2 star hotels in Kyoto

We have stayed here a few times. The aparthotel is showing its age, with some stains on the wallpaper. The air conditioning is strong and very cold during 37degree days which is extremely important so you can rest without discomfort. The cookware is newish so no problems cooking. You can loan a rice cooker. We enjoyed our stay and the front desk was very helpful especially Rosina. Our luggage was delivered...

We stayed here in April 2024. We enjoyed the hotel immensely and the staff was so lovely. I mailed a post card at the near by post office and it was returned to the hotel. The hotel reached out to me via email and asked if I’d like them to resend it to another address. This shows a glimpse of how friendly and hospitable the staff is!The room was clean and definitely a great deal for the price. It was...

Excellent service, friendly reception staff. Amenities like razors and dental kits are placed in reception area for guests to pick-up. A complimentary coffee machine is available in the reception 2pm-9pm, but it would be far more useful if it was available throughout the day. On asking, we were provided umbrellas and extra pillows. The kitchenette is too tiny to cook in but utilitarian enough for throwing...

Had a very nice experience here! Stayed for 6 nights. I want to start off by thanking each of the five different staff and concieger for their welcoming presence and helping with umbrella rentals, restaurant reservations, and luggage forwarding. Everyone was super positive, which I would remember the most from my stay here! The location was great as it was close to the subway. The hotel felt secure...

Convenient location. Suite style so there's even a little kitchen. Rooms are a good size, but many of things seem pretty old. They replaced the TV with a brand new one on our second night which was nice. Bed is just okay, bedding is quite thin, and the couch feels like it died 10 years ago. Our booking came with the breakfast but I absolutely would not pay for it if it was not included - very basic...

Nice place with easy access to subway. There's a 711 across the street and several restaurants a few steps away. Super convenient. Staff is friendly and speaks English like other posts have mentioned.

Good place and location , a lot of technological innovations which is pretty cool

If you want to make international friends and are into the backpacker vibe, this is the place for you. Very clean. Polite staff. Able to store luggage before check in. Location is right in the middle of the tourist district. Sometimes the elevator was very slow to pick you up if a busy time. My capsule room had a rip in the screen which let light in. Of course, the nature of this hotel is you are close...

Overall great experience at the Millenials Kyoto. When you arrive there is a possibility to leave your luggage before check-in. The bed is quite comfortable, the bathroom could be a bit cleaner -＞dust falling from the A.C fan… The service is impeccable (there is even unlimited cofee/hot chocolate… available all day long) Breakfast could have more fresh pastries (they where taken out of the plastic...

Hotels in Kyoto are really expensive during autumn leaf season, so this place is a great value for solo travelers. They provide slippers and towels, and the shared bathrooms are very clean and modern. The showers are spacious, and the staff are friendly. It's a bit of a walk to the subway on the main street, but very convenient for buses. Everyone staying here is quite quiet. The only downside is the...

The location is perfect with nice environment. The staff is friendly. Excellent place for people doing digital nomad

This capsule hotel was a great experience ! The capsule itself was big, the bed was comfortable. The common area had a nice vibe with people chilling all around. Very good location! I would definitely like to come back :)

I chose to stay at Pocket Hotel near Gojo Subway Station for my cherry blossom viewing trip in Kyoto. It was incredibly clean and hygienic, with separate accommodations and bathing facilities for men and women. I'll definitely stay here again next time. It offers excellent value for money and is very clean. Truly a great choice!

It feels like a boutique hotel but at a hostel price point, offering the perfect balance of privacy and community. The rooms are cleverly designed and spotless, while the communal lounge is a great place to plan your day. Being so close to the subway and Kyoto’s best shrines, it’s the ideal home base for exploring.

The hygiene was good, but you have to make your own futon. The front desk service was also very good. I arrived in Kyoto in the morning feeling very tired, so I paid extra to check in early, and I could even pay with Alipay.

This place is AMAZING for its price point. Everything is sparkling clean and quite new. The location is amazing as it is just next to the metro station. It is also quite close to the bus station and that's important as buses are way more convenient than trains in Kyoto. For food, there are cheap franchised restaurants around and 7-eleven right opposite. In terms of service, the staff there are friendly...

I had a very satisfying trip. It was very convenient to get to several places from here.

This hotel is in a super convenient location, very close to the subway exit. It's also really quiet, and there are plenty of dining options nearby like Yoshinoya, McDonald's, and three Japanese restaurants, all at reasonable prices. Plus, there's a 24-hour supermarket just around the corner. Inside the hotel, the restrooms, showers, and hallways are all very warm and comfortable, thanks to the good...

