This was the best hotel during our Japan trip. It was spacious, clean and had a tatami area. The full kitchen and balcony made our stay even more superb. It was also in a quiet area with walkable small local shops and cafes. Also a grocery store close by. It also did have a washer/dryer combo (note:was very hard to use and didn’t dry very well). Other than that, it was perfect!

Beautiful, clean, spacious room with comfy beds. Great water pressure in bath/ shower. Loved having washer/dryer in our room with laundry detergent included. Great location, 5 minute walk to Sanjo Keihan Subway station, walking distance to Gion and next to Lawson convenience store. Would definitely stay here again.

This property was traditional Japanese so if that’s what you’re looking for it is a great option. This location is also close to the subway and the downtown district putting it in a really good location. It is more of a townhouse type of a thing than a hotel since there is no restaurant or anything like that. The stove and washing machine was really confusing so I would recommend bringing a translator.

Loved the location, near the Sanjo metro was nice. The AC in the room was disastrously cold and couldn’t be adjusted to a temperature. So it was either on or off. And in the bedroom the air blew directly on your face. The cold felt good at 5pm when we came back to the hotel, but not so much shortly later.

Great, clean property. We liked that it was a 5-10 minute walk from tourist areas. It is located on a Main Street so our room could hear some traffic, but with so much walking, it certainly didn’t affect our sleep!

Minn was a great apartment hotel for our family of 3 with a 6 year old. Our family suite was spacious, very clean, and modern with a kitchen and appliances. We enjoyed reserving the private onsen with our family. No food or snacks available, but it was near a Lawson and FamilyMart. The location was also in a great walkable area with a few excellent restaurants within a few blocks, and away from the chaotic downtown. My only suggestion would be to have a full-time front desk receptionist; many times there was no one at the front desk and they preferred that you call/text them from the iPad. 100% would stay here again.

Everthing you need is either in the room or a few steps away. They have easy check in and out procedures in place and a nice 11 AM check out time. They also have a baggage holding room if you arrive early. The train station is only half a block away as well. If we come back this is where we'll be.
