3 star hotels in Kyoto

The hotel is a bit old, but decent. The mattresses are quite firm, the rooms are large! The location is convenient in most cases. The breakfast is traditional. The stay was comfortable.

This hotel is quite good. It's located right across from Omiya Station. If you come out of the elevator exit with your luggage, it's diagonally opposite. The room and bathroom are small, but the layout is well-planned, so you can still open your suitcase easily. The free breakfast is great, with different options every morning. The staff are also very polite.

The hotel's location is excellent, just a few minutes from the subway station. The room was clean and comfortable, a perfectly decent budget hotel.

There were convenience stores and restaurants around the hotel, which was convenient, and it was also convenient to get around by bus, Hankyu line, and subway.

I often stay at Toyoko Inn when I'm in Japan, and this location is actually quite good. It's very close to Shijo Kawaramachi and there's a big supermarket nearby.

Near to the station, I’m satisfied with the breakfast provided every morning… surely will book next time if I visit to Kyoto again.

Location was perfect, located right beside Nijo station and a 10 min walk to Nijo castle. Room was big for Japan standard. Would stay again!

It was an amazing stay and we were sad to leave. Had the room with a view and enjoyed it so much. Rooms were big and beds were so comfortable. We especially enjoyed the free drinks bar - which had carbonated water, water, teas, matcha latte, coffees & lattes, and hot chocolate. I will stay here again.

The location is super convenient, close to both JR and subway Nijo stations. If you're heading to Amanohashidate, you can easily take the JR from Nijo round trip, and it's a direct 10-minute ride to Kyoto Station. For shopping in the Kawaramachi area, the subway is right there, and it's generally easy to get to various attractions. The hotel facilities are also quite sufficient, with a large public...

This was my third stay here, and I'm already quite familiar with the place, feeling completely at home. Every day, I'd head out for some coffee or matcha, then come back for another drink. In the evenings, the lobby was quiet enough for me to work on emails. The location is super convenient with plenty of supermarkets nearby. KOMEDA is right across the street, and there are tons of restaurants in the...

Great service throughout my stay. The staff were friendly attentive and always willing to help.

Stayed for three nights during the autumn leaves season. Although the price was several times higher due to the holidays, overall it was pretty good. The best part is how convenient it is to get to Arashiyama; the subway station is right across the street from the hotel entrance. I booked the cheapest room, and there's nothing much to say about it – it's small but has everything you need. For breakfast...

Wow! What a wonderful experience at Biwako Grand Hotel. Truly the most relaxing part of my Japan trip, the onsen was very beautiful, with fantastic views. We didn't end up getting a pure lake view, but it was still a beautiful and relaxing experience in the tatami room. It was a tad pricey, even for off-season, but with a wonderful kaiseki dinner, it was still a great time.

I booked the VIP room and it was huge! It really felt like a traditional ryokan, which was superb! Having the onsen right in the room was also fantastic, honestly. I absolutely loved my stay here. It was so relaxing, and the lake view was just magnificent. Since I'll be in Kyoto for the next few days, I'm definitely coming back for another night to enjoy the onsen and the stunning view of Lake Biwa...

We stayed one night at Biwako Grand Hotel Kyoomi and had a generally relaxing experience. The traditional tatami room was comfortable and suitable for staying with a young child. The hotel has a classic Japanese ryokan atmosphere, and the area near Lake Biwa is very peaceful. Staff were polite and helpful, and the shuttle service was convenient. Breakfast was simple but acceptable. One suggestion is...

It was great that there were two large public baths for men and two for women, and they were open 24 hours. Thanks to this, the baths weren't crowded at all, even for such a large ryokan. Dinner was served in a grand banquet hall at a designated time, and it was so lavish that the dishes barely fit on the table – everything was delicious! The facilities are quite old, so I did notice noises like the...

The hotel rooms were really great because they had private baths and offered views of Lake Biwa! The rooms were spacious, perfect for families or friends on vacation! The facilities were also very complete, and the hotel had a Lawson open until 10 PM! My biggest disappointment was the central climate control in the room; it was stuffy and hot all night, and I couldn't sleep well because there were...

A resort hotel for a relaxing getaway. The view of the lake from the onsen is pleasant, as is the view from the balcony. I was pleased with the abundance of various skincare products in the onsen. Breakfast was enjoyable with a wide selection. The futon in the room was a bit thin, so sleeping was hard. The electrical outlets were inconveniently located. There is a regular shuttle to the station, which...