Excellent service and a fantastic location! It's surrounded by a bustling commercial street, making it incredibly convenient for getting around.

Great location with basic amenities. Good for tourist. Well recommended and situated in a good location Laundry facilities can be improved by having paid laundry and the machine being lockable. Had laundry taken out inconsiderate users when it’s not finished yet

The location is great! The wifi was problematic though...we ended up using our own sim cards. Facilties are a bit old, especially the heating. There's only 4 settings, not like an aircon remote. But otherwise beds are comfy and there was sufficient space for luggages.

Old hotel with an entrance right at the station. Living on lower floors guarantees vibration from the trains and sound from the street. Location itself is great and price is adequate for the location.

The location couldn't be better. It's super convenient for visiting Arashiyama, Uji, and other places. Downstairs, you'll find popular shopping spots like Shinkyogoku Shopping Street, and Takashimaya is right across the street.

The Kyoto Central Hotel boasts an excellent location, right by the Hankyu station exit. The facilities are a bit dated, and you don't need a key card for power, but there are very few outlets. I booked a single room with a single bed but was given a standard room, which was a bit confusing. Living in the city center has its clear pros and cons: it's next to a subway station, making it convenient to...

The room wasn't big but it was very clean. Breakfast was a buffet, consisting of simple toast and instant noodles. The hotel's location was excellent, very close to the station and next to Aeon Mall, making shopping and dining very convenient.

Although the room is small, it's fully equipped and offers all the basic services you need. Breakfast, drinks, and coffee are provided free of charge on the first floor. It's about a 5-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station. Note that getting to the JR station from the hotel requires walking through a long underground passage; the hotel faces the Shinkansen platform directly.

The room is old, the location is average, about ten minutes walk from Kyoto Station, the hygiene is not very good, and the hotel does not provide luggage storage service, which is very inconvenient

Simple hotel for the night with a great location near Kyoto Station. Room is standard size but it’s all I needed.

Location wise, its very convenient but it isn’t the best hotel within its price range. They don’t accept luggage storage after checkout which is unusual in business hotels as far as I’ve experienced.

Second day. No bread for breakfast ! I ask why. Answer of the desk : hôtel is crowded ! Guys, you know it in advance, just buy enough bread !

Really good location here. Really good location here. relax

Clean, quite and convenient. A very good place to stay a while.

The hotel is located right outside the Otsu Station ticket gates. Entering the property is through the attached bar and restaurant. Most of the nearby restaurants seem to close around 11pm. There are no cooking utensils, but you can bring your own food and drink in the common areas. There are also pots and water dispensers, so we were able to eat cup ramen inside the hotel.

Excellent establishment, the staff are very pleasant and everything is very clean.

I used it last time, and the location, directly connected to the station, is very convenient. The showers, powder rooms, and other facilities are spacious and clean, making it a pleasant experience. I'd like to use it again.

Excellent location, right at the station. Check in 16h00. No wifi offered. Hotel access via public restaurant - feels weird to walk between diners to go out / return. Lockers far too narrow even for airline carry-on. Bathroom is clean, shower has small dry area, and water pressure varies. Capsules are spacious with power socket, lights, shelf, etc. The mattress is a few cm thick piece of soft foam...

The room is a little bit small for four persons but still sufficient considering it’s in Japan. The facilities provided are perfect especially the lounge area.

I had a pleasant stay at Webase Kyoto. The room was clean, the common areas were well-maintained, and the staff were helpful throughout my visit. I would consider staying again.

The room is clean, a little bit far from the BTS station but convenient. The management system is good. The bathroom is shared but well managed. The shared shower room has enough space.

The reception was very warm; there was even a Russian-speaking staff member who gave us detailed information about the hotel's surroundings. Thanks to him, we were able to find perhaps the best cento of our trip. The room's downsides included the windows not opening, the combined bathroom and shower, and short blankets. The room's advantages included power outlets by the bed.

Best place to stay. The room is big, but the bathroom is not inside.

For the price its a good deal. However, note that the room is really small. We had to open our suitcases on the table to save space.

I'm happy to be able to drink soft drinks for free. I also appreciate that there is a WaterServer on each floor.

Very small hotel. Not suitable for taking children.

The hotel is about 100 meters away from the subway exit, as long as you find the right exit. The room is not too small. The front desk is from Southeast Asia and the service is no problem. The room is really not too small, and there is also a leg massager. It is within walking distance to scenic spots and shopping. All kinds of food in the surrounding area can satisfy you.

Breakfast is average, not many choices. The hotel staff are very polite.

It was clean and good for the price. I had a free time and didn't have to worry about laughing. The front desk staff was also kind and happy. Sightseeing is easy and convenient. Recommended!

