Hotels With Bars in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

I chose this hotel primarily for its excellent location, directly across the road from Kyoto Station, which made getting around incredibly convenient! Secondly, the hotel service was absolutely top-notch. Whether it was at check-in or with room service, the staff were enthusiastic and patient – truly the best service I've experienced in Kyoto! Although the hotel is a bit older, the rooms were clean and hygienic, offering great value for money. When you factor in the service quality and location, its age is almost negligible. I've stayed at hotels near Kyoto Station multiple times, and this one has been the most satisfying overall! I stayed for four consecutive days, visiting all the popular spots in Kyoto. Whether taking the bus or subway, or heading to 7-Eleven or the AEON next door, everything was just a 5-minute walk away! It's quite suitable for family trips too.

Reasonable priced hostel during new year eve next to kimono temple. Cleanliness in toilet, bathroom and basin area is acceptable but can be improved. My bed is upper bed and the space is way too narrow to get up there( see photo attached) I saw the lower bed were not fully occupied, it could have arranged another bed actually. The bed cubicle is open on top so you can see the next adjacent bed, there’s a pipe on top on the bed. 4 floors sharing shower rooms located at 2nd floor, kitchen and common area are quite cramped with baggage storage, used towels etc. Alright for a night stay.

This is also a Mitsui Garden Hotel, but unlike the typical 'Japanese' style I usually associate with them, it's much more modern. The public areas are excellent, and the steam room and sauna are definite highlights! They also maintain that modern aesthetic. All the showers are stand-up. The decor and material quality in the rooms and on the guest floors are a bit subpar and overly simplistic. Because the 'base color' is so dark, it tends to show dust bunnies more easily (not necessarily dirty, but it doesn't look good) 😂. The bed, however, is comfortable, and the curtains are great at blocking out light (though it's a shame the windows don't open, I just wanted some fresh air). The TV is high-definition, but its use is limited if you're out all day. The hotel is conveniently located near a bus stop, making it easy to get to attractions like Kiyomizu-dera and Eikan-do. It's actually not far from Shijo and Kyoto Station; on a nice day, you could easily walk, but if it's cold, judge your own stamina. The Gojo subway station entrance, right outside, isn't very friendly for those with large luggage as there's no elevator. Overall, the hotel service deserves a thumbs-up. The front desk staff, both male and female, speak good English and are very friendly and proactive in offering assistance. I noticed a larger number of Western guests during my stay. Just a heads-up: room trash is only collected every two days.

Environment: The location is excellent. Right outside the hotel, there are three streets, and a 2-minute walk to the left takes you to ”Kamo River,” while a 1-minute walk to the right leads to the bustling ”Nishiki Market.” Cleanliness: Very good, cleaned daily. The bedding is soft and comfortable, perfect for a good night's sleep. Facilities: The facilities are relatively new and well-maintained. Food: The breakfast offers a wide variety of options, and Japanese cuisine is very healthy, allowing you to combine dishes to your liking. There are also numerous restaurants with international and various local cuisines nearby, giving you plenty of choices. Service: What impressed me the most was the incredibly warm service. During this trip, I unfortunately lost my passport one day on the way to a scenic spot. When I returned to the hotel and explained the situation to the front desk, two service staff members (Ms. Tokieda and Ms. Ogawa) asked me about all the places I had visited that day (all subway and bus stations). They immediately called each station, and after 20 minutes of effort, they miraculously found my passport. I was truly touched by their help on the spot. I want to thank them and the hotel again for their excellent service. When traveling, unexpected incidents can happen, especially in an environment where you don't speak the language, but outstanding service can truly make you feel warm and cared for.

The hotel's location is great, and the rooms are clean and spacious. They offer free parking, and the breakfast selection is quite good and tasty. It's very convenient, as most attractions are within a few kilometers. There are also many yakitori and yakiniku restaurants nearby, and an Aeon supermarket is just a few hundred meters away. The hotel even provides a shuttle bus to JR Isetan department store. This hotel offers excellent value for money; the free parking alone saves you about 100 yuan a day. Highly recommended!

Facilities: Very new. Cleanliness: Very good. Breakfast: Stayed for three days and had the same breakfast every single day 🤦‍♀️. Location: Very convenient. The room has a washing machine which is super handy. Lots of places to eat and shop nearby.

My stay was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable, but the hotel's greatest advantage is its prime location right next to the Central Station, making travel incredibly convenient. The breakfast offered a fantastic variety, and the staff was both friendly and highly professional. I would highly recommend this hotel.

The room was new, but the location was a bit inconvenient. It's a 15-minute walk (over a kilometer) from Kyoto Station, and you need to take a bus to Kawaramachi. The service wasn't particularly warm. There's a large public bath on the upper floor that was rarely crowded. For under 800 RMB, it's probably acceptable.

The location of the hotel was good, near to the Jujo subway station, exit 3. The carpet was an eyesore, thought it was dirty but was told it was due to some cleaning products. The hotel has the potential to improve its overall service such as offering guests with early check-in hours (one or two hours prior to the standard time); offering some refreshments or water for guest while waiting for check-in; and ensuring that rooms are clean at all time.

The hotel's location is super convenient, with a bus stop nearby making travel a breeze. It's only a few stops from Kyoto Station, and you can get there in under 10 minutes by bus. The family room was great, especially having an extra small bed. There's a FamilyMart convenience store right across the street, and a cafe and breakfast spot downstairs. We tried breakfast both at the hotel and at a nearby place.
