Hotels With Bars in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

Good location just behind Kyoto Station. Very convenient for shopping, eating and traveling around. I can see bullet trains passing from my window but it’s still quiet.

Initially, I worried the room might be cramped when booking, but upon checking in, I found there was ample space to open my luggage. There was even a thoughtful sign suggesting we could slide our suitcases under the bed for more room. The hangers in our room were conveniently located right by a window that could be partially opened, which was perfect as clothes I washed would dry overnight. I really enjoyed their breakfast. It featured miso soup, rice, and even sashimi, which was a welcome change from typical Western breakfast spreads and perfect for a Chinese palate. A noteworthy perk is that the hotel offers complimentary hot and cold beverages like tea and coffee every afternoon. Additionally, during certain hours, they provide a selection of wines and nuts, functioning almost like a complimentary bar. The best part is, it's all completely free! After a day of sightseeing, returning to the hotel, we always made it a habit to grab a drink there before heading back to our room.

Big thank you to Sayako - perfect check in customer service - friendly and warm. Also thank you to the hotel and team for making it a memorable trip for myself and my parents. They remembered it was my mum’s birthday and prepared swan towels and during lunch prepared a happy birthday message on the dessert (do not have photo on this phone). Really appreciate the thoughtfulness. And thank you for upgrading my room to better view. Good: - Service was exceptional for my stay. - Location as others have mentioned is one of the best hotels in Kyoto - near the station you get off from Osaka - outside cherry blossom canal - near shopping - brought my suit for friends wedding day before just 5 mins away - Room size is good and clean - chair was stained but they replaced it when I mentioned it. - Espresso machine - under appreciated by other hotels but big hit with my dad - very nice touch - TV had screen casting from phone Nothing bad to really say just below points for travellers. - Paid over 10k HKD for 3 nights - to be expected at cherry blossom peak season - Have to ensure you are above 6F for a good view - Foot steps above for my particular room (end room 3 beds) was noticeably bad - hotel really needs to fix this - The shower bath door need to install feature to turn it opaque - 3 beds is usually family and showering is awkward with glass window - No spa or pool. The amenities in the hotel are lacking.

Facilities: The facilities were excellent; my wife was so impressed with the bathroom design that she wants to replicate it at home. Cleanliness: Housekeeping service was superb. Ambiance: The hotel features its own garden, though it's not very large. Service: Very good. When my wife needed assistance during her period, they provided it promptly with just one phone call. And when we stained the sheets, they replaced them all immediately. Natural Hot Spring: Excellent! No photography is allowed inside. The facilities are separate for men and women, with modern soaking pools. Realistically, you'd only soak for about half an hour, and it's free! Personal care products are provided. For several days afterwards, we actually just went to the hot spring to shower because it was so convenient and well-equipped. Overall, because we extended our stay for another two nights, the additional room we booked wasn't as good as our initial one in terms of size and facilities (it was peak season, and better rooms were unavailable due to our poor initial planning).

The hotel's location isn't ideal; its primary convenience is its proximity to public transport. You'll need to take a bus to reach most places, including Kyoto Station, despite a nearby bus stop. Breakfast was abundant but lacked flavor. Upon check-in, we were assigned an older room on the second floor and had to request a room change due to the extremely noisy bathroom exhaust fan. The gym charges a fee for each use, and the public bath, though clean, is quite small. Housekeeping could be more flexible; for our four-night stay, the room was only cleaned on the fourth day. Cleaning on the third day would have been much more practical. Furthermore, breakfast required selecting a fixed time slot with a voucher.

We were fortunate to receive a complimentary upgrade to the Higashiyama Terrace Suite, which made our stay even more memorable. The hotel blends modern design with sustainability, offering thoughtful eco-friendly amenities such as body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and room slippers. The mini-bar, stocked with daily aluminum bottles of water, glass bottles of orange juice, and cans of beer, was a nice touch. Breakfast and evening canapés were good, though the lack of menu variety after a few days led to some monotony. One point of confusion was the sleepwear tucked away in the pullout drawers, which we only discovered after check-out. Additionally, while the hotel clearly values sustainability, it wasn’t clear that bathrobes wouldn’t be replaced during the stay. We left a soiled robe on the floor, only to find it hung back up without being changed, which felt a bit off. Overall, the stay was enjoyable, and we appreciated the hotel’s efforts toward sustainability and modern comfort. A little more clarity on certain policies and menu variety would have made the experience even better.

This was the cheapest hotel I booked in Japan, costing just over 200 [currency unit] on a weekday. I didn't have high expectations, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The hotel is conveniently located very close to Gojo Station and has a modern feel overall. There's a bar and restaurant on the ground floor. Check-in was almost entirely automated, which was quite a novel experience. The front desk staff spoke good English, and I noticed a fair number of international guests. The room, for Japan, was not small and was very clean; two people could comfortably open two suitcases without an issue. The bathroom was large with excellent wet/dry separation, and the sink was conveniently located outside, making it easy for two people to use simultaneously. There were plenty of charging ports, a TV, and the complimentary water was also good. We had a very enjoyable two-day stay in Kyoto!

The hotel boasts a convenient location, providing a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle, with easy access to all major attractions.

This is my third visit to Kyoto, and having always stayed near Nishi Honganji Temple, I can confidently say this is the best hotel I've experienced so far in the area. I stayed here for four consecutive nights this time, and my overall experience was excellent. The breakfast spread was extensive, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It seemed to attract a lot of Western guests, and they offer a convenient shuttle service to Kyoto Station. I felt it offered excellent value for money, and I highly recommend it. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit.

It is a little out of the busy Kyoto city area, which we like as we are travelling with 2 seniors and 2 toddlers (age below 3). The hotel staffs are friendly and helpful and equipped with refillable water facilities and a private onsen for hotel guests.