The hotel is very close to the subway station. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Zhuyuan, Yasaka Shrine and Kamogawa. The hotel room is relatively large in Kyoto. The hotel environment is clean and soundproofed, and the service staff are very friendly. The room is equipped with a leg and foot massager, which can help relieve the fatigue of daily travel, which is great!

I don't know why, but I can't seem to remember staying here at all.

The hotel has a very authentic Japanese style, giving it a cozy, home-like feel. The hot spring baths are also great and free to use. Breakfast was very rich, and the rice, in particular, was delicious. The only downside is that breakfast starts quite early, and the room facilities are a bit basic, but overall, the value for money is still acceptable.

Really good amenities. Has Massage and public bath

The hot bath and service were very satisfying. Soaking in the hot springs really helps wash away the day's fatigue. The front desk staff proactively helped with our luggage, which was excellent service. The only slight disappointment was that the futon mattresses on the tatami felt a bit old and had a faint smell.

Great onsen tattoo friendly! If you want a traditional Japanese experience this is the place, from bedroom to breakfast.

The perfect place for me as the first user of the ryokan!!!! The room and public bath are very clean. The breakfast is fantastic too

New hotel with a clean, spacious room and everything you need. The area is nice and quiet at night, so I slept really well. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Staff was friendly and polite. Room is clean and comfortable. Location is a strong point as the hotel is very central and within walking distance to temples and shopping district.

For this price, the value for money is really good. However, they don't offer room cleaning, but they do provide towel changes. There's a free coffee machine on the first floor. The location on Huajian Road is also very convenient. Overall, the size of the room is perfectly fine for one person. Recommended!

Fantastic hotel. Great location, super helpful employees (who called a bike rental place for us), and good lobby with tea and coffee. There is no breakfast available, but we ususally got breakfast at a convenience store and ate it in the lobby. I would book here again.

Nice hotel and very well positioned! The receptionists are always happy to help you and generally they always speak English! PS. They also sell the fragrance you can smell in the hotel, this is very nice!!

The hotel is so good and we love the location! Thank you so much for this experience

Karaksa was a very comfortable and clean stay. The downstairs area was also welcoming and comfortable. Staff were great, location was close to public transport but if you like to walk places probably not the best location as it's slightly too far to walk easily to a lot of Kyoto's tourist destinations.

The Karaksa hotel is a clean and nice hotel. It has everything you need and nothing else. It is a modern hotel with simplicity at its core. No extravagant offerings or amenities. You get a clean and nice room with no extra space but it is big enough. The breakfast is simple but sufficient and the egg salad was very good. The staff is very helpful and even fluent in English and very helpful in how to...

Nice and clean Hotel. The staff is very friendly and most speak English well. We are a family of four and they accommodated us with two adjoining rooms. Both rooms were nice and very clean. The bathrooms are a little small and if you are over 6', the shower will be a bit uncomfortable. They offer free breakfast and there is free coffee and fountain drinks all day. The Hotel is in a great location and...

Decent hotel with simple breakfast and Nice location. Two super markets nearby. Bed is tough and clean. Bathroom was also excellent except toilet was a little bit small. English was not a problem here. Based on its price. It's totally worth it. If you think my review is useful, please give me a like.

Very good hotel. Convenient location near Omiya station right in Shijo-dori and away from the crowds at Kyoto station. Comfortable rooms with a very clean bathroom. Good lounge space with free tea, coffee and corn soup that turns into a mini breakfast buffet in the morning. Highly recommended!

Very polite staff. Clean and modern looking. Of the minuses - no closet (they are all in Japanese hotels is not caught) and generally a bit crowded. There is Breakfast and free coffee 24 hours a day. The area is nice. Metro in 2 minutes. If you just spend the night, everything is super.

El personal, era muy amable. El desayuno muy rico. El tamaño de la habitación.

Small rooms. Difficult to fit luggage. Clean and excellent customer service. Functional for. One night. Breakfast finished at 9am. Too early

Very nice hotel. It’s clean and comfortable. The traditional rooms are awesome! We had a very nice stay!

Super clean rooms. They are small, but this is normal in Japan at this price range. They allow you to choose a pillow that suits you. Very polite and helpful staff that speak good English. Extremely fast internet too, about 100 mbps.

One of our best hotels stays. The rooms are spacious. Ironing, washing, drying facilities are all provided(sone at a small fee). The location is a 10 minutes walk to Nishiki market and larger malls and it’s very convenient to access Shrines in Osaka, metros stations from here.

