"This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a five-minute walk from the train station. It's far enough away from Nara's overly friendly deer that you don't have to worry about being bumped into or stepping in droppings. The hot springs here were our absolute favorite – so peaceful and comfortable, with friendly service. The restaurant recommendations from the front desk staff were a real treasure; every place they suggested was fantastic. Their breakfast spread was diverse and delicious, highly recommended!"

The staff were polite and attentive, and the location is a huge plus—it’s tucked into a convenient area of Kyoto with easy access to public transportation, making it simple to explore the city’s temples, shopping streets, and cultural spots. It felt like a perfect home base for seeing everything without being overwhelmed by crowds. The room itself was quiet, clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. While compact—as you might expect in Japan—it had everything I needed. Overall, a great balance of comfort, convenience, and warm hospitality. Great recommendation by Trip.com."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji
"Read before tou book. As seasoned and well-traveled guests, we rarely leave negative reviews, but this stay fell notably below expectations for a hotel of this category. The service, particularly in the kitchen, lacked both flexibility and hospitality. A very simple request—to add tomato and cheese to an omelette—was declined without even consulting the chef. This level of rigidity is surprising and not aligned with international hospitality standards. Equally disappointing was the decision to charge 30 yen for a basic photocopy. While the amount is negligible, the principle reflects a concerning lack of guest-oriented thinking at this price level. The breakfast offering was underwhelming, with limited variety and insufficient quantity—far from what one would expect from a hotel positioned in this segment. We would strongly caution against booking the Japanese-style rooms. They are exceptionally compact; once we opened two large and two small suitcases, the space became virtually unusable. Although the location is undeniably excellent, the overall experience does not justify the rate. There are far better alternatives in the same price range, particularly for travelers who value service quality and attention to detail."
Henn na Hotel Premier Nara
"The room was clean and tidy, though a bit small. It's very close to the subway station, making transportation super convenient for getting around. The hotel has an automated check-in system at the front desk. Overall, it's pretty good."
ASAI Kyoto Shijo
"Great location, excellent service. The staff spoke Thai, and breakfast was delicious!"
The Millennials Kyoto
"Every thing is good and i will come back again. Reception is good Toilet and bed are clean The room is as pictured The hotel also free beer from 5.30-6.30 but i can’t drink beer Location near public place"
THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC
Contemporary riverside rooms with modern dining, and convenient access to Kyoto’s historic sites and shopping streets.
KYOTO TOKYU HOTEL
"I would like to point out that the underground carpark is really an added advantage of this good hotel Besides the size is easy to park with lift direct access to room floor.. Returned again as it is indeed One of the best kyoto hotels stayed with excellcent breakfast, particularly the fresh-made toast."
RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto
Luxurious riverside rooms with multiple dining options, and elegant spaces ideal for families and leisure travellers.
Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo PREMIER
At the heart of Kyoto, near the former Imperial Palace, lies Sanjo Street—where history and modernity meet. Here, the spirit of hospitality lives on.
Dusit Thani Kyoto
Rooms are spacious, especially by Kyoto standards, and the beds are comfortable. The design leans into luxury with a distinct aesthetic.
Rhino Hotel Kyoto
"It was great! The staff were very friendly. The only downside is that you can't open the windows, and there was a lot of dust in the room."
Hotel Granvia Kyoto
"the location is at the Kyoto station and outside is a bus interchange to go to any resort"
Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel
Scenic lakeside rooms with panoramic views of Lake Biwa, pools, kid-friendly activities and easy access to the attractions of Otsu.
Urban Hotel Kyoto Nijo Premium
"The transportation is incredibly convenient; it's very close to the station and right by a subway entrance. There's also a shopping mall nearby. It offers great value for money and might even be quieter than areas closer to Kyoto Station."
Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kadensho (Kyoritsu Resort)【Reopening in 2026】
"The location is perfect, as only across the road from the Arashiyama station, even though no good view from the windows. It said that it is updated, but it is very tired place, seems that need a very good refurbishment. Only onsen was amazing, but again, super tired surroundings. It has some charm though. And reception does not speak English at all"
Keio Prelia Hotel Kyoto Karasuma-Gojo
"Close to 2 stations and a short walk away from the shopping district. Clean and modern rooms with public bath."
HOTEL ELCIENT KYOTO HACHIJOGUCHI
"Out of the four hotels I stayed at in Japan, this one was by far the best. 1. The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station, which is incredibly convenient for getting around. 2. It has its own large public bath, which was very relaxing and well-equipped. 3. The room was quite spacious, newly renovated with a very elegant color scheme, and right next to the elevator – loved it! 4. The self-check-in and self-check-out process was very convenient, and I felt completely at ease leaving my luggage with their secure password system. Overall, I was extremely satisfied, and the price was also very reasonable. Full marks!"
