Hotels With breakfast in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

"This hotel is in a great location nearly next to Nishiki Market. Around the hotel is very quiet. The room we received was facing the graveyard, I’m not sure why there are so many negatives reviews about it but we had no problems with it. No ****** visited us😋😅 The bed was very spacious but a little hard. The pillows were also quite hard so we woke up sore a few times… overall the room was very clean and amenities were available downstairs if needed like toothbrush or qtips. The staff were very kind and brought our luggage to our room before we arrived through luggage forwarding. After check out, they also allowed us to store it in the back for a few hours."

"I had a great stay at this hotel, especially as a manga fan. The room was clean, and I received fresh towels every day. Amenities such as toiletries could be picked up from the reception area, which was very convenient. The hotel also provides complimentary drinks 24/7, including water, coffee, and tea. There is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel with buses that go straight to Kyoto Station, and the nearest subway station is about a 10-minute walk away. The famous Nishiki Market is around a 20-25 minute walk from the hotel, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. There is also a convenience store right next to the hotel and a supermarket within a short walking distance, making it very easy to grab snacks, drinks, or anything else you might need. Popular attractions such as Nijō Castle and Kyoto Imperial Palace are also within walking distance. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto."

"Smile Hotel Kyoto Karasumagojo was a great budget-friendly stay in Kyoto. The location is excellent, right next to Gojo Station and within walking distance of Kyoto Station. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were clean, and the free coffee was a nice touch. Rooms are a bit small, but that’s common in Japan and still comfortable for a short stay. Overall, great value for money and I’d stay again."

"The facilities seem brand new and the hotel has a lot of character. However, the air conditioner's filter needs cleaning; it's already showing an overload warning. I hope the hotel sees this message. It would be perfect if breakfast was included."

"An excellent onsen hotel, I'd definitely come back if I have the chance. The room offers views of Kyoto Tower, and Kyoto Station is within walking distance. You have to take off your shoes upon entering the hotel. The room provides socks and a yukata in a basket. In the hot spring area, you can shower right at the entrance. On the first floor, there seem to be three indoor pools plus two large tubs, and one semi-outdoor one just outside. There's also another pool upstairs. After your bath, the changing area has hairdryers and toners, and the lounge area offers Yakult and ice cream. There are massage chairs in the hallway."

"We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. The rooms were larger than the usual mid range hotels in . They were clean and the usual amenities were provided. Another plus was the provision of complimentary beverages, biscuits and dashi in the afternoon until 1100pm. The hotel was rather far from Kyoto station - it was a 20 minute walk though there are a couple of smaller stations nearby. If you are up to walking a bit of a distance then this would be a good hotel choice Kyoto. We were very happy with this hotel and would consider coming back again."

"Modern design hotel that appeals to the younger crowd. Medium queen room was spacious and I could lay out my luggage case on the long bench. Don't expect nice views from the room as it will be facing other buildings. Room was on the darker side, as the interior design is mostly black and gray, and the lighting was minimal, so it is good for relaxing and not working. For breakfast, you can order 1 plate from ala carte menu, and there is a salad bar. Pretty simple but does the job. Location wise, it is closer to Gojo metro station than Shijo station. There is a metro exit with elevator so you can use that when carrying luggage. It is a longer walk to Shijo dori shopping street, so you may prefer to book a hotel closer to Shijo station / Hankyu Karasuma station if you want to be more central to the shopping area."

"Out of all the hotels I stayed at during this trip to Japan, the The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Umekoji, considering its location, room, breakfast, ambiance, and price, is definitely the best value for money in my opinion. First off, the location is truly excellent. The hotel is right next to Umekoji-Kyotonishi Station, just one stop from Kyoto Station on the JR line. When you're dragging luggage, this “almost right at the hotel once you get off the train” location is incredibly convenient. Even though it's not directly in Kyoto Station, I never felt the transportation was inconvenient; in fact, it was nicer to be away from the hustle and bustle of the station area. The hotel itself is located within the Umekoji Park area, and the surroundings are very pleasant. The Kyoto Railway Museum is right next door, and the Kyoto Aquarium isn't far, making it particularly suitable if you're traveling with kids. And here's a very interesting feature – trains. Many rooms directly face the railway, allowing you to watch various trains come and go from your window while lying in bed. For railway enthusiasts, this might be far more exciting than a regular city view room. Exploring temples in Kyoto during the day and then returning to your room at night to watch trains entering and leaving Kyoto Station is quite a unique experience offered by this hotel. The room itself was also quite satisfying. Hotel rooms in Japanese cities are generally on the smaller side, but the rooms here are comparatively spacious for a hotel of similar price in Japan. You can open your suitcase without feeling too cramped, and the bathroom is also generously sized, giving you plenty of space to shower comfortably. At first glance, the breakfast area didn't seem large, but after actually eating there, I found the layout to be very efficient. The counter space is utilized very well, and there's a wider variety of food than expected. The breakfast certainly doesn't feel skimpy just because the dining area isn't huge. For those who need a hearty meal before a day of sightseeing, it's perfectly adequate. There's also a small detail in the lobby that left a lasting impression on me: They actually have a 'Densha de GO!' train driving simulator! You can hop on and drive a train or two while checking in or waiting for others, which is especially great for families with kids, as it keeps them entertained during waits. Combined with the nearby Kyoto Railway Museum and the constantly passing trains outside the rooms, this hotel truly seems to have mastered the “railway element.” Additionally, there's a FamilyMart convenience store on the first floor of the hotel. Whether you need to buy drinks or snacks at night, or grab a few last-minute items in the morning, you don't have to go far. After traveling for over ten days, you realize that seemingly insignificant amenities like this are actually incredibly practical. If I had to find a flaw, I'd say its biggest “problem” is that it's easily underestimated. When you first look at the map, Umekoji-Kyotonishi might not seem like the most central location in Kyoto; but once you actually stay there, you realize Kyoto Station is just one stop away, the JR line is right at your doorstep, and the park, railway museum, and aquarium are all nearby. Plus, the rooms are more spacious than many hotels in central Kyoto. Paying a little less for a “prime location” premium actually results in a more comfortable stay. That's why, among all the hotels we stayed at during this Japan trip, I would rate this one as: The best value for money. If I come back to Kyoto in the future and the price is right, I would very likely stay here again. I especially recommend it for families with children, railway enthusiasts, and anyone planning to use the JR line for travel around Kyoto."

"I've stayed at this hotel twice now, and its location right inside Kyoto Station is incredibly convenient. You don't really hear any train noise either, which is great. The rooms and overall environment are excellent. My only minor complaint is that the front desk staff seemed a bit perfunctory."
