Hotel 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.

Hotel is well designed, clean and comfortable at premium location. Breakfast is difficult to reserve if it’s not included in the booking package. Takashimaya - department store is cross the street where you could find delicious quality foods at less than 1/2 of prices comparing to Nishiki Market or resturant. Highly recommended.

We couldn't have stayed in a more amazing hotel while in Kyoto. From the first moment we stepped in, we were greeted with hospitality. Every staff member we encountered was respectful and extremely helpful.
Our room was well appointed and had more amenities than we could use. Not to mention, the private in room onsen. This was the whole reason we chose this hotel and it did not disappoint. The water was refreshing and you could really feel the healing effects.
As for the meals that the hotel provides... I must say both the Japanese set and Western set breakfasts were delightful and had many options. The fresh ingredients and the diligence of the dining staff were impeccable. We felt truly valued as guests.
It is safe to say that I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to stay in Kyoto. We most certainly will be back!

We reserve the rooms with in-room onsen facility. The room is big and clean. Not only in-room onsen but also other room facilities are wonderful. The platform roof with beverage service is a also good place to enjoy the view of Kyoto.

🇯🇵I found my favorite hot spring hotel in my favorite Kyoto!
.
📍Location: Just across the street from Takashimaya in Shijo Kawaramachi, there is a Hankyu train to Umeda downstairs, and the Kamogawa River is behind. It beats many Ultra Luxury Hotels in terms of location.
.
🧺Facilities: The villa has a separate check-in, elevator and Rooftop Lounge (all-day happy hour and foot bath) overlooking the Kamogawa River. There is a natural hot spring private bath (also public bath) and a terrace sofa in the room, which is very chill! The guest room is equipped with Bose speakers and a wide range of mini bars.
.
🏨Service: After checking in separately, there will be a special person to lead the hotel tour to introduce the various facilities and services in the public area and guest room. It is so thoughtful! The only thing that is not happy is that the package in the Ctrip live broadcast room clearly states that it includes a delayed refund, but the hotel refuses to admit it. I hope that in the future, the details of business cooperation will be strengthened to communicate and not cause unnecessary trouble to consumers.

The room is very good. You can take a hot spring bath in the room. The scenery outside the window is also very good. I will choose this hotel next time I come to Kyoto. The receptionist is also very enthusiastic. The location is very convenient, just opposite Takashimaya

The service is first-class. When you arrive, there will be a dedicated person to introduce the service and room. The private hot spring in the room operates 24 hours a day, so you can enjoy the hot spring all the time. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to the metro. Can I park my car at the oasis tower parking lot opposite the hotel? There are many restaurants and shopping places nearby. I will choose this hotel again next time.

My husband and I have been to Kyoto many times and stayed in various luxury hotels, but the Kyoto Bettei at the Sora-niwa Terrace this time is definitely our favorite and most satisfying one! Although the room rate is nearly 6,000 per night, it is worth the money. If it weren’t for the fact that the bed was a little too soft and not elastic enough, it would almost be a full score💯
The hotel is in an extremely advantageous location, with subways and trains nearby, small rivers and large rivers within easy reach, and beautiful scenery;
The room has a private hot spring in Shijo Kawaramachi, which is extremely rare in a hotel in the city center, and the hot spring water quality is excellent. After taking a bath every day, I feel that my skin and body are in great condition;
The service is first-class, the front desk guy is handsome and gentle, not only carefully and thoughtfully explaining all the details, but also recommending several particularly delicious restaurants for us (we have almost tasted them, great!)
The hotel room is spacious and very comfortable, making us almost reluctant to go out... There is a warm outdoor terrace overlooking Kiyomizu Temple, a TV that can be projected, and a refrigerator full of snacks and various drinks for free...
What surprised us most is that the hotel has a "secret exit" only for guests. From here, you don't need to go through the front desk and go directly to the nearby streets. Every time you walk, you feel like you are on a "Roman Holiday".
I strongly recommend friends who come to Kyoto to stay here. We will definitely choose this place again next time we come.
