Hotels in Kyoto City Centre, 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.

The hotel is just one stop away from Kyoto JR Station; you step right out into it. There's also a bus stop right outside the entrance. It's very convenient for visiting attractions in Kyoto city. The whole place feels very new and modern. You're required to take off your shoes upon entering the hotel, and walking barefoot throughout the entire premises takes a bit of getting used to. They offer complimentary late-night noodles starting at 9:30 PM daily. In the mornings, there's unlimited Yakult, and in the evenings, free-flow ice pops. Both indoor and outdoor onsen (hot springs) are available. However, since Kyoto likely doesn't have volcanoes, the overall quality of the hot springs can't quite compare to similar hotels in areas like Hakone. P.S. This hotel belongs to the same management group as Mizunone, where I stayed in Hakone last year.

Friendly staff. Bus stop and train station nearby hotel. Quiet environment. The room is big and comfortable. Private lady spa available. Coin laundry available (peak time after 8pm). Rooftop has a very good view. Nearby fish market (only available for visitors to see auction between 5am to 8am) Meter parking (remember to ask the front desk for a parking voucher - max JPY1200 for a weekday; max JPY1800 for weekend ) close by hotel (within 5 minutes walking distance).

Very convenient location of the hotel, close to Kyoto train station, bus stop. The rooms are comfortable, there is a small wardrobe, a shelf by the bed, a small table. Next to the bed is a USB socket for charging a smartphone. Cleaning, clean towels and a set of home clothes (sweatshirt and trousers) every day. Excellent breakfasts, a large selection of delicious Japanese and European dishes.
