StianTop notch hotel midt i Gion
Stort og pent rom, meget komfortabelt, og ikke minst veldig sentralt midt i Gion.
Anbefales, rimelig pris også!
JonatanThe rooms are amazing and big. Very friendly staff and in a great location. Will definitely stay here again.
ChrisWow! What a deal for the location. We were right in the heart of Gion. This place was a perfect location for us and we were able to stop back if needed something or a rest while exploring Gion. You are right by the bus…

Questions about Gion Shijo Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at Gion Shijo Hotel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Gion Shijo Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Does Gion Shijo Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Gion Shijo Hotel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Gion Shijo Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