Very comfortable. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Very good. Washing machine was on the small side so had to do three loads of laundry but it was no problem…

The room had a lovely Japanese design. However, as this room type is located on the ground floor, it can get a bit dim. Nonetheless, it didn't detract from our overall stay.

Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The semi-double bed was wonderfully roomy, ensuring a great night's sleep. I especially liked the amenities; the toothbrush and hairbrush were made of wood instead of plastic, which added a nice touch of luxury. While the slippers were antibacterial, I personally prefer disposable ones to the reusable type. The location was also very convenient, and I would...

I really love this hotel… their service so nice, room so clean, full of convenience, their staff really professional and friendly. If i come back kyoto, i will book this hotel again ❤️❤️❤️

Everything was great, except the doors were quite heavy so they made a sound whenever we had to key in the room code. t

Extremely friendly staff! Very nice stay in beautiful Kyoto. Very accessible to all kinds of places!

The place is clean, including a very functional and well kept kitchen.   Very helpful staff, she facilitated my early checkout outside her working hourly, Thank you do much.

I was traveling alone this time, and couldn't find a hotel during a busy holiday period. This hostel exceeded my expectations; it was incredibly clean and tidy, and had all the facilities needed. The ground floor is a bistro where you can have brunch or drinks, and it has a great atmosphere. The location is also excellent, very close to Shijo Ohashi Bridge and Kamo River. Takashimaya for shopping and...

It's okay. It's my second time staying here. I think it's the same room. It's a 1-minute walk to Slo and 5 minutes to Suba.Kyoto. So I highly recommend it. It's very close to the river and the price is reasonable.

Great location with plenty to explore nearby. The restaurant/bar downstairs is very comfortable and the service is good. I'd definitely stay here again. Hotel guests get discount coupons for the bar downstairs – highly recommended for those who like a modern aesthetic with a touch of natural wood.

The place was very clean and the staff were friendly. We had a 10 AM check-out but they kindly allowed us to extend it until 12 PM, for which I'm very grateful.

I used room 201 on the second floor. I had to open the window for one night due to the moldy smell. Soundproofing was poor. The room was spacious.

A great little hotel with surprisingly plenty of space by Japanese standards. Good location and good service, ideal for a short stay in Kyoto.

The separate tatami room makes eating and drinking convenient, and the bathtub and toilet are each located separately, making it incredibly comfortable! If I ever return to Kyoto, I'd definitely come back!

The room is relatively large, there are many restaurants around, it is very convenient to go to Kinkakuji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple, Nijo Castle, and Kyoto Station, and the price is affordable. There are two double beds and two tatami floors. It is the best choice for family accommodation.

They took care of our luggage in advance and the counter staff was friendly. It was enough for 4 people!

This was better then we expected. Really nice location, close to the old town (walking distance), but still quite. Some of our favorites restaurants where from the street next to the hotel.

Small but convenient and quiet and comfortable Nice location in Gion, close to noteworthy points both at night and during the day Very good value for money overall

The room was rather small; with two large suitcases open, space had to be cleverly utilized. Room cleaning was done at fixed times, every other day, but towels were changed and trash disposed of daily upon request. The room seemed well soundproofed; I heard very little noise during my four-night stay. The hotel is located in a small alley; the road in front is a 17-minute walk from Kiyomizu-dera Temple...

I thought the location would be a bit off-putting, considering it's a bit far from Kyoto Station, but it's also close to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and there were more restaurants and attractions nearby than I expected! The facilities were nice, and most importantly, the staff were friendly!

I was staying alone, so there was no need for an extra bed. The room was spacious enough for one person, and could even accommodate two people with luggage. However, you need to pick up your own toothbrush and toothpaste from a designated area when you go upstairs, as there are none in the bathroom. The best thing about this place is its proximity to Gion-Shijo (within 10 minutes) and Kiyomizu-dera...

Clean, the front desk staff is friendly and amiable, the location is close to Kiyomizu Temple, the toilet is big enough, there are water dispensers, ice machines and ice buckets for guests to use, the only drawback is that there is no cleaning service (you need to pay extra)

We had an amazing big rooms for unbeatable price. Only 2 rooms per floor. True game changer compared to the small rooms we had in other cities. Location is great to visit around Kyoto. Amenities are minimal (no gym or spa) but lobby is great and provide free stuffs

Comfortable, stylish hotel. Great amenities and well priced. Had a great stay and would definitely recommend them…

Location is okay. A bit of a walk to the main area and takes about the same amount of time by bus. No bowls provided in apartment, which we would have liked.

Clean room. Welcoming staff. Shops near by and places to eat. Bus close for travel to Kyoto Station.

