Great location close to Sanjo stayion, Gion area, Kamo river, all just a short walk around the corner. The room was spaceous, comfortable and clean and the hotel staff very nice and helpful, who also supported with receiving and sending our luggage from / to our next location.

Location, staff, beds, size of rooms, bathroom. All great quality and easily accessible. We really enjoyed our stay here, it was so easy to get to everything Kyoto has to offer. Sitting in our tiny Tokyo hotel room wishing we’d stayed at the Rinn Gion Shirakawa longer!

Everything was to our pleasure during the week we stayed at Cross Hotel in July 2023. Comfortable beds, a luxurious feel in large modern quiet rooms with a small fridge, good cleaning, extremely helpful reception staff. Complementary coffee in the reception area. Self-checkin worked fine with help from staff. The location is superb smack bang in the center of Kyoto. Sanjo station within short walking distance.

I loved it!

I loved it! Please get yourself to where the "Keage" subway station street entrance is. It is a 19th century brick structure. It took me a while to find the beginning of this walk--from Nanzen-Ji Temple > Kotoku-an > Nanzen-Ji Oku-no-in >Eikan-Do >Path of Philosophy >Honen-in then Ginkaku-Ji. This was a highlight of my month in Japan.

Going during the Sakura bloom is the best way to enjoy this...

Going during the Sakura bloom is the best way to enjoy this place. It can be packed of people, but the walk is long so you'll be able to enjoy it. You can see Koi fish in the river and there are some small local shops you should visit to get some food and/or souvenirs.