Room space is nice and comes with balcony. A nice view. Everything is clean and with air humidifier/purifier. Good

The front desk service could be better. The couch in the room is a bit torn. Other than that, I enjoyed their location and decent breakfast! The massage chair is quiet nice.

Convenient transportation, clean room.

Hotel is good in overall. I am impressed with free drink times every day with some singers some times at night. It is a relax atmosphere for us to enjoy the times. Also, there is an area for the coffee-making by myself. Good to do it! Great! Buffet breakfast is also good.

A good mid level hotel in proximity to train station.Breakfasts are good. If possible , I recommend book the rooms that face inner yard, as there is a busy intersection on outside - may be noisy at times.

The breakfast was very good I suggest you book with the breakfast , coffee and a free bar make this hotel perfect

Facilities: Very complete, has everything you need. Hygiene: Very clean, with the option to just have towels changed daily. Service: Luggage storage available. Environment: Very close to Kyoto Station. Everything was good apart from the room being a bit small.

Great location, Kyoto Station is directly opposite to the hotel. Staff members were courteous and friendly

Very convenient location. Underpass to Porta / Kyoto station is at door step and there is a cafe (ogawa coffee) and soba restaurant at level 1 of the same building. Room a bit small but can open suitcase if you shift the furniture a little

Location is good near to the Kyoto bus interchange with lots of food eateries around.

I really enjoyed by stay here. It's in a convenient location right next to kyoto station. Room is sufficient for solo travellers! Amenities were also provided. There was also a laundry area with vending machines for drinks. Overall, I had a really good stay here and I felt really safe here as a solo female traveller.

Located right opposite Kyoto Station, it's just a 10-minute walk from the station exit, right under Kyoto Tower. The location is incredibly convenient for getting around. The service staff are very friendly, and there's free hot tea, hot water, toothbrushes, and other amenities available for self-service.

In general I liked the hotel. It wasn't perfect, but still above the average. Room wasn't too small, nice spa area, good breakfast. I'm European, but there were enough options to choose smth from non-asian food. Room was clean, but section above the bed had a lot of dust and fan in bathroom was pretty dirty. Cleaners were very friendly. I wish they give some tea/coffee in each room as well. Also there...

Great location with a short bus or metro ride to many tourist attractions. Room is clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly. Room rate is good for the location and quality.

Clean and comfortable, new finishings, spacious room, close to a great supermarket and local restaurants.

The staff is not so friendly, normal compare to other hotel I've stayed. The bed I got made me itchy a little in the night. Good things it near the center.

I am a very mean person and give a half star to most of the places. This hotel (for its price) is very nice for its nice front staffs, cleanliness, and an okay indoor onsen. Although the breakdast in a buffet style, the number of food was very small. It was okay though. The microwave wasn't working properly. That is the only complaint I have.

Hotel is very good for stay..they provide free spa...but the prices are very high for an average earning person.

The hotel is strategically located. Just a few stations away from Kyoto station. The nearest metro station is just 200m walking distance. There’s a public bath facility which is free of charge

overall nice stay, the shuttle bus was super convenient. really near convenience stores & train station too

Wonderful hotel and stay at this place. Good amenities. Love the free onsen! Laundry machines. Free shuttle to/from Kyoto station to hotel. Would definitely recommend and stay at the place next time again.

No issues with everything. Onsen with 2 temperatures. Carbonated onsen is less hot. The normal one is as hot as one expects I think.

Sadece tap water yerine bottled water da verilse her şey çok güzel olurdu.

A nice hotel nearby the station, love the ambience and customer service level Cleanliness is also superb

Stayed here for four nights while in Kyoto. In a great area a short ride from all the sights, but an interesting neighbourhood. Shops and restaurants close by. Would recommend.

The location is quite good, and it has everything you need.

This hotel is a 5-minute walk from Shijo Kawaramachi Station. Kyoto isn't very big, and in this weather, you can walk to Kiyomizu-dera, the Gion area, stroll along the river, and even reach the **** area all on foot. On the first day, I took public transport everywhere, only to realize later how close everything actually was. The room is small but clean. It's right on a main road, so there's some motorcycle...

For a city like Kyoto where every inch of land is precious, this hotel offers incredibly good value for money. The rooms are clean, the location is convenient, and the service is attentive. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Kyoto.

The perfect hotel! Wonderful location right next to Gion (and a beautiful canal), clean and comfortable room, lots of amenities, quiet, good service. Can onl recommend.

