Hotels in Kyoto

"The hotel is worth every penny. It's central close to Kyoto station with so many nice restaurants within walking distance. The room is big, always clean, has everything you need for a cosy, comfortable stay away from home. Highly recommended."

"This hotel is incredibly close to Kyoto Station (just a 5-minute walk, and very easy to find if you exit from the Central Gate), making it super convenient for getting around. There's a 7-Eleven conveniently located directly across the street, and plenty of great restaurants within a 10-minute walk. It's very clean and quiet, and laundry facilities are available. I stayed in a Kyoto Tower room, which had large windows (though they don't open) offering a great view of Kyoto Tower."

"Amazing experience. Some traditional japanese vibes mixed with westernized traits. It was our first time visiting a hotel with any resemblance to a traditional japanese hotel - this was a great entry point into this kind of experience. As is traditional, you are required to leave your shoes in the footlockers by the entrance. You walk around the hotel in socks / barefoot. In some spaces wooden shoes are provided (example: public toilet on the first floor, toilet in the hotel room), everywhere else is socks-only. The design is very traditionally looking, pleasing to the eyes. Breakfast offers a combination of japanese and western dishes in a buffet style - so if you want to try some traditional japanese food, but are afraid you won’t like it - you will still have plenty of options (I will add a photo as an example - in reality the list of options is much bigger both in both japanese and western cuisines). Onsen is great, works a long time (3pm-10am). We went there in the morning / day / evening — all times it was not too crowded, sometimes there were only a couple other people in there. The onsen are separate for men and women, so there is no need to check against any timetable (men hours / women hours, how some other hotels do it) - you can go any time when onsen is open. Location is great too — multiple subway stations are close, Kyoto Tower is in about 10 minutes of walking. Many restaurants nearby."

"Firstly, the location is superb. Kyoto Station is just a 10-minute walk away, and there are abundant dining options, convenience stores, Yodobashi Camera, and Don Quijote all within easy walking distance. Priced around 500, this established 5-star hotel offers rooms that are quite spacious by Japanese standards, providing incredible value for money. Free parking and EV charging stations are also available. They also have Chinese-speaking staff. The only minor imperfection was finding a hair on the bed, suggesting they could pay closer attention to detail in their cleaning."

"The surrounding area offers excellent attractions like the Kyoto International Manga Museum, the Museum of Kyoto, the impressive modern historical buildings along Sanjo-dori Street, various shopping areas, and ShinPuhKan. The breakfast was fantastic, with both Western and Japanese options available. Our room was impeccably clean, and the overall atmosphere was very pleasant. The hotel is situated approximately 80 meters down an alley from the main street, which ensures a wonderfully quiet and comfortable night's sleep. It's also conveniently close to Kyoto City Hall."

"The stay was wonderful. Location right infront of Kyoto station & local bus interchange. If you came late from Kansai airport by limousine. the limousine will stop at Kyoto Avanti 3-5min away from this hotel. If you join day tour, the pick up point is same at Limousine drop of point. Many 7/11 & restaurants around. The hotel look very new, room & bed was very comfortable and toilet was very clean. Hotel's staff front deck & housekeeping very polite. The coffee house open for free hot & cool beverages for guests from afternoon till 10pm. Will sure book this hotel if we visit Kyoto again."

"Excellent location, very good for commuting to other cities. Although hotel is practicaly between train tracks, rooms are almost soundproof, so good sleeping. Matress was bit hard but not a big problem. Breakfast is quite good, also some western dishes but fresh fruit was missing. Gym was not on site and would be appreciated. Hotel can store luggage free of charge."

"This is always my go-to hotel whenever I'm on a business trip to Kyoto. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and feature a huge TV. The location is incredibly convenient, with Kyoto Station right outside the hotel. Don Quijote (Donki) is just a stone's throw away, offering incredibly affordable prices and a vast selection of goods. Plus, you can enjoy tax-free shopping for purchases over 5,500 JPY. The room was free of any unpleasant odors. While there's a public bath on the 2nd floor, the in-room bathtub is almost as good, as it's incredibly spacious – I'd say two adults could comfortably sit in it. Waste separation follows the traditional three categories; just remember to peel off the labels from beverage bottles before putting them in the plastics bin. And finally, the air freshener – it's the best I've come across in any hotel. It lasts a long time and has a subtle, elegant fragrance."

"The location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk to the Shijo bus stop and 10 minutes to the subway station. With a FamilyMart conveniently located downstairs, all our breakfast and late-night snack needs were covered. This hotel offers great value for money. The room was quite spacious, featuring a king-size bed that comfortably accommodated two people. It also came with a small sofa and a table. I was particularly pleased with the ample hangers provided. A delightful surprise was the onsen (hot spring) bath; it was wonderfully relaxing to soak in it every evening after exploring. My only minor point of confusion was that while the room was tidied daily, the bed itself wasn't made. It would have been nice if they could at least straighten out the sheets a bit."

"We had a good stay there. The service is good. Room is clean. There are several shops and restaurants nearby. It’s about 8-10mins walk to the nearest subway station. 20-25mins walk to the market. The hotel provides tea, coffee and water at the reception. There are washing machines, ice machine and vending machines on the same floor. Their public bath is clean and good."
