Hotels With Spa in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

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.

The biggest drawback was the size of the room for the price we paid. We could not even open our suitcases on the floor. There is no water in your room, you have to go downstairs to have a drink of water. Do not have breakfast there, it's too expensive (if you cannot eat everything) . There is a supermarket (LIFE) a few meters away with a very nice bakery. The hotel do however have all the toiletries available next to reception counter. Also coffee in the mornings from 6.30am with water and juice. A sauna and a hot pool, but you have to be in your *************. Not suitable for everyone. I enjoyed our bathroom the most, as the shower was amazing.

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.

The hotel is conveniently located right by Kyoto Station, very close by, with two convenience stores downstairs. Transportation is a breeze. The front desk service was excellent; both luggage storage and check-in went smoothly. Some front desk staff can speak Chinese. The room size is decent. My 28-inch suitcase, when fully opened in the entrance hallway, left no room to walk. However, the room facilities are complete and comfortable. The hotel has a public bath (onsen). You can wear/bring the yukata and towels provided in your room and go there in your room slippers. The onsen is divided into male and female baths. At the entrance, there are vending machines and manga available for reading. There's a designated area to take off your shoes, with shoe lockers and combination lock shoe lockers, along with instructions on how to use them. The male bath has one large hot pool, one small cold pool, and another small pool. There's a wall with washbasins and a dry sauna room. The hot pool's water temperature was fine, and the water was clean as it's a circulating pool. The overall hotel style is simple, with a reasonable layout and complete facilities. Self check-in/check-out, vending machines, self-service washing machines, and self-service ice makers are all available.

Fantastic hotel a short walk from Kyoto station. Normally I'd advise against purchasing hotel breakfast in favour of finding your own options for cheaper/flexibility to suit your schedule, however the Japanese style breakfast buffet was impressive in variety and taste. Just make sure you get in early as wait times are long in the morning. Onsen facilities are fairly large with multiple pools + sauna. Free ice cream and drink machines were a nice plus. Our room had a persistent high pitched sound coming from the ventilation system (that can't be switched off), but eventually got used to it.

The hotel service was excellent, and the premises were spotlessly clean. Its location was also very convenient for travel. I particularly enjoyed the artificial carbonated bath, which was very clean and great for relieving travel fatigue; even the toiletries were from premium brands. This stay also included a complimentary trial size of Decorté serum, which was a lovely bonus. The hotel staff were incredibly patient and helpful with all my inquiries. Furthermore, they provide washing machines, a thoughtful convenience for travelers, and vending machines are available on almost every floor. I would definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit to Kyoto.

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.

The hotel completely exceeded my expectations and added many wonderful memories to my trip. Facilities: Everything is relatively new, and I noticed it's very accessible for people with disabilities, with easy wheelchair access. The front desk also has bar seating, and there's a lovely outdoor garden that even has heat lamps at night. Cleanliness: It's exceptionally clean, and the housekeeping service is excellent. Ambiance: Very aesthetically pleasing and made me feel very comfortable. Service: Absolutely outstanding. Every staff member was polite and courteous, and they responded quickly to any questions I had. If I come to Kyoto again, I will definitely choose this hotel.

A very satisfactory choice. Travel with parents and stayed four nights and royal park. Located near to subway kalasuma station, a good choice to explore Kyoto. Room is spacious compared to most of hotels in Kyoto, also is clean and quiet. Impressed by the breakfast where you can choose set menu between Japanese and American styles. Delicate dishes. It has a lounge where you can enjoy afternoon teas and happy hour. The public bath is a must go-to place after a long way during the day.

The hotel is conveniently located between Gojo and Shijo subway stations, slightly closer to Gojo. However, these two stations are quite close anyway, so walking to either is perfectly acceptable. A taxi to Kyoto Station costs around 2000 JPY. The hotel itself is clean and tidy, and the front desk staff speak fluent English, making communication a breeze. Both check-in and check-out were very efficient. The comfortable twin room features a wet and dry separation in the bathroom, which makes toiletries more convenient and reduces disturbance. The soundproofing of the windows is excellent; you can barely hear any outside noise, though an occasional siren is unavoidable. The room was cleaned daily, and amenities were well-stocked. The only slight letdown was the breakfast; while the quality was good, it was exactly the same for four consecutive days. More variety would have been a definite improvement.