Hotel location is excellent. Not only super near the beautiful Kamo River, train & bus station & shopping mall. Just 5 mins walking distance you can have tons of restaurants to choose.

This hotel is super convenient, just a 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station. The room size was decent; we had no trouble opening two suitcases. The best part was how quiet it was at night, which meant we got a really good rest after a day of sightseeing. I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kyoto.

Just few mins away from Kyoto Station. Good place to stay for travelling around.

Very good value hotel in a super location very near the JR station. The rooms are small but have all that is needed. Great for a place to stay, while you are out most of the day exploring Kyoto.

Located very near to the kyoto station and they provide luggage storage service. Room size is average for Japan standard. Enough space to bring in 2 large luggages, but too cramped if you leave both opened up on the floor then no space to walk. Amenities quality (shower gel, hand wash, etc.) is not so good.

The room was a bit smaller than I expected, but it had everything I needed and was clean with no strange smells! The front desk staff were really nice. It's located right behind Kyoto Station, which is a great spot. I'd definitely come back again if I have the chance! 😊😊

The coin laundry had a long wait at night. There's no free coffee, but you can buy a cup for 100 yen. There's a Lawson and a Family Mart nearby. Overall, it's pretty average.

Extremely happy with my stay here, especially in this room. Honestly, I’m not sure why there are bad reviews — unless you’re particularly plus-size and need extra space, this room is completely fine. It actually has way more aesthetic and character than a plain, cookie-cutter hotel room, and the whole atmosphere genuinely added to our stay. We had zero issues opening two 30kg suitcases on the floor...

The hotel is directly opposite Kyoto Station, making it very easy to find. It was also super convenient for my day trip to a nearby city, and I really appreciated being able to store my luggage in the free lockers.

Excellent location. Nice staff, good size room. Comfortable bed. Heating works well. Blackout curtains are great.

Amazing hotel, excellent location, staff were all amazing, breakfast was so delicious, would highly recommend and stay again. Not sure why negative reviews, definitely would stay here again!!

For a special stay in kyoto where the view, location, and comfort matter, this hotel is a very strong choice. Room is spacious, clean and organized. near bus and train station. Furthermore, we were given a discount coupon for the observatory deck. my friend and i went during night and we had a memorable stay.

Good hotel in a great location — right in front of Kyoto Station. I booked it specifically to catch the morning Shinkansen to Tokyo and enjoy daytime views of Fuji. Breakfast was also solid, buffet-style.

The reception staff were very kind and pleasant. The room was very clean and well-maintained, and the bed was large. The location is also very convenient. I was grateful for the ample breakfast selection. They were able to store my luggage for a certain period of time before check-in and after check-out, which was very helpful.

The location was good and the room was comfortable. I will stay here again.

Very satisfied, great location, convenient transportation, good service

The location is great, very close to Sijo. However, check-in is at 3pm and check-out is at 10am the next day. Only suitable for consecutive stays.

The room's windows didn't open, which was a bit pointless. The smoke smell from the bed was quite strong, and the receptionist immediately dropped her attitude when she mentioned the smoke smell. She told me I had a smoking room. I checked out a non-smoking room that day, and it was only a few bucks more, but she didn't mention it.

The location is good, the transportation is quite convenient, the room is quite clean, the customer service is also good, the room area is not big, the bed is only big enough for one person, if you want a larger space and a spacious bed, it is recommended to book a twin room

We stayed for 5 nights at this hotel and it was very comfy and spacious. It is clean and tidy, the breakfast is ok. The hotel staffs are friendly & helpful, can converse in simple English. The location is very good, with bus station right infront, also quite near to Kyoto station. The only thing is there is quite some distance for convenience stores.

Family Room was spacious, the beds and rooms were clean! The location though was a little walk to the train station, maybe around 15 min walk. Not so many nearby restaurants, vending machines and one family restau is nearby.

This is the most comfortable hotel I've stayed at in Japan. The facilities are excellent, and the staff are very friendly and speak English. Super nice! 👍🏻 It's also not far from the subway station, and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel, making it very convenient to get to Kyoto Station. Highly recommended! 👍🏻

Very comfortable beds and nice hotel but location is not convenient.

The breakfast included was great value for money. It's super convenient with a bus stop right outside, and it's close to Nishi Honganji Temple. The hotel staff were really friendly and the room was clean. They even have triple rooms available.

Excellent hotel! Absolutely fantastic, super great! Highly recommend it!!!

