I stayed in 3 hotels while in Japan and the Gimmond was the not only the most expensive one but also the one I liked the least ... Location is good, (walking distance 15min +/- to the Kyoto castle and other tourist areas). But I found the room a bit dated and i hated the bathroom, it was ugly, it... More

My first impression was disappointment. The room is small and just not very cool. But really, who needs cool when you have Kyoto outside your door? The hotel and our room had almost everything I need to make for a comfortable stay. The shower was warm with high pressure - better than mine at home! The tub was short but... More

I stayed one night in Gimmond and found it to be a clean and convenient stay. The staff was nice and the location pretty decent for sight seeing. Apart from that it was very average. It is a very neutral, business hotel, a place to sleep and nothing else. I got a cheap deal online - but would never pay... More

I stayed three nights at this hotel with my brother in February 2012. Our twin room was surprisingly large by Japanese standard. The staff speak very good English and even offered suggestions for getting around in Kyoto. The best way to get around is by bus, you can buy 1-day Kyoto bus passes from the reception for 500 yens each.... More

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
