    The staff were very helpful and warm, the location is in Gion (right in the machiya historical section of Kyoto), the building itself is a several hundred year old machiya, very comfortable, and even has it's own shrine!

    As a solo traveller on a budget, this traditional ryokan was amazing to stay in. The location was perfect for all the popular attractions. The facilities were very clean.

    It was great! You can hear easily through the walls like any older building but everyone respected quiet hours. We were the furthest room from the bathroom so it was a bit tricky in the middle of night but other than that great!

    This was our third time at Gion Ryokan Q-beh (2018-2019-2025)! The perfect place to stay, because you are close to a lot of top sights! Q-beh is a real Ryokan and we had a dorm bed, because the rooms were fully booked. Also dorm beds are good...

    We were right in the cultural heart of Kyoto at Gion Ryokan Q-Beh. We were looking for a traditional tatami-style room with futon when we booked, and this hostel delivered. Very clean, respectful, quiet space, and the attending staff were very...

Property info

Our hostel is located in the historical district of 'Gion' area where 'maiko' walk around, and just a couple of minutes walk to some popular temples and shrines. So the surrounding area is very quiet, beautiful and calm. We don't provide any food service but there are a Japanese style tatami floor living room with fully-equipped kitchen. A dining area with table and chairs for those who are not yet attached to the Japanese style. Also an observation room where you can look over a Japanese garden on the third floor. ▲NOTICE▲ **Please note that we are "ryokan-style hostel" so we DO NOT PROVIDE any food service and we DO NOT HAVE a bath-tub/Onsen.** **Our hostel has preserved the beauty of the old buildings, so soundproofing is not perfect and there are no lifts/elevator. It is a great place to stay if you want to enjoy the old Japanese style of accommodation, but not for those who want to spend quiet time in their rooms.** **We are afraid that our hostel is not designed to accommodate big groups, so we might ask you to cancel reservations if you are a big group (we can only accommodate a group up to 4 people in our Mixed dormitory, up to 3 people in Female dormitory).** **We have a policy of limiting the length of stay at our hotel.** **We take only cash for the Kyoto City tax (200yen/guest/night) because we have to separate with your room fee payment. Kyoto City tax will rise from next year.** Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Gion Ryokan Q-beh
