A great place for our Kyōto stay. With a Family of 4, it was the most spacious accomodation of our 2 weeks Japan trip. Right in the heart of Gion. Plenty of restaurants nearby, washer/dryer. I highly recommend!

Yooree, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room we stayed was spacious and we had enough room for the 3 of us. Check in was an easy process through the app and the staff was helpful during the times they are designated to be there. We liked that the hotel had laundry onsite and we were 16mins walk distance from multiple cultural sites.

Great Room Great Location

Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Around the corner of train and bus. Walking distance of infinite dining options and shopping. So close to everything. Really clean and comfortable. And the rainfall shower head is the best ever. I’m gonna get one for my home. Five Stars.
Carlos, 4-night trip

Ideal location

Great location, Kyoto is very walkable from the Kabin. Windows don’t open, so can get a bit stuffy. Rooms are a good size for Japan

A great stay. In the heart of everything. This is a self service hotel - very new. There was some stains in the carpet, but overall clean. We had a spacious room for 5 people.

Would highly recommend KABIN and would go back to book the same place as well as other properties. Great staff communication as well as accessibility. Lots of room which is hard to find in Japan.
Emily, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I spent about 3 nights with these guys. I loved the location, the staff were helpful and friendly. Every thing was easy to get to including public transport to get to attractions further out. I wish I could be there right now, loved it!
Jason, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very large room by Japan standards, and incredibly clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The location is perfectly central in Gion while being just outside the area of nighttime noise. Perfect stay for the three of us with room to spare in one of their larger rooms.
