I stayed at Urban Hotel Kyoto Shijo Premium for two nights and had a really enjoyable experience. The room was very clean and well maintained, and the space was more generous than expected, making the stay comfortable and relaxing.
The pricing was very affordable for what was offered, especially considering the excellent facilities available. The public bath was a great way to unwind after a long day of sightseeing, and the gym and washing area were very convenient for travelers.
Service from the staff was excellent throughout my stay—friendly, professional, and always willing to help.
Overall, this was a fantastic stay and great value for money. I only wish my stay could have been longer, and I definitely hope to return again in the future.

My experience at Rhiga Royal Hotel was deeply disappointing. At hotels, I encountered many staffs (almost all) who appeared indifferent, cold, and emotionally detached. There were no smiles, no warmth, and no sense of welcome—only rigid, mechanical interactions. Despite paying a high price for accommodation, I felt like an inconvenience rather than a valued guest.
Japan was once famous worldwide for its exceptional service culture and gracious hospitality. Based on my recent experience, that reputation no longer holds true. What remains is efficiency without kindness, politeness without sincerity, and service stripped of human warmth.
This was not just disappointing—it was disheartening.
The hotel appears to be quite old and poorly maintained. The condition of the room shows clear signs of long-term wear and neglect. As shown in the photo, the door frame and lock area are visibly damaged, with peeling paint, cracked surfaces, and poorly repaired sections. This is not a minor cosmetic issue but a sign of aging infrastructure that has not been properly renovated. The overall atmosphere feels tired and neglected, and the property would greatly benefit from serious renovation and refurbishment.

Cozy hotel with spacious rooms, and great onsen with indoor and outdoor shared bath. Place is clean and has a nice vibe to it. Walking distance from Kyoto station, but that’s also the closest subway station which is not ideal. Hotel is really strict with checkout, I have moved out of room right after 11, and while closing the door I could already hear the phone ringing. Each extra hour cost 3300 yen, which I think is crazy when you compare to the room rate. Other than that hotel has washing units separated by genders, a lot of vending machines and restaurant that serves Sukiyaki/shabu-shabu

Conveniently located yet surprisingly quiet, the hotel staff were warm and professional. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was good and varied enough to satisfy both my son's and my own preferences. I would definitely choose this hotel again.

The room, while not large, was very well-designed. It was clean and hygienic, equipped with a small fridge and a safe, and the soundproofing was quite good. My room's orientation meant that the noise from motorbikes speeding down the main road at night wasn't much of an issue. The location is absolutely fantastic; you can drop off your shopping and head back out. There are 7-Eleven and FamilyMart convenience stores nearby, and directly opposite is the Bal department store. Just a short walk away, you'll find Uniqlo, Loft, Don Quijote, Takashimaya, and Nishiki Market... There are several bus stops for various routes nearby, and both Keihan and JR train stations aren't far. Plus, there are plenty of great restaurants. Overall, I highly recommend it. For those who are light sleepers, I'd suggest bringing an eye mask and earplugs.
This is my second time visiting Kyoto, and I opted for the Royal Garden Hotel Kyoto Nijo again. It's conveniently located with easy access to transport, and there are large supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The automated check-in and check-out process was also very smooth and convenient. On a hot day, being able to grab a cold drink at the lobby's beverage bar was a definite plus.

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 hotel is conveniently located very close to Kyoto Station, making it incredibly easy to access transportation and shopping, all within a 10-minute walk. The room itself was quite spacious, equipped with a sofa, coffee table, and a desk, and a kettle was also provided. The entire hotel was very clean. The lobby felt grand and upscale, and the front desk staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

My family enjoyed our stay at Daiwa Roynet Terrace Kyoto Hotel. We booked 1 twin room and 1 triple room for 2 nights. We highly recommend this hotel of the following.
Location- 3 minutes walk from Kyoto station, Nouhi bus stop,convenient to travel to other parts of Japan either by train or bus. There are a few shopping malls nearby and there is a 7 eleven store on the 1st level of the hotel.
The hotel staff provide very excellent service. They even assist us to arrange for the delivery of our luggage to another hotel stay.
Breakfast is good and there is a variety of food to choose from, traditional and western food.
It is a new hotel and very clean. There is a wide range of amenities from the hotel lobby that we can pick up.

