We paid for a room with triple beds. It is spacious for Japan standard. But the 3rd bed is converted from a sofa and it is as hard as rock....I am not exaggerating......very very difficult to sleep on it especially for adult. I feel it is unfair to charge the room as triple room and the third person have to... More

I stayed in this hotel last december. We would have stayed in a cheaper place but because it was going to be cold, we decided to stay here. It was worth staying in this hotel. The hotel has really nice rooms with all the necessities. They had all kinds of equipments like AC, Humidifier, Air cleaner, Kettle, etc. We loved... More

I stayed at Gimmond for a whole week. The hotel is located is a very nice part of Kyoto and I could walk around after work and find nice Japanese restaurants where to have dinner. I recommend the Japanese restaurant of the hotel which serves interesting traditional breakfasts. The rooms are very small (approx. 8-10 square meters) but include all... More

We planned another trip to Japan and being prime autumn leaf viewing time I started to panic when searching many Kyoto Hotels and found them booked out. The trusty Gimmond Hotel where we had stayed before came to the rescue and we enjoyed the stay there again - the staff are always pleasant. Breakfast there is quite good too. It... More

OK, the rooms are small, and wi-fi is available only in the lobby, but that seems to be par for the course in Japan, so let's just go with it. The Hotel Gimmond is centrally located, with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The rooms are clean (though did I mention they're small?) and have wired internet, the staff are... More

Have been to Kyoto a few times and always looking for value. This is the first time I have stayed at the Gimmond and will definitely stay again. My single room was on the top floor - quiet from the traffic with side views along the main road. Rooms are very clean and internet use is free. I decided not... More

Fantastic location, about 3 mins walk from the nearest metro station. The staff was so helpful and the room was really big with sofa etc and clean. We actually tried the 2 restaurants in the hotel, one is italian and one is japanese. Both excellent and great value for money. It's an easy metro journey to Gion and the old... More

Like most rooms in Japan, Hotel Gimmond's room is pretty small. However, it is clean and pretty no-frills. Free internet (by cable), a cute flask to boil water to enjoy the complimentary green tea and a small capsule type toilet. Staffs were friendly - they have directions to the sights and are very helpful. The biggest plus of this hotel... More

Excellent position, 200m to the intersection of the two main Metro lines (Tozai and Karasuma). Warm and very helpful staff. There is a good restaurant close to the Hall, which can be helpful in case you just arrived and wanna eat something decent. Got a double room at 5° floor, very quiet and with a comfortable "occidental" bed. More