Perfect for a 5-night stay. We were able to explore Kyoto and take day trips, unwind in our room and then go out again at night. In-room laundry is awesome.

The location is perfect if u travel around since it's few minutes walk from Gojo station,it's well connected to other lines.The room I stayed was the biggest size ,it had a sofa and a coffee table ,the balcony gives the edge as you can see the skyline but u can'teat or chill on ot though.The Staff is amazing, always ready to help and find a solution.

Decent hotel, thought we had breakfast in our reservation but apparently not. There is nothing very close for food other than a ministop about 8 mins away if you get hungry.

Beautifully presented hotel with helpful and welcoming staff. Short walk into the main sites of Arashiyama. The breakfast experience is a must with incredibly presented dishes and amazing flavours.

The dinner experience at the hotel was exquisite, beautifully presented and full of flavor. Every dish felt like a carefully crafted work of art, showing the chef’s dedication and attention to detail. It was truly a memorable and refined dining experience.

Reasonably priced for Arashiyama. I gave it a high rating because they put a lot of effort into the breakfast and I enjoyed it very much. The staff spoke softly in a very kind manner in the morning. On the other hand, the hotel has a simple system that is common these days, such as automatic check-in and self-baggage storage before check-in and after check-out. (The staff seemed to be there all the...

What a wonderful hotel! The man at reception was very kind and welcoming. The room was well appointed. The breakfast was AMAZING. A wonderful experience. This hotel is convenient for the train station and the bamboo garden.

The location is great and travel is convenient. The room is very clean, the layout is reasonable, the air conditioner is strong enough, and the water pressure in the bath is so high that it feels like a massage. It is very comfortable, but the curtains are not enough to block the light. The breakfast was so grand, so good!

There was no food. Although there was a microwave in the lobby there was nowhere indicating where to wash the dishes. Rooms were tidied nicely everyday but there were stains on the room mats and no one put pillowcases on our extra pillows. The lobby folk were friendly but not forthcoming with any information for example was the water drinkable. Pro was proximity to Kyōto station walking kimonos and...

The room was large and clean, but the bathroom was a bit small, the hot water didn't flow well, and it was difficult to adjust the temperature.

The hotel was quite clean overall, but I accidentally forgot the check-out time. I thought it was an hour earlier than in China, 11:00 AM, but it was actually 10:00 AM. The room was quite small, but the overall experience was good. It was a novel experience to experience the Japanese accommodation atmosphere. The surrounding area was also quite quiet, not too noisy, as it's a residential area. Getting...

I wanted to experience a Japanese-style accommodation during my recent trip to Kyoto, so I made a reservation. Everyone at the hotel was friendly, the location was great, and the cleanliness was also good. They provided new bedding, towels, and amenities every day. The service was also good. If I were to miss breakfast, they would call me. I was satisfied in every way. If I visit Kyoto again, I would...

The room is old. Typical Japanese style. The room is bigger than expected. But the bathroom is super small. The toilet is facing the bathtub diagonally. Surprisingly, there is a big bath on the first floor. It's not big. But I was quite satisfied to go there alone for a bath at night.

The Japanese style rooms are highly recommended, cheaper than a Ryokan.

Absolutely fantastic! The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, with numerous bus and subway lines passing by. The hot water in the shower was plentiful and arrived quickly, and an electric kettle was provided. Towels were replenished daily. Although there was no front desk, when we couldn't find our phone charger at midnight, we called Ctrip, and the Japanese host patiently answered the phone...

The hotel lovated is amazing. Only 2 minutes from Nijo Station, and 5 minutes to Co-op Nijo (a supermarket) with huge variety of products. We always bought meals at 09.00 PM and got a 30-50% discount. Very cheap and convenient! The room is surprisingly spacious, not like other hotels in Japan which is small. They have hangers for clothes and we can hang out clothes to dry in the balcony. They have...

Very good location. Close to two stations. And it's a 10-minute ride to Kyoto Station. It's always very convenient for me when there's a shortage of staff and no keys, as the doors have a code lock.

I was surprised that it was much nicer than I expected. It's conveniently located near the station.

The rooms are clean, spacious, and reasonably priced. Very close to the station. There was also a coin laundry. There was also a relatively large refrigerator and microwave. The room was large, spacious, and very comfortable. I want to use it again.

When I installed the app, it came with a coupon that I could stay for 1,000 yen, so I tried using it. From a general comment, if you are staying at a certain hotel in a very nice inn, I recommend this one. ◯ Location It is a 1-minute walk from Nijo Station in Kyoto. Nijo Station has two lines, JR and subway, so I think it is a convenient location for both sightseeing and business. There are many commercial...
