New Hotels in Kyoto

"The location is great, very close to Shijo Station, making it easy to get to attractions like Arashiyama. There are also many newly opened hair salons and several convenience stores nearby. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied! A special shout-out to the young lady who spoke Chinese; she was very smooth in explaining the room and the check-out process, and proactively refilled the coffee machine's beans and water. It was truly a stroke of luck for us, not knowing Japanese, to meet her! The hotel is new and very clean, and the hand soap is particularly good! Highly recommended~"

"The hotel was within walking distance from Kyoto Station. The room was compact but clean, and the facilities were sufficient. Since I was staying with a friend, having a separate bath and toilet was a huge plus. There were plenty of outlets, and the air conditioning could be adjusted freely. I'm not sure if there were other guests, but it was quiet at night, and the bed was comfortable, so I slept soundly. We could also easily reach all the tourist spots we wanted to visit from a nearby bus stop, so the location was great for transportation. If I have the chance, I'd like to stay here again and even for a few more days."

"The location is perfect for Kyoto, with bus and subway stops nearby. You can reach the historic area in just 30 minutes. The rooms are spacious, attractive, and modern, with plenty of space to hang clothes. There's complimentary coffee and tea available anytime. In the mornings, they offer a kind of included breakfast, which consists of artisanal pastries, and from around 5 PM to 7 PM, there's a tasting of various alcoholic beverages, including sake."

"In the Kyoto area, a per-person, per-night accommodation fee is charged separately upon arrival at the hotel. This hotel is part of the long-established Marriott brand. The rooms are on the smaller side but fully equipped. Thumbs up for the facial treatment kit – everything was clearly arranged (1/2/3/4). The bath salts were even made into effervescent tablets – a brilliant touch!"

"I chose this hotel after reading other reviews, and I definitely made the right choice. It's a hotel truly worth considering. It's extremely new and clean, and the overall feel is great. The beds are super comfortable, and the room is very spacious. The only downside is that the public bath is a bit small. The hotel's location is pretty convenient, but not very close to the train station. Walking to nearby attractions or the main shopping street takes about 10 to 20 minutes."

"📍Location: It has a 'quiet in the bustling city' vibe, nestled in a small alley off Karasuma Dori. It's very quiet, though the main entrance might be a bit tricky to find (you can navigate to the main branch of Takagi Coffee Shop, the hotel's front door is right opposite). It's about 300 meters from Karasuma Line Shijo Station Exit 6. Further afield, there are the Shijo Karasuma/Karasuma Matsubara bus stops, all within walking distance. 🏨Ambiance: The design is both quaint and a little charming. The lobby offers free coffee and tea. You can store your luggage for free on the day of check-in, and on the day of check-out, you can store it for free until 5 PM, after which a fee applies. 🚪Rooms: I booked two double rooms, but their sizes and layouts differed. We were given two rooms with different layouts: the couple stayed in a slightly larger room with a sealed window, while I, traveling alone, stayed in a slightly smaller room where I could open the window and enjoy the street view. The room was excellent, and the bed was very comfortable! The only minor drawbacks were a few small issues: (1) The mirror in my room faced the bed directly. If this bothers you, perhaps you can confirm with the front desk. (2) There were no tables in the rooms; you can ask the staff to borrow one. (3) The toothpaste in the dental kit was difficult to squeeze out; a small 3-gram tube barely lasted twice, and it wasn't replenished automatically after room cleaning, forcing me to ask the staff for more every night. Perhaps toiletries could be placed in the lobby for self-service? 💁♀️Service: Very nice! Most of the front desk staff seemed to be foreigners, and English communication was perfectly fine! On the first day, we arrived about 30 minutes early, and the staff helped us check in ahead of schedule. On the first night, I wanted to open the window for ventilation but couldn't close it, so I went downstairs to ask the staff for help. Additionally, the staff always smiled and greeted us whenever we entered or left the hotel. Before leaving, I asked for the names of the two staff members who had been consistently helpful, and I'd like to thank [Kyawt] and [Anjana] for their warm assistance over the past four days 🙏 (Please forgive any misspellings of names). In summary, I would still consider booking this hotel on my next visit to Kyoto. See you next time! PS: While writing this review, I realized I forgot to take photos of the hotel, so here are a few travel snapshots 📷"

"Location of the hotel is pretty convenient, with a 7/11 just right downstairs. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood but still walkable to Nishiki market with all the shopping street and to the nearest bus stop to travel out. Front office staff is friendly and helpful! We had a minor issue with cleanliness of the room, particularly the bed. As it was late at night, housekeeping wasn’t available so FO assisted to change the sheets for us. If you wish to have daily room makeover service, you’ll have to put the card on your room door. Housekeeping was a little disappointing as the room wasn’t made over properly. However, for the price and location, i think it’s value for money. Room size wise is decent and having separate shower cubicle and toilet is convenient."

"The hotel is conveniently located, within walking distance of the Shogun's castle, and all other attractions are easily accessible by bus. The room was clean, the beds comfortable, and the toiletries were high quality. The staff was polite. The only difficulty we encountered was when paying the Kyoto accommodation tax. The hotel doesn't accept cash at all, and Russian cards don't work abroad. This led to a bit of a deadlock, as the staff couldn't give us the key without the tax being paid. So, if you're from Russia and don't have a foreign card, keep this in mind. In our case, a kind man from Barcelona helped us out by paying with his card, and we gave him the cash. But standing at reception with luggage after a flight, waiting for a solution, is definitely not a pleasant experience."

"The location is super convenient, just a 5-minute walk from Gojo Karasuma Station, and then about a 10-minute walk to Daimaru department store where there are tons of shops and restaurants. The hotel is new and very clean. Although it's on the smaller side, it was perfect for one person! The lady at the front desk was very welcoming and patient during check-in. All the other staff members I encountered were also very friendly and always greeted me with a smile. Excellent service overall!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It's conveniently located just 100 meters from JR Kaihan Station, and the hotel has clearly recently been renovated. Everything is new and fresh—the rooms, the shower appliances, and the hair dryers are excellent, along with new plumbing and a washer/dryer. Hotel staff are almost always on hand throughout the day (unlike other companies), making it easy to check in and helping with any questions. We stayed in room 303, overlooking the river. The view from the window was beautiful. The pillows were a bit hard and unusual. The hotel offers a luggage storage room (although the hotel information says it doesn't)—it's convenient to leave suitcases if you arrive early. The location is great—it's close to the Gion district and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. It's an extremely convenient location. We booked rooms with good discounts, and I don't regret switching to Minn apartments just before our trip."
