This hotel is amazingly good. Gotten free room upgrade and the room is very big. There are nice gardens, sauna, gym and swimming pool in the hotel.
Had a pleasant stay and will definitely come back again if I am in Kyoto.

Ala Kyoto Hotel is superb! I stayed for my birthday and it was lovely - clean, great location (near to Kyoto station) and easy enough to get the bus to Gion (shopping area). The staff’s customer service was exceptional - went through extra lengths for my birthday and sorted out forwarding our luggage. The hotel’s laundry facilities were great, the gym was a little small but had what you really needed if you wanted to run/cycle/elliptical. I didn’t try the onset but imagine it was good! Nothing to complain, the rooms were lovely! - stayed in both the double and twin - lots of space in both (larger than most in Japan). Highly recommend, the prices are usually good but stayed during golden week, so the prices were inflated but still worth the money. 10/10.

Comfortable stay with an impressive terrace on roof top where you can chill out with the view of Kyoto while soaking your feet, so comfy! Bar time in the evening at the terrace. Small hot bath area yet peaceful ambience.
Small room but well equipped. They suggest to store the luggage under the bed but personally found that it isn't practical for big luggage. Otherwise the mattress is comfortable and the provided amenities are all fine for the stay.
Good location even department stores, shops, restaurants, public transportation, attractions, Gion and etc are in walking distance but still silent enough and I had a good stay here. Also taxi stop is just right in front of the hotel entrance.
Luggage can be store after check out but please check with the time for picking up with the staff.
Hotel was convenient, room was decent size too. If you are not comfortable with wearing their room slippers (they use a common slipper as there is a public bath), then I would suggest for you to bring your own slippers.

The landlord’s Chinese communication barrier-free environment: two floors, two bathrooms and one bathroom. The layout is very careful and the place is large. The tatami bed, kitchen and toilet facilities are complete, including hand sanitizer, seasonings, detergent, oven, Induction cooker, rice cooker. Transportation: The location is not very convenient. I only found it after walking through several alleys. I was still helped by a Japanese uncle. The positioning was not accurate enough. It is recommended that the host can draw a picture for the guests to make it more convenient. The family is very satisfied, the price is good, and the host also gave red wine!
The hotel's environment and rooms are very beautiful, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. Although there is no convenience store near the hotel, there are different drink options in the hotel. The dinner provided by the hotel is also good. The hotel staff understands English and their service attitude is very friendly, but The only drawback is that the tent room does not provide a separate bathroom
The environment is great, the location is great, right by the Uji River, all rooms are facing the river, and there is a small balcony to enjoy the view~ The room is very Japanese style, pure tatami, and the layout is very warm~ There are two hot springs, open-air and indoor, separated by time for men and women, both can be experienced, and there was no one there when I went~ The room has a small bathtub, but it is indeed not as good as going to a hot spring~ Matcha-flavored fruits and tea bags were given, and it was quite nourishing to make tea and eat something in the room~ In fact, there are few tourists staying in Uji, and the hotel is very quiet~ The name of the hotel seems to come from the Tale of Genji, the content of the Uji Ten Chapters~
I visited for a family trip. I made a reservation for a shuttle bus by phone, but it is quite far from the city center. It is quiet and the air is good, so I am satisfied. Dinner and breakfast were delicious.
I think the large bath and open-air bath are not bad. It smells a little like Lux. I was a little disappointed that there was no ice cream that was supposed to be given for free after bathing.
I made a reservation for a room with an open-air bath, and the atmosphere was very good and I was very satisfied. The bedding was clean and soft, so it was better than a bed. The staff was also friendly, which was nice. The location may be a pity, but if you think about the atmosphere of Shoenso, it is not crowded, so I would like to visit again.
Although the hotel is far away, the rooms are new and clean. The hotel is spacious and you can spread your suitcases equally. I will stay here again next time

Very Good
MMuffinnnThe hotel was much better than expected, very new and very clean. The view arranged this time was facing Ninsanezaka and downtown Kyoto, the view was very good. The breakfast was rich but not amazing. The service was also good, the staff was very patient, and asked if there were any food allergies when checking in. The only complaint was that it was a long uphill walk back to the hotel, so it was recommended to take a taxi when returning to the hotel