The room was spotless and well-equipped, though the space was quite limited. The staff were truly considerate; I wasn't sure how to sort the fruit, yogurt, and instant noodle packaging from my child's meal, and a hotel employee simply handed me a trash bag and offered to take care of it. For breakfast at the restaurant, the steak was my favorite, and my child enjoyed it too.

Very Good
GGuest UserThe room was quite spacious, about 20 square meters, so there was plenty of space to lay out luggage without any worries. The bathroom was also a good size with a separate wet and dry area. However, I didn't use the shower there as I went to the large public bath on the 9th floor instead. Soaking in it was a great way to relieve the fatigue of a day of travel. The hotel is conveniently located right next to a bus stop, offering easy access to places like the National Museum, Ichiran Ramen (Shijo branch), and Shinshindo Bakery (Shijo branch).
XXingfudeyanyanI was extremely satisfied with my stay this time. The room was prepared exactly as I requested, which I really appreciated. My room included executive lounge access, offering snacks, drinks, coffee, tea, and alcohol – a great place to sit and relax. The room facilities were meticulously maintained, and all appliances were quiet. My only minor complaint was the hairdryer, which was a bit old-fashioned and took a long time to dry my hair. The hotel staff, including the front desk and shuttle service, were exceptionally professional, very considerate, and provided excellent, personalized service. The shuttle bus stop at Kyoto Station is located behind the station, near the Hachijo East Exit, in the area where taxis and buses pick up passengers. It runs conveniently from 8 AM to 8:30 PM. You can see the exact location in my last two photos.
IiamnotdelicateThe basic room type isn't in the main building; you have to walk up to the main building each time to have breakfast or soak in the onsen (hot spring). And it's not a real onsen; my friend's superior room was the real onsen. We were given a small room at the back of the hotel, but thankfully there weren't too many graves.
When I asked the staff at the entrance to take photos for me, they were very reluctant and had a sour face. At night, on my way back to my room from my friend's, the receptionist on duty in the lobby was also very rude. Overall, I was dissatisfied with the service.
The facilities are excellent, very new, and the hotel is quite small, but that's typical for Japanese hotels. The decor is also very nice; the aesthetics are on point.
There are at least three cemeteries and a bunch of shrines nearby; bring some amulets if you like.
GGuest UserThis hotel boasts an excellent location, being just a block away from the base of Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Gion is also easily accessible with about a 20-minute walk. The hotel is immaculately clean, and the soundproofing is superb; even with a live band playing in the lobby, we couldn't hear any noise from our room. The staff were all incredibly courteous and polite. Breakfast is a combination of à la carte and buffet, and the Western breakfast options were quite good. Overall, a fantastic experience.
GGuest UserThe hotel is incredibly close to Kyoto Station, with Exit 5 offering the most convenient access. The room was very quiet and cleaned daily. While disposable toiletries are not provided, there are plenty of USB charging ports. It's also very near Isetan and Yodobashi Camera. Getting to the airport, though it involves passing through Kyoto Station, is also very convenient.

KKuailedexiaoyaojingwxgThe location is the biggest advantage, right inside the JR train station. Kyoto Theater is downstairs from the hotel. Across the street is Isetan, and downstairs is the Porta shopping mall, which has countless dining options. In front of the station, there are taxi and bus stops. Behind the station are various long-distance bus terminals and hotel shuttle stops, as well as the airport shuttle station. The entire commercial area is well-designed, and the hotel is perfectly situated within it. The room size is generous, allowing 2-3 large suitcases to be laid flat. The bathroom features a wet/dry separation, and the toilet has its own private space. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit.
GGuest UserOnline hotel bookings can often feel like a blind box draw, but Dusit Thani was definitely the right pick. Every staff member I encountered had an excellent attitude, the room was spotless, and even though the turndown service only provided a bottle of water, it was a pleasant and thoughtful touch. Thai brands truly excel in their service consciousness and aesthetic sense. The room itself was incredibly comfortable, and with no other guests in the public lobby areas, I thoroughly enjoyed the bliss of reading a book alone.

Gglow28Extremely convenient location. Hotel 3F connected to the department store. Department store lift to B1 connected to Hankyu railway to Osaka. Easy to find taxi outside of the hotel. Many restaurants around the area.
The room is big in Japan standard. Our room has a cozy sofa corner. The shower and deep bathtub is great for relaxation.
The hotel breakfast is also nice and offer a great selection of food.
Extended check out time cost 2000yen per hr. It allows flexibility.
