Kyoto Brighton Hotel
4.6/566 Reviews

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

Kyoto|2.26km from Shimogamo Jinja
Located a few minutes walk to the Imperial Palace is this hotel. This area is considered to be a ”quiet zone” so there is a minimal commercial activity. There are very few restaurants and the closest convenience stores are a block or two away. If you ever watched movies like Die Hard or In the Line of Fire, you remember scenes in a hotel with a large indoor atrium with glass elevators. All the room doors face the open atrium. That is exactly what the design of this hotel is like. All the amenities are on the ground floor or below. As for the rooms. For Japan, these rooms are quite large. It would be comfortable for international visitors who are used to larger rooms. The amenities are not branded but of higher quality. There are three areas for parking. Ground level, basement, and outdoor. While checkout is at noon, you get complimentary parking until 3 pm. We choose this hotel for this feature. Allows you to spend the day exploring without worrying about the expensive street parking costs. There is a taxi stand with taxis until about 10 pm. There are five restaurants, be fair warned, all are quite pricy. There are two breakfast options. If you want a traditional Japanese breakfast, you go to the Japanese restaurant Hotaru. If you want a ”western” breakfast, there is a buffet at the Terrace restaurant. We were not interested in seeing the nightlife but wanted to be close to the Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle. This hotel was perfect for our needs. Would recommend without hesitation.

The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection

Kyoto|2.79km from Shimogamo Jinja
Just stayed 2 nights in a club twin and a club king room. First the positives - 1. The rooms - for a oldish hotel and a round one at that, the room was outstanding - it was spacious and i don't mean spacious by Japanese standards but really by any international one. The rooms looked pristine - i don't know if they did some renovations during covid but it did not look in the least worn. The bathtub was great and the room looked out to some nice greenery and trees. The sheets was really nicely made - taut and smooth just as it should be and the bed comfy. Adequate outlets. 2. The lounge is a nice respite with it's nice vantage looking out to a nice pond and garden. The staff were very friendly and explained about the macha tea. Dinner choice was reasonable with about 5 choices of food and plenty on alcohol to choose from. 3. Just opposite hotel is the conference centre (which is why i stayed at Prince) and the subway. 4. The area surrounding is green and peaceful and lush. One of my colleagues even saw a deer at night near the hotel. Now the not so good. 1. It's not near any shopping or restaurants (unless you count the cafe in the conference centre). There is a McDonalds about 8 minutes walk away (if you walk a bit briskly) and a Daiso about 15-20 minutes walk. Some other small restaurants within 10 minutes walk. 2. The hotel restaurants - they are not exactly family friendly in their fare. Set meals more for formal dining. Given the paucity of very nearby restaurants, the hotel could consider increasing the repertoire of simple kid friendly food. Strange how none of the restaurants offer this but some choices available from room service i.e. spaghetti. My daughter ended up with room service and me trekking to Mcdonalds to supplement her meal choice. I had trouble with Uber Eats or that's an option too. 2. Breakfast is a bit forgettable - i had the buffet one day - not quite befitting a Marriott Autograph hotel standard. I tried the western set another day - it was really quite nice but staff a bit inflexible. My daughter liked the bread so i asked for more only for the ultraman no sign to be invoked and the reply that they were out of stock (i guess that's their diplomatic way of saying you only get your one basket of bread and that's it. So I'm giving the hotel a 4/5. Nonetheless, there are enough positives to make me want to come back in future
The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto

The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto

Kyoto|2.79km from Shimogamo Jinja
This Ritz-Carlton location sitting on Kamogawa and Hagashiyama mountains, is one of the best locations to stay in Kyoto. The architecture is gorgeous on every level as you enter the hotel. You feel transported to a particular place that you will never forget. In addition, the quality of service the Ladies and Gentlemen provides goes above and beyond any other Ritz-Carlton location. Staying at the Kamogawa Executive Suite was an unforgettable experience. Approximately 1350 sq. ft., the suite provides luxury accommodations that exceed the highest expectations of any guest. The bathroom is gorgeous, especially the bathtub, where the wall and bathtub are decorated with sakura flowers. The bed is comfortable, and the living room is quite spacious. One thing I would have loved to see inside this room is a Genkan to place shoes as you enter the suite. Preserving the floor and rug is necessary and educates foreign guests about the importance of doing this. Another aspect that I loved about this place was Mizuki. Every morning I visited it for a Japanese-style breakfast, and it was a fantastic experience. In addition, I went to one of their sushi demonstrations and felt that I had a lifetime supply of sushi. Every bite was delicious, and the chef went above and beyond to make every guest feel special. Please make reservations for kaiseki, tempura, teppanyaki, and of course, sushi during your stay in advance. The spa is also a must if you are staying in this location. It is one of my most relaxing experiences, and the facilities are excellent. As you enter the spa, all the details regarding the walk to the counter or attendant, the changing room, and the pool area are planned quite well, so the guest can feel extra special and disconnected from reality. Finally, I must recognize the Ladies and Gentlemen's hard work and dedication at the Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto. Thank Ana and Naoto, for your friendly welcome to the hotel and making things possible during my stay. Chef Tomohiro Goda and his team provided an experience I will never forget at Mizuki. Naoki was friendly and helpful as I researched information. Pablo and Thain were attentive to my needs as I left the hotel and provided a great experience as I checked out. Special thanks to Carlos for leading such a fantastic Ritz-Carlton property in Japan and consideration prior to my stay. This is one of the top Ritz-Carlton properties I have stayed in, out of 25 Ritz-Carlton. I will cherish all the memories that I gained from this place and will make sure to come back in the future.

Kyoto Kaede Hotel Kamogawa
4.2/550 Reviews
2nd time this time. Anyway, it's calm, clean and convenient. I recommend that you stay overnight. There is a mini kitchen in the room, so you can cook simple meals. Cooking utensils and seasonings can be borrowed freely in the kitchen next to the front desk, so there is no other convenient hotel like this. Even if you eat around and think you don't need dinner, if you're hungry in the middle of the night. You can buy ingredients at a nearby supermarket and make a lot of soup. For those who are not satisfied with instant ramen, please try it. I think that it is also good for lodging for students taking exams. Three people can stay in a Japanese-style room, so it is also suitable for accompanying family members. It was very quiet, bright, and more convenient and comfortable than I expected. Only part of the scenery can be seen from the window, and the point is lowered because it is not located at the front desk, but other than that, there is no problem. When I contacted them when I was in trouble, I got a reply immediately. Recommended.
Pension Kitashirakawa
3.6/59 Reviews
There are two single beds as big, with separate bathroom. The room is very clean. One person is definitely enough. The boss has a rule to open at 7 in the morning and close at 10:30 in the evening. If you want to have a nightlife, be careful. It is very close to the starting point of the philosophy of philosophy.
KKR Kyoto Kuniso
3.9/56 Reviews
Asahikawa view & Onsen Bathing Bath& Open-air Bath & I stayed for a consecutive night because it was called transfer. 1 I stayed for a night and used alone, and the Japanese room (Asahikawa side) was 5000 yen and the western room twin (Asahikawa side) was 6000 yen, so if this price is ★4 I think I can put it. The room is in the year, and the cleaning is round and sweeping ... But Higashiyama Renfeng & Asahikawa view is a great view, and the view from the lounge in the garden of the historic Yuangu residence is also nice. The public bath is small, but the inn with an open-air bath in the middle of the city of Kyoto is rare and ... You can go out of the garden to the Asahikawa River in 10 seconds, so it is a very good location for walking. I recommend it to those who are happy with such added value, but it depends on the price. We always stayed overnight because we always suppressed the inn and the meal was a famous shop in Kyoto, but the lunch in the lounge was not bad. By the way, there is a bakery where affordable restaurants and bread lovers gather around, and convenience stores are nearby, so I didn't have any trouble with morning and evening even if I stayed overnight.