AAnonymous UserLocation wise just one stop from kyoto train station. Free flow drinks, private bath and public bath available. Midnight noodles & ice cream available from 9-11pm. Japanese course dinner served special menu from their chef. Buffet breakfast choices were a lot. Can store luggage before check in or after check out. Provide luggage transfer with some fees within kyoto area. Definitely worth to pay a visit to experience kyoto culture. 👍🏻

HHelen-sanfushuyuanThe moment I checked in, I was shocked by the simple room, the super small public toilet, the old bathhouse with old facilities, and the slightly musty old house. It was not until I was on the way back from visiting Rurikoin that I realized that I was living in a museum. When I opened the door, I met the smiling and friendly waiter again. The living room was already a picture of a happy United Nations banquet. Travelers from all over the world were eating hot Japanese hot pot at their respective tables, and they were once again infected by this warm, integrated, and family-like atmosphere. It is worth recommending to stay for one night (the sanitary conditions can still be overcome for one night), and the surrounding Sanzen-in Temple is also worth a visit!
GGuest UserAs usual, Hotel Monterey Kyoto provided superior service. My room was clean and spacious and I enjoyed the ocha and coffee provided. The water from the tap is not good though, so be sure to buy bottled water to drink and to make hot drinks.
Access to bus and subway is excellent making this my only place to stay when I go to Kyoto.
GGuest UserBeautiful view and delicious food. The picture shows breakfast, mostly vegetarian dishes, very healthy. The manager is very handsome. Check in at 3 pm, even half an hour earlier is not allowed, pay attention to the time arrangement. There are many fat koi in the courtyard outside the room, and they also let me feed the fish food, very happy 🥳
SSiu Wai LindaHotel location is good, Takashiyama department store is just cross the street.
It's a small hotel, and not easily found. On ground floor lobby, they will have a simple check of documents. Afterwards, a staff will bring us to 9th floor reception area for check in. We were served with a cup of tea and sweets while waiting. After the check in, another staff will escort us to have a tour around the hotel and our room.
Room is spacious with private Onsen. Though room's city view is fair only, the main selling point is the open-air onsen. The private open-air onsen is great and very comfortable.
The fridge in our room has many free drinks including wine and beer.
Unexpectedly, we could see the sunrise from our room. The Japanese breakfast is delicate and good. Everything is good except the bed mattress is too soft for us.
9th floor reception floor has a nice view, two public hot springs are located on this floor. This floor serves with free coffee and drinks and ice cream bars.
It’s surprising that besides the hotel front entrance, there is a secret side door, no need to pass through the lobby counter, like a private entrance with a sense of privilege.
GGuest UserGreen Rich Hotel Kyoto is located near Kujo, Kyoto Station. There is a bus stop at the door. It takes 15 minutes to walk from Kyoto Station. It is very convenient. The hotel is not expensive. The rooms are OK, not very small. Two rooms are booked, one on the 7th floor and the other on the 8th floor. Both sides are close to the road, but they don't honk when driving in Japan. This detail is really good, so the road is very quiet and you won't be woken up by the beeping. There is an artificial hot spring in the lobby on the first floor. It is very comfortable and you can soak there every day. The hotel front desk will tell you the time. It is a local Japanese-style hot spring. You can soak there directly, and you can't wear swimsuits. It is separated for men and women. The password for opening the door changes every day. Just ask the hotel for the password. The restaurant is also in the lobby on the first floor. It is very obvious and can be seen at a glance. The sky outside the room window is clean and bright. I will stay there next time.

KKC333We loved our stay at Hotel the Mitsui. Super nice and zen design . Absolutely adore their lobby area, which I think is designed by Andre Fu. Always drawn into his work somehow.
Breakfast food was okay, but the view really made up everything l. Super relaxing & beautiful
Service was great. Most of them were able to speak English proficiently.
There’s a thermal spring at their basement, which you have to call the reception before you go to ensure there’s enough space. Everything was well prepared, including swimwear, disposable underpants, towels, water, etc. Since they control the # of people, everyone has their own space and it still feels very private.
Room is nice with many details. Love their huge selection of pillows available for guests. It’s not huge, but the space is well used.
Location wise, I wouldn’t say it’s the most convenient, but if you take a cab, everything is reachable in 20 mins max, so it’s not too bad. There are still good restaurants and touristy places to go that are in walkable distance, so it’s not middle of nowhere.
Overall, fantastic experience which I will recommend for others!