Truly enjoyed my stay here! Really love the cozy and zen vibes and location was really good, directly opposite a mall with Uniqlo, GU and Loft. Amenties were provided in the lobby so you can help yourself to it anytime. Overall, a really comfortable stay and I’d come back again!

Overall is good and they have Refa for shower and hairdryer. My only complaint is the room is quite dark, not have enough light/lamp..

Excellent location, just a few steps and you're right on the hustle and bustle of downtown Kyoto. Room was clean. They have free coffee inside a quiet library. Staff was extremely helpful. I recommend

Excellent! The room is quite spacious, big enough to open a 30-inch suitcase. Downstairs, there's a lounge area with coffee, hot water, and a restroom, perfect for early risers to get everything sorted before heading out with friends.

It was really good to stay at Resol, the staff were friendly, the rooms were clean, the location was excellent- right in the middle of the high street- but the hotel itself served as a sanctuary and can I add, the scent when you walked in was heavenly- I even bought their signature essential oil. The hotel offers experiences for their guests, I watched a Maiko dance and practiced calligraphy with...

Excellent location, and the room was exactly as pictured - clean, comfortable, and tidy. This is my second stay here, and the service is still fantastic! The views are also beautiful. Overall, it's incredibly good value for money, and I'll definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

The location is absolutely perfect! For tourists, Shijo Kawaramachi is the best base. There are two taxi stands right downstairs, Takashimaya is next door, and many attractions and shopping streets are within walking distance. The Good Nature Station downstairs is also great for browsing. The room was clean, and it has wooden floors, so you need to take off your shoes. They thoughtfully provided both...

Very clean very convenient hotel. Will definitely come back to this hotel when I return to Kyoto.

Love the Modern design of this hotel. Got a free upgrade.Very convenient location in the heart of shopping area

The location is spot on. It's incredibly handy for getting around, with everything right on your doorstep. You've got loads of shops and places to explore nearby, so you're never short of things to do😊 Brilliant ! housekeeping did a cracking job. It’s a proper eco-friendly spot, they give you a reusable water bottle to use during your stay, which is dead handy for carrying around while you're out...

Absolutely amazing hotel in the middle of everything we loved it

Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good

Found some hair under the bed that wasn't vacuumed before checking in, didn't fully take all our rubbish. Decent place to stay at location wise but very small space for a family (especially in the "king deluxe room"). Only had 2 towels too despite there being 4 of us.

For Japan, the room was quite spacious.

Rooms small, but have what you need. Location is far from the sights, but easy to get to on many bus routes. Onsen on 9th floor never busy and perfect size for this hotel. Great price. Staff very friendly.

The hotel is quite a long walk from Kyoto Station; it took us about 20+ minutes on foot to get there. You could take the bus, but it doesn't really save much time. There's a good ramen shop right next to the hotel that even gave our child a toy. The room isn't huge, but there's enough space for luggage. The lobby downstairs offers free coffee, which I enjoyed every morning.

The experience there was nice. We spent 2 nights there and what I like is the Onsen and the service.

It is a comfortable and practical stay in Kyoto. It is two bus stops from the main station, making access simple and convenient. The staff are helpful and welcoming, always ready to assist with directions or requests. Rooms are small but clean and well maintained. Room service is prompt and reliable. The spa is an added plus, offering a relaxing way to unwind after sightseeing. On the downside, the...

The location is a bit pricey. Nothing special, just average. Breakfast was so-so. Transportation is inconvenient. The hotel is in a quiet area, suitable for early risers.

It was a quiet and comfortable inn for a good rest. Apparently, it was located on the former site of the Mito Domain residence. However, there were no USB charging ports on the table or next to the bed, which was inconvenient.

The hotel is very close to the subway station, about ten minutes' walk away. There is a paid breakfast in the morning, which costs 1,750 yen per person, which is equivalent to a Chinese set meal. I personally think it is average. The hotel environment is good and relatively clean. There are coffee and tea bags in the hotel room.

The hotel is very well located in terms of being close to the imperial palace, the only drawback is that public transport is a 10-minute walk away, otherwise an incredible hotel. Also near the hotel there are some rubbish bins, something unusual in this country…

The location is near Kyoto Imperial Garden. It takes a few minutes to walk to the subway entrance, which is still a bit far, but the hotel has that old money feel. The service standard is there. You can ask for a room that is not on the side of the road. It is still pretty good. The keys are very retro, the bathroom is also very large, and the room is also very large. I just forgot to take a picture...

I took my dad out for a trip and booked the Garden Palace Hotel opposite the Kyoto Imperial Garden. The price for two people including breakfast was about 1,000 yuan per night. The hotel is about the same as the old four-star hotels in China. The hygiene is OK, the room size is OK, the overall facilities are a bit old, and the front desk service is also standard and not enthusiastic. The breakfast...

Simply the best option for exploring Gion (pic random)

A very standard Fresa Inn. If you're a member, you can check in at 2 PM and check out at 12 PM. The room is more than enough for one person, and all the amenities are provided. The staff's English is quite good, and they even have a handheld translation device. Exiting the hotel, turn right, and you'll find Exit 4 of Shijo Subway Station, with a very convenient elevator entrance. Turn left, and you...

Highly recommend! Good price and clean! Very comfortable and convenient location. Will book again when visiting Kyoto! 💕

Very nice and modern hotel that’s centrally located and the staff are very nice. The room was comfortable and the bathroom very clean. I would recommend this hotel for any couples traveling to Kyoto

This is my second time staying here. Like the convenient of meals n groceries. Near to train station. Thank you for always making my trip to Kyoto a great and nice.

Great value for money and location is footsteps away from the subway as well as other prime location. Rooms is normal business hotel size

The hotel's location is great, though food options nearby might be a bit limited. However, it offers excellent value for money.

Quite nice hotel, staff was polite m, it was just a bit far from the stations

Everything good, good service and good location.. happy with my booking

Excellent budget hotel. The price for the room was very affordable and the service we received was great. Location is very convenient and the neighbourhood is nice and quiet. Grocery shops, cafes, places to have a walk to and the metro stations near by. Be ready to check in only after 16:00

Very nice hotel! Super value for its price and good location in kyoto!

It's a very neat and clean hotel. I love this hotel . It's nearly omiyo and nirjono mae station. I must booking again when I go kyoto

Stayed at Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kyoto - Hachijoguchi and had a great experience. The location is excellent—just a short and easy walk from Kyoto Station. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. The room was comfortable and well-maintained. I also liked that all the amenities are provided at the lobby and you can take what you need anytime. Very convenient! There’s also a convenience...

The location is convenient, close to Kyoto Station. The room was clean, and the amenities downstairs were well-equipped. However, the room was a bit small, with the foot of the bed very close to the wall, making it difficult to open luggage.

The room was spacious and very clean. There's a laundry room on the first floor. All the disposable toiletries, including hair masks, are available for free. It's a five-minute walk from Kyoto Station, and there's a convenience store right downstairs. Getting around from here is super convenient! Plus, there's a Coco Ichibanya curry restaurant next door.

Loved the hotel location. Right next to Lawson, Avantis Mall and 5mins walk from Kyoto Station Hachijo East Exit. Easy for travelling around Kyoto. Room is decent size, I brought a 28inch luggage. Would stay here again if I return to Kyoto. Good value for money.

Easy transportation around. Close to metro station. Just 30 mins away to Arashiyama. Lawson, Family Mart are very close.

The hotel is located at the Hachijo East Exit. You'll see it right after crossing the street from McDonald's. There's a convenience store downstairs, and the breakfast is excellent and highly recommended. You can purchase breakfast when checking in, which is done via a self-service machine. The bathroom is quite spacious. One issue I had was with room 520, where the bathtub leaked. It wasn't a problem...

Great location! Free bread even without breakfast plan. Cozy room but the pillows could be comfier

The hotel was more than I expected. As soon as you get in the outside noise disappears. It has a big eating area and even a spot where you can make your own matcha tea. The hotel was clean and the room was spacious, quiet, and private. The staff is welcoming and helpful. They also speak English. Great location with many coffee shops and restaurants near by. I will highly recommend this hotel to anyone...

Good modern Japanese hotel. Love it

Overall, we were very satisfied with the room! The location is very convenient, the facilities are complete, it's clean, and the service is excellent. Our plans changed last minute and we needed to switch room types, and the hotel quickly helped us resolve the issue! We're very pleased and will definitely stay here again next time we visit Kyoto.

The large room exceeded my expectations. The master bedroom has a sliding door that separates it from the entrance, providing excellent privacy and a very Japanese feel. There's also a FamilyMart right next to the hotel, which is super convenient for late-night snacks and breakfast!

Room was great and quiet. Super convenient with a FamilyMart next to the hotel.
