely enjoyed my at the Rinn Horikawa Gojo, the room was very spacious for three people and everything was very clean. The staff was also very nice, helpful, and English friendly. The hotel also provided us to do laundry, which is definitely a plus. The location of the hotel is very convenient, there is a bus stop right in front of the entrance and a 7/11 just a few minutes away by walking. This hotel was also close by other places we were interested in exploring. If I am back in Kyoto I think I will stay here again!

8/10 Very Good! (11 reviews)

This hotel was so comfortable!! I stayed here with my husband and teen daughters in July 2025\. My kids were so excited to try sleeping on futons and tatami mats and this hotel did not disappoint. They were very comfortable. There was a coin wash nearby for laundry and the subway was a short walk away.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,573 reviews)

The room was quite old and worn looking. There was also a smell in the bathroom upon check in and throughout our stay, even though the room had been cleaned. Everything else was serviceable, but not special. Staff at the front desk were kind.
