3 star hotels in Kyoto

great location, nice room and onsen, free ice cream, matcha and coffee

Love the pillow choices, toothbrush choices. Only the toilet before checked in was just one unit and had to wait to freshen up!

The hotel's best asset is its location, right across from Kyoto Station, making travel incredibly convenient. It's also only about 100 meters from the Kansai Airport Limousine Bus stop. Plus, there's a popular restaurant nearby that's open until 11 PM.

Very nice hotel… just opposite train station… and Japanese breakfast …

Free coffee service from 3 PM to 10 PM, and 6 AM to 12 noon (machine also provides match latte, cappuccino, espresso, strong coffee, mild coffee). Also, free ice pops in 4 flavors. Check in and check out can be fully automated, but there are also receptionist in the lobby. Has public bath on the first floor with Mikimoto based body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Just a few steps from the pedestrian...

Location is perfect, it is just next to the Kyoto station, good for commute between places. The onsen is a plus after a long day of sightseeing

This hotel perfect for a stay out from bustling Kyoto city. a bit far, but very good location if you dont mind 10mins walk to JR station.

It was far from any station, about a 12-minute walk. It was also a bit far to call a taxi, and carrying heavy luggage was tiring.

Being a Toyoko Inn, there's nothing wrong with the hotel itself. The rooms are clean and the service is also excellent. The only downside is the location. It's a bit far from both JR Otsu Station and Keihan Biwako-Hamaotsu Station, so it might be a bit difficult if you have luggage or during hot or cold seasons. Also, there are no convenience stores nearby, so you might find it inconvenient if you...

Self-check-in was available, but the service was quite good. There was a water dispenser and a small seating area. The room was a bit more spacious than typical Japanese rooms, but there was only one elevator, so the wait was quite long. The breakfast was simple and delicious. It's a few minutes' walk from the station, and there's a small shopping street nearby.

My room was in front of the air conditioner unit storage area, so the view from the window was terrible. Apparently there are rooms with views of Lake Biwa, so I wish they'd let me choose the view I wanted. Even though I asked if I wanted a room with a good view when I checked in... I wish they'd explained to me that, if there was an air conditioner unit outside the window, unfortunately there were...

High C/P.  So rush hour it is hard to take elevator

The hotel boasts an excellent location, just about a ten-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station and a mere five minutes from Aeon Mall, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel, and subway and Kintetsu stations are also nearby. The hotel breakfast is also great, offering a good variety of both Japanese and Western options, and the service is very attentive...

The room is spacious and cozy.  It’s near the Kyoto station, transport is very convenient. Staff are helpful.

The bus stop is right outside the hotel, and the subway is just a few minutes' walk away, making transportation very convenient. There's also a large Aeon supermarket about a 5-minute walk away, with a great selection of beef and sashimi. Staying at this hotel is very convenient.

The room was quite small, and they didn't even provide toothbrushes or toothpaste. The Wi-Fi was also unstable. The only good thing was that it was cheap.

We stayed at Green Rich Hotel Kyoto for two nights, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. It was truly one of my favourite hotels — and that’s saying a lot, considering I’m a seasoned traveler who has visited 36 countries. Location: The hotel is conveniently situated about a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station, with multiple bus stops located right at the entrance. Getting around...

The room was small but tidy, though the bathroom was extremely tiny, almost like one on a cruise ship. It had cooking facilities, but no stove.

Hotel was really good and convenient. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable.

The room was clean and nice. There was a convenience store nearby, which was convenient. I went by car, and the parking attendant was very kind, explaining the nearby parking lots in detail and checking their availability, which was a great help.

Had a quick one night stay in this hotel and enjoyed it. I was expecting older room type that I saw in photos, but I got a nice renovated room that is the same as new APA hotels. The location is very convenient, but be careful as there is another APA hotel literally on the other side of the road - this one is the smaller one. Unfortunately there are no washing machines available. The breakfast is...

I was generally satisfied except for the fact that the front desk was a bit cramped. It's easily accessible from the station. I'd like to use it again.

Good and comfortable stay, but needs improvement. The cleaning staff showed unprofessional attitude. I had put my full trash bag outside my door for collection. It did get collected, however they simply threw another trash disposal bag into my garbage bin and left it there for me to open and wrap into the bin. Since they had entered my room to do the needful, how many seconds would it have taken them...

Great service and I love that they installed filtered and purified water in the shower that you can use for drinking. They have a cafe right down the lobby which has really good and affordable coffee, matcha etc. It’s about 3mins walk to the train station and they have a couple of convenient store nearby within walking distance. The one downside we found is they don’t have any laundry services within...

Beautifully designed hotel in a quiet area but very conveniently located (15 min walk from station). I love the onsen and afternoon drinks in the comfortable cafe. Highly recommend the Japanese breakfast.

Love the ambience of the Hotel! Close to bus stop station and love the ONSEN!

Stayed for several nights in December — very good location for many attactions and Kyoto station in walking distance. Staff was very helpful with the luggage and treats, also warned about free calligraphy lesson in dinning area which was additional impression during my stay!

Good hotel, breakfast was very limited. There were 2 types of breakfast Japanese and American

Excellent hotel overall, in my opinion. As a family of four, two adults and two toddlers, the room we received was too small. We could not find a place to store our luggages.

Really enjoyed this hotel. Around 1 km walk from Kyoto Station. Breakfast was good, bed was comfy, and I loved the natural feel — zen garden, onsen, and the hotel smells nice too.

If you are planing a cheap hotel near Kyoto I recommend this one. Literally the hotel is in the station just get the elevator and go down and there you go you arrive attge station and after 2 stops 9 minutes you arrive at Kyoto station.

Located behind the JR station which could take you to anywhere outside the town. Need to walk to other location within the town as there's no connecting train. The hotel is rather old but is ok to stay at affordable price. A restraurant within the hotel that serve good food.

The location right next to the station is super convenient. The front desk staff were also excellent.

Great stay! Very convenient location close to the station.

Great location and nice room. Breakfast is pretty good too.

The location is great, but the hotel is quite old and the decor is showing its age.

This is a clean, standard business hotel with complimentary coffee. It was very convenient to have a coin parking lot right next door, as I drove there. I might have just missed them, but I didn't see any convenience stores or train stations nearby. However, if you take a taxi, it's a convenient location to reach both Gion and Kyoto Station. Most of the guests were foreigners, and perhaps by chance...

Clean and spacious, with a quiet surroundings. The front desk staff were very attentive! 👏🏻👏🏻

The location is a bit of a walk, situated between Kyoto Station and the city center, which was a slight drawback. While the lack of nearby restaurants is a disadvantage, the hotel itself is pleasant and clean, making for a comfortable stay.

Really great! Clean, comfortable, and bright! The lighting is fantastic (even captured my friend's bed🤣)

Nice location, near bus and metro station, also the receiptionist are super friendly, we can check in early even if it is 7AM. 😍🙏

I still wouldn't recommend staying here if you're driving, as parking is expensive and very limited. Housekeeping only changed the towels and made the bed, but didn't replace the mouthwash cups. On the plus side, they provided two bottles of water in the room daily. Hygiene was perfectly fine, and there was a bathtub in the room. The downsides were that transportation was a bit inconvenient, the convenience...

The hotel has an excellent location right in the city center, with everything within easy reach. It is modern, clean, and well-maintained. The breakfasts can become a bit repetitive over six days, but we were never left hungry. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The room had everything necessary, except for proper storage space. There was no wardrobe, dresser, or shelves, which was quite inconvenient...

Loved this hotel and everything about it. Rarely would I stay at a hotel again, but for Hotel Musse I will for sure return. The location is excellent, amenities are self service on the 2nd floor, love the shampoo/conditioner/body wash that the hotel provides. It’s clean and the service is friendly. 5th floor has 1 washing machine and 6th floor has 2. Only fill it up like less than halfway to ensure...

This is my favourite hotel in Kyoto.. very centrally located and right beside nikishi market

Great hotel, I really like the shower/bath room setup here. Lovely room with a window and a view (rare in Japan) on the 8th floor.

Very convenient. The staff speaks English very well. The room is large. Worth it.

Room is spacious and clean, staff is very polite. Location is very convenient, plenty of shops and subway station is very near.

Everything was very convenient. The hotel is only 5 mins walk to our metro station. Hotel was nice just the internet service was not really that fast but overall was ok.

Stayed at Park Hotel Kyoto and had a really great experience. The place had such a good vibe from the moment I arrived. The room felt very traditional and cozy, which made the stay feel even more special while being in Kyoto. Everything was clean, comfortable, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Overall, it was definitely worth staying here. If you’re looking for a place with a nice vibe and...

This hotel's prime location near the train station, drug store, supermarket, and restaurants has been praised by guests. The check-in and check-out processes have also received positive feedback. The rooms are clean and well-organised, with various sizes ranging from spacious to comfortable. The hotel's convenient amenities, efficient check-in/out, and location make it a good choice for travelers.

room is clean and service is good. hotel is ~15min walk from city centre

Overall great experience, very good location, the laundry room is handy and easy to use.

Good location and quality with reasonable price.

The environment is comfortable and clean. You can have a rest and coffee in the lobby downstairs.

Excellent location and clearness, good value for money

One of the most beautiful hotels we’ve stayed in, centrally and conveniently located. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

There are two key things to be aware of when booking this hotel: First, regarding occupancy: If you are traveling as a couple, you absolutely *must* book for two people. Even if you reserve a twin room, failure to book for two will result in an additional per-person fee and taxes being charged upon arrival. Second, concerning housekeeping: Our room was not cleaned once during our three-day stay....

A truly comfortable stay. The hotel boasts a fantastic design aesthetic, from the lobby to the rooms, seamlessly blending Japanese aesthetics with modern design. The in-room lighting is superb, and both the bed and sofa were incredibly comfortable. The space is generous enough for two people, so it never felt cramped. The location is superb; it's in a quiet area, yet just a short walk to bustling areas...

An excellent hotel. This chain is consistently reliable, so you can't go wrong. The price offers incredible value for money, especially for Kyoto. I recommend booking on a weekday. The facilities are excellent, and the rooms are spotlessly clean and tidy. It's quite popular with Western (European and American) tourists.

The bedroom was clean. I liked that they provided pajamas. The service was quite good. The location is great, right on a street with lots of shops.

Amazing location. Clean room. Helpful front desk. Room is on the smaller side for 2 people with big luggages, but for the price, it really is worth it.

Front desk staff were all very knowledgeable and friendly. Managed to check us in around less than 10mins. Very smooth check in and check out. Room was also just nice for solo travellers. Will definitely go to the same hotel on my next visit to Kyoto 😊

This hotel exceeded my expectations. It's great value for money and super convenient for shopping and dining. I'd definitely book it again if there's availability next time I'm in Kyoto. The single room wasn't small at all, and it's right near Daimaru Department Store.

The location is great, right beside the underground and JR station. There are many department stores nearby. The room is small but clean. Although you might hear thesounds from other rooms.

Nice place. Clean and easy access.

The facilities are a bit dated, but the environment is nice, the room is spacious, and the breakfast tastes great.

We appreciated that the hotel provides complimentary pick-up and drop-off service to the nearest subway station between 7:00 am and 9:00 pm. Breakfast is served in traditional Japanese style, featuring rice, grilled fish, eggs, and some vegetables. Coffee is not included and must be purchased separately from the hotel’s café. Bedroom: The tatami mats felt slightly dusty, possibly because the room...

Good foods and excellent view.

service is not detailed, , no coffee to be provided for breakfast, room is old, food is so so, hot spring is good, spacious outdoor

The free call service from the station is very convenient for travellers who come to stay but not driving. Both the breakfasts and dinners are excellent. The in-room onsen with jacuzzi and the beautiful landscape is spectacular. The public onsen is also clean and well maintained. The only flaw is tv in the room is rather old and would appreciate an upgrade.n

The hotel is slightly dated but has a strong Japanese aesthetic—stepping inside feels like entering a novel, reminiscent of a quiet rendezvous setting. We arrived after 7 p.m., by which time the hotel no longer served food, and the surrounding area was very dark and quiet, leaving Uber Eats as the only option. If you want to try the kaiseki dinner, be sure to make a reservation well in advance. The...

Convenient store and some restaurants with nice Japanese food nearby, 1 open till 12pm.. Low price good value. Laundry costs 300 yen only(wash + tumble dry) and also I can microwave food anytime. Staff are nice and helpful. Room is comfortable. I stayed 3 night and last night my room facing street. I can enjoy street view morning and night time.

Basic hotel. Comfortable and clean, decent location.

Clean and tidy room with nice breakfast. Very local cuisine style of breakfast with some western style bread.

Conveniently located, just a 2-minute walk to the subway station. The room size was perfectly adequate for one person, which is good considering Japanese rooms are typically small. The bathtub was also comfortable for a soak. The only downside was the rather mediocre breakfast.

Room is clean and hotel is near to subway station. Highly recommended to those who wanna stay in Kyoto. Free green tea and coffee available as well.

The coffee machine at the entrance offers great sports drinks that are refreshing and quench your thirst, and the service is excellent. The location is also fantastic, making it easy to quickly transfer to the subway. Plus, it's super convenient to borrow an umbrella from the front desk when it rains – huge bonus! Kyoto's cherry blossoms are also incredibly beautiful.

The location is fantastic, and public transport is incredibly convenient. A two-minute walk to the left brings you to the subway, which offers direct lines to Kyoto Station, Nara, and Uji. A ten-minute walk to the right, and you'll find bus stops with direct routes to Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) and Kiyomizu-dera. Nijo Castle is so close you can even walk there – it's unbelievably convenient! There...

The hotel is just a short walk from the subway station, which is super convenient. There's also a bus stop about 10 meters from the subway, making it really easy to get around. It only takes 25 minutes to get to Kinkaku-ji Temple. The hotel breakfast is excellent and offers a good variety. However, there's construction happening next door, so the natural light on the east side might be affected in...

For its affordable price, the facilities are decent, and the service is surprisingly good. It's a great place to stay when you're traveling.

A good place — workers on reception were helpful and kind. I liked the underground lounge zone with free drinks. Room was normal and warm. Recommend it!

We stayed 2 nights and we got a nice room on the 11th floor. Rooms are large for Japan standard, you can have space for 2 big luggage’s on the floor. Upon arrival they offered us a drink and they have a nice lounge at the basement. Room is great, bathroom was quite moldy. Staff speak very good English and the location is amazing near the shopping street area and 2 stations from Kyoto station.

very close to a bus station with a family mart right across the street, convenient location to city center, could be better with more washing machine and dryer units but front desk assisted well with clearing unclaimed laundry, very cozy room and pretty deco, free drinks in basement with a cafe to purchase drinks and food

Good location. At the front of the hotel, there is a Family Mart and it is close to the train station. The area is so nice, and there are a lot of restaurants. The service is really good, and it has a lot of amenities.

The bed was 3/5. Not comfortable enough. Everything else was fine.

The room is comfortable and clean. But the location is little bit far away from station.

The hotel offers a fantastic experience if you really want to experience the heart of Kyoto. There are plenty of restaurants nearby with a bunch of traditional Japanese cuisine. The hotel is a short walk to the train station, about 14 minutes. Taxis are also readily available outside on the street. The hotel even includes amenities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, cotton swabs, and combs in case you...

Always impressed. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

The hotel environment is quiet and elegant, with a simple yet grand decor, and great attention to detail. The room is spacious, well-equipped, and well-maintained. The bathroom is clean and odor-free. The cleaning staff were meticulous and polite, and the breakfast offered a rich variety and good taste. I had a comfortable and relaxing stay, highly recommended.

Very nice hotel. Great location as well. Hotel is clean and provide water dispenser.

Cost effective if you re here for business or stay only for a short term. The room was ok since I stayed only for a night. Easy checkin.

Great stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet at night. Convenient location with easy access to buses and Kyoto stn. Staffs were polite and helpful throughout the stay. Overall, very good value for money and would stay again.

We had a very good stay here. The location is not super central but Kyoto Station and also the city center are walkable. There is even a happy hour for guests with free alcohol.

We had a wonderful stay in this hotel during our trip at Kyoto. This hotel offers unlimited beverages at lobby which allow us to have a quick coffee or tea before day trip and a rest after whole day of outing. Highly recommend staying at this hotel.

Clean and tidy, with warm and friendly service! However, there are many restrictions on using the top-floor facilities.

The hotel is an easy walk from the station and it’s easy to access main tourist attractions from here. The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly enabling us to access the laundry facilities. There is a happy hour where drinks are free for one hour each evening, very good! Unfortunately the smell from the premises next door is very unpleasant, it wasn’t noticeable in our room thankfully...

The hotel is quite new, and the surrounding streets are clean and tidy, with a park right across the road. The room itself is well-equipped and clean. Every afternoon and evening, they have a happy hour where you can mix your own drinks, and they also provide non-alcoholic beverages and hot water. Breakfast options aren't extensive, but there's enough to fill you up. The only downside is that our room...

Please note that parking lots that are not affiliated with the company are expensive on weekends.

Nice hotel with very helpful staff.

Enjoyed small friendly restaurants around the hotel. You can go to Kyoto using public transportation easily.

Staff was very friendly and the room was quite clean. My only wish is that the Air Conditioning was a bit stronger. I am from the North and used to brutal winters. We like it cold.

The room was spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful and held our bags since we arrived in Kyoto before check in time. The hotel was conveniently located near a train station and several convenience stores. Only complaint was that the bathroom was on a steep step that was not labeled. My friend and I stumbled on it a couple times before getting used to it.

It was very clean, the staff were polite and pleasant, and I would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

My second time staying in an APA hotel. Very positive experience. The room is large enough for a solo traveler like me. The room is very quiet, comfortable and clean. The staff are friendly and professional. Great location. The hotel is very close to Kyoto Station and it’s just about seven minutes walk. Highly recommended.

Pretty close to kyoto station. Room is cheap but small. One suit case is all it takes to block the entrance. Staff was nice enough to guide me through a Suitcase transfer.

My partner and I stayed at the APA HOTEL Kyōto Eki-kita for five (5) nights in late March of 2025. The location is great - it's really close to Kyoto station and on the side with all the bigger shops. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was great. But we ran into multiple issues/ compromises that would have influenced us to stay elsewhere if we had known: 1. The room was...

Coming in to Kyoto, this was the hotel that we decided to stay in. Despite their small rooms, they are very clean. There’s no weird smell and whatnot. The services are also great. We came in a little early and they offered to hold our bags, so we can explore around the city. As we checkout (we have large luggages at the time, which was a problem as there’s no 1 day delivery due to the snow) they offered...

It was very reasonable and I was able to spend time slowly. I turned on the heating at night, but it was a little cold because the cold wind from the outside came in through the gap in the window.

The facilities are average, but the hygiene is clean and tidy. The location is great, with a shopping street nearby for food and shopping, which is very convenient. The service is pretty standard, nothing extraordinary.

Small but clean room. Bus stop and metro station are close to the hotel. Noisy from the road near the hotel.

Rooms in This hotel is quite small. But actually common in japan

The room is small but very clean. However, the location is not great.

good location, the bus stop in front of hotel. near Lawson and market. Walk until corner traffic light have a good ramen.

Decent clean rooms , fast check in process . Breakfast was affordable at 500 yen ! However there was only ONE elevator for the whole hotel and it can be very slow during the busy periods Found a recommended supplement to help with sleep !
