Hotel Keihan Kyoto Ekiminami
"I've been staying at this hotel for five consecutive days, and I'm satisfied with everything. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Kyoto."
Ala Hotel Kyoto
"Third time to Kyoto but somehow first time chancing upon this hotel. Very convenient location, about 5 mins walk to Kyoto station. Personally didn’t try the hot spring as I had an injury, hope to try it one day. Breakfast was yummy, lots of options but similar dishes daily. Didn’t get to try everything as I’m not really a breakfast person. Love the vibe, it was so cozy I didnt want to leave. Really love that they use shower break pola range too!! Definitely will be back to stay again!"
The OneFive Kyoto Shijo
"The first impression of the hotel was good, but things went downhill quickly. When I entered my room, I found food stains on the panel behind the bed, long hair on the bathroom floor, and a used toilet with paper still inside. I asked the receptionist for cleaning, but the cleaning staff had already left for the day. He offered me another room, but it had visibly worn-out and broken furniture, damaged doors, and exposed cables. I decided instead to have my original room cleaned the next morning. When the receptionist came to check the room, he walked all over the bathroom and even into the shower with his street shoes. I was shocked and told him I did not want anyone walking with shoes in the bathroom or shower area where I’d be barefoot. His response was dismissive—he insisted it was hotel policy to walk with shoes anywhere in the room. Instead of apologizing, he acted cocky and refused to acknowledge the issue. The location was okay, but overall, the cleanliness and staff attitude were unacceptable. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this hotel."
The Hedistar Hotel Kyoto Nijo Comic&Books
"The property was close to bus stops, train station and convenience store."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji
