I especially love the fragrant POLA toiletries they provide, and the bath salts are also lovely for a very comfortable bath in the evening
Overlooking lake biwa room! From far you could also see the snow mountain ! You can walk around the lake in the morning!
The lakeside room is incomparable to general street view or building view hotels, giving guests the feeling of exceptional value. It is difficult to find such spacious rooms at the same price in other hotels in Japan
This hotel faces Lake Biwa directly, offering fantastic views. It's conveniently located near a supermarket and a popular duck meat soba restaurant by the lake. The hotel's shuttle bus is also very convenient
Hotel Otsu Biwako was absolutely superb in terms of both facilities and service. It was the most satisfying hotel stay during my entire trip to Japan. We were given a high-floor room with a delightful view
Aircon in room wasn’t that cool as it could get stuffy with 4 people in the room. Little dated hotel but good for staying a night or 2. Parking was free when signed up with their free membership program

Only fall short in terms of amenities. Only very basic standard items such as comb, face wash. Disappointed that it doesn’t provide items such as mouthwash, onzen bath powder, facial mask
Received the beat customer service. Rooms are small but well formed and very clean. Only critism too hot in the room, but once you open the window, it is fine
Extremely good breakfast buffet spread and sufficient varieties for vegetarian travellers at JPY1,980 after tax
2nd floor onzen opening hours are long enough to accommodate guests’ travelling plans/schedules (6am to 9am & 4pm to 1am). Great location and hassle free self check in and check out process. Room is small but comfortable
The new annex has a free public bath on the second floor; you need your room key to enter, and women also have an additional code. After a day of exploring, the public bath was our favorite place to relax every evening
We took the bus from Osaka Kansai Airport, and it dropped us off right across from the hotel, which was incredibly convenient. The hotel has an main building and a new annex

Great location and extremely nice hotel. For anyone worried about staying at a train station, the station is one of the nicest places I've ever seen. It's close to everything and the staff is very kind
Super great location, one minute walk to kyoto station. Spacious room, feeling Comfortable.
The night view from the window was fantastic; from our room, we could see the railway lines of Kyoto Station, and I imagine the Kyoto Tower would be visible from the other side. It seems the swimming pool has a fee
When we checked out, my son forgot his watch in the room. After contacting Ctrip, the hotel located it and held it at the front desk. When we went to pick it up, they had even packaged it nicely in a bag for us
The location is incredibly convenient, right on the second floor of Kyoto Station. Every time we exited the subway, we were practically at the hotel, which was super handy
The room itself was quite spacious, with a business-like aesthetic

Also can’t/won’t accept our luggage a day before check-in, which was a bit inconvenient compared to other hotels we’ve stayed at in Japan who happily accepted our luggage two days prior
In fact when we tried to extend our stay, they told us that the hotel was fully booked. However I found availability online and managed to book through there. The smaller rooms are definitely tight but well kept
We had a comfortable stay overall at Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto. The staff were professional and polite, and the hotel is conveniently located close to the station, easy to get around
The entrance and ground floor assist to be renovated and quite modern. Rooms are old school decor wise but very comfortable. Great location, Close to kyoto station via a pedestrian shortcut
Overall, this hotel is pretty good. My only minor complaint is that I wasn't informed about the two breakfast areas upon check-in
There’s a complimentary shuttle service to and from the hotel to the station. That said, some areas could be improved. The bathroom felt quite dated and could really use a reno

An absolutely wonderful hotel! It's clean, hygienic, beautiful, and elegantly simple. The hotel's interior environment is excellent. The staff are very patient and enthusiastic, a truly professional service team
The room was very quiet, and the breakfast offered a choice of Japanese and Western buffets. There's a souvenir shop next to the lobby that closes at 5 PM, where you can buy gifts
My room included executive lounge access, offering snacks, drinks, coffee, tea, and alcohol – a great place to sit and relax. The room facilities were meticulously maintained, and all appliances were quiet
The room was okay; it didn't have a separate shower and toilet area, but it was clean and the decor wasn't bad. The lobby was quite grand, and the service was good – they even offered room service!
Had a great 3 night stay. Booked the premium room with access to the lounge with drinks & snacks. The shuttle service to and from Kyoto is very convenient.
It might be the off-season, so the price was really good. Check-in was at 2 PM, an hour earlier than most hotels, and I could extend check-out until noon

While there was some kind of pump or utility hub just outside the window, making it too noisy to open for fresh air, the floor-to-ceiling windows offered a beautiful view
Despite being away from the city they charge for parking and also despite being a platinum elite member no benefits extended. They were pretty stuck about everything and I did not enjoy the lack of care
The location is quiet, the hotel environment is excellent, and the service is very professional. The rooms are spacious with great views, and opening the window lets in fresh air. The welcome gift was a pleasant surprise
The environment here is great, very tidy and clean. The breakfast was delicious, and the location is super convenient for visiting nearby temples. Getting around by subway is also very easy
It's a bit far from Kyoto's main attractions, and dining options nearby aren't very convenient. The luggage delivery service to Kyoto Station was very thoughtful (and inexpensive)
Excellent! The room was very spacious and clean. The front desk service was also great. This was the most satisfying stay during my trip to Japan.

Thanks to the hotel for giving this 'maple leaf refugee' an unforgettable memory!
The hotel's hot spring was great, and the breakfast tasted good, though it got a bit repetitive after four days 😂
For those reading this, here's a bonus tip: the furisode at the costume shop opposite Yuanshan Park are super cheap, highly recommended!
Finally, it's a shame I still couldn't make it to Kibune-Sanzen (°ー...
Though they still are in good condition, I don’t really know what happened within such a short time as the beginning and ending of 2017, where the supplies provided before, a full set of Shiseido body wash travelers’ set, now is gone as I came in December the same year
The hotel is incredibly well-located, just 200 meters from a subway station. A large supermarket is also conveniently situated about 200 meters to the right, and there's even another supermarket down a nearby alley
It's also not far from Nishiki Market and the shopping street, making it an excellent location. There's a free spa on the top floor, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The hotel even has its own chapel
It was beautifully decorated with European and classy style. Take Exit 5 via Kyoto Ace hotel B2 life up to ground floor when you have luggages as JP mostly come with staircases
The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the hot spring on the 13th floor was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Kyoto

The hotel lobby is big and bright. The hotel offers tea bags and toiletries at the lobby for you to take to your room. The hotel staff are friendly and professional. The location of the hotel is very convenient
Even though it's quite old, the service is excellent and very professional. I stayed for 2 or 3 nights, and overall it was decent 😌. Facilities: Average
Cleanliness: Good
Ambiance: Okay
Service: Excellent
The rooms were decent, clean, and the breakfast offered a wide variety of choices. The location is excellent, right across the street from Kyoto Station, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient
Old hotel, still using manual key but good enough and clean. Room is big enough for luggages to open and store. Location is superb across the Kyoto Station next to Kyoto Tower
The only downside was parking; getting into the garage was a bit of a hassle as we had to wait for a lobby attendant to operate the elevator every time
Excellent location. Easy to find and get around from hotel. Warm reception and staff. Clean room. Will return again :)

We came to Kyoto for three nights and checked into this wonderful hotel
It's within walking distance of a very large and bustling train station filled with shops, perfect for buying souvenirs, for example! There's also a shopping mall near the hotel, though we never made it there
However, the air conditioning in the dining area is incredibly strong; everyone was freezing, and some even came down in their jackets. We wore warm hoodies and still felt cold, which was uncomfortable
About a 10min walk from Kyoto Station. Room for one in the main building was the standard business hotel (Bed, table/desk, bathroom). Also has a side building/annex but not sure of the rooms there
its a little walking distance from the Kyoto station but closer to the other metro station. the facility has common bath and a massage place. Its relatively clean and the stay was good.
I was able to get rid of my large suitcase that I dragged around for 2 weeks and sent it to Haneda Airport allowing me to travel light for my last week which I was super grateful for

The hotel service was excellent, truly a luxury experience. It has a swimming pool, gym, and hot springs, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed during our two-day stay
queit location to enjoy the authenticity of kyoto. it has everything we need, a well equipped gym, good size indoor pool and a hotpring spa. we had a room with terrace overlooking the city
You can access beautiful gardens directly from the hotel's central area, and the hotel's onsen hot springs are also very good. Breakfast is abundant with great views too. Overall, it exudes a classic sense of luxury
The hotel is also less than two kilometers from Kiyomizu-dera Temple, so it's an easy walk. The surrounding area is beautiful too, with a lovely free park nearby, and the hotel even has its own back mountain
The Junior Suite is great!
The room is spacious with a fabulous countryside and temple view, the welcoming snacks and water are warm and sweet. Shuttle Bus service and Family Mart is convenient
A big plus is the free shuttle service to and from Kyoto Metro Station, which was incredibly convenient. The shuttle even makes free stops at attractions along the way, which was super handy

Convenient central Kyoto location, next to subway station and in close proximity to many local attractions. If you a keen runner, there is a beautiful run and walking route around the river and map is provided by hotel
Traveling to Kyoto with my family, choosing to stay here was definitely the right decision. The hotel offers a shuttle service to and from Kyoto Station, which is incredibly convenient
The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming; we weren't sure how to get to the lobby for check-in from a shop in the mall, and a staff member from the shop actually escorted us there
The hotel staff, just like in a standard five-star hotel back home, helped us with our luggage, which is quite rare for the five-star hotels we've stayed at a few times in Japan
The buffet breakfast is on the 17th floor, offering lovely views of Higashiyama and the Kamo River. The breakfast spread is quite extensive and the quality is good
We recommended this hotel to all kinds of travelers from nearby beautiful places and shopping areas spacious room, delicious meals and good services

The environment is great, very clean, and getting around is quite convenient. It's not far from the subway station, and there's a convenience store right outside. The surrounding area is relatively quiet
Great value for money, the room was spacious, and it's close to the subway station. There's a 7-Eleven right downstairs, and it's relatively quiet since it's not facing the main road.
A key advantage of the property is its convenient location in close proximity to the train station, offering easy access to transportation links
The hotel room is compact in size, yet it is well-maintained and kept meticulously tidy
The hotel is conveniently located about 70 meters after crossing the road from Exit 3-2 of the subway station, which has an elevator. The room size is quite spacious for Japan
Good location. You can use exit3-2 which has elevator to carry baggage.

The room was very clean, compact as always, and the bathroom had a bathtub 🛁. The location is excellent; the bus stop downstairs goes to all the main attractions

Amazing service and room is large enough to stay comfortably in. Compared to hotels in Tokyo, it's heaven. Lots of nice facilities including daily welcome drinks, spacious common areas and onsen pools
I enjoyed every moment in the hotel. They've a restaurant with really nice breakfast and in the evening, they've live singing a well. It's just about 10 minutes from the train station by a slow walk
I stayed for five nights, and this was hands down the best hotel during my entire 20-day trip to Japan. The room was spacious and even had a balcony, offering excellent value for money
I'm sure there's a lot more to discover about the hotel which I've not explored. But if i ever come back to Kyoto, this will be the hotel i book
Great service and location, near to train and Kyoto tower. Will book again when visit Kyoto.
Near to Kyoto JR station ..near shopping mall like aeon mall ..plenty of eateries nearby

In a central yet quiet location next to shijo station (the main subway station in Kyoto), the triple bed rooms are massive, not just by Japanese standards but in general as well, with an amazing Vista on mount hiei and the surrounding eastern kyoto mountains
The walk to the hotel is inconvenient if we have big luggages. The hotel room is old but we love the room space. With 3 beds, we have plenty of walking space. We enjoyed the spacious bathroom
The hotel staffs should proactively ask if we are member of its hotel group. We bought souvenirs and forgot to show our member to get a discount
The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient to get around. The service was warm and attentive, and the food was also good
The staff were super friendly and helpful; they even offered me an umbrella when it rained without asking for my room number, which was a lovely gesture and reminded me of the grand service of yesteryear
The breakfast offered both Japanese and Western options, and the Japanese breakfast was truly fantastic. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Kyoto

There's a laundry room with a dryer available. The complimentary skincare products are excellent; they're very moisturizing
Ctrip's ratings are definitely a reliable guide!
Don’t miss breakfast! It’s really good
Saw the hotel right outside the subway exit and didn't want to drag my luggage around looking for another place. The location is super convenient, and the price was a great deal – the cheapest hotel I booked this week
Booked a triple room this time, and I'm really happy with the atmosphere here. It's super spacious! I slept very comfortably. They offer complimentary drinks and coffee in the pantry until 11 PM
They did provide a while range of selections - even ungai! Unfortunately, I didn’t really like the pillow/bed as I couldn’t sleep well. Overall, it is value for money so I might come back

They leave a bag on your door every day with a fresh bath towel, coffee and cup for the coffee maker; and you can use that bag to leave your used towel items to put outside your door for them to pick up
Likes:
- Excellent location in Gion; right by the Gion bus stop; lots of places to eat/shop; a few steps away from the Yasaka Shrine and other landmarks
- They give cute little things like a foldable comb and a nice wash towel (which I never got in any other hotel)
- There's a press for pants on every floor
- Water is replenished daily
- Coffee is Starbucks Dolce pods
- Comfy beds and nice pillows...
Location is great - right the middle of downtown.
I think that is a great system. The room was cozy and just enjoy for my husband and I. He especially loved that you can adjust and turn the lights off/on directly from the headboard - very convenient!
One of the better APA hotels we have stayed at. We were originally in a smoking room. But they were able to switch us to a non-smoking room. We were very pleased with the rest of our stay there
The rooms were good size for two with overhead size luggage. No sense of overcrowded. Its located on the touristy part of Kyoto so expect crowds

The room, though small, was perfectly adequate for one person. The next morning, I woke up to snow and went to a coffee shop across the street for breakfast. The coffee and toast set for 480 yen was quite good!
My daughters and I enjoyed our stay at Karasuma Kyoto Hotel. The staff were friendly and accomodating. The restaurant buffet was delicious and had a wide variety of cuisines. The rooms were a bit small but comfortable
I found this hotel after I searched for hotel that very convenient for my parents and location of this hotel was incredible. Very large hotel with large room too. Price was also valuable for size and location
Always a great stay! The location is super convenient, making it easy to get anywhere. There's a Starbucks right outside the hotel, which was perfect for a hot latte on a cold day – very nice
The location is absolutely fantastic. Right outside the hotel, you have access to the subway and Hankyu line, and there are convenient bus routes to various attractions
The hotel's location is fantastic; it's right outside the elevator at Karasuma subway station. The room is a good size and even has a sofa

Breakfast was excellent, offering a generous spread of both Japanese and Western options. We stayed for several days and would highly recommend it
Every time I visit Kyoto these past few years, I always stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, right in Sanjo Kawaramachi, very close to the Kamo River. There are tons of shopping and dining options nearby
Every day they give you a complimentary bottle of water, which is a nice touch. Super nice amenities! The shower was great, and I loved the lavender shampoo and conditioner
My stay here was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I stepped in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and provided attentive service throughout, always going above and beyond to assist with any request
The only downside was the limited space beside the sink for cosmetics. The bed was very comfortable, though I wasn’t a big fan of the pillow since it didn’t have much shape (my husband actually liked it)
A good place, in the middle of Nishiki market. Close to the subway, lots of shops, but very touristic. Hôtel is quiet, modern, service is great. I recommend for a first visit in Kyoto.

This was my boyfriend’s first time visiting Japan, and we came to Kyoto for sightseeing. The hotel staff were kind, and at check-in they upgraded us to a room on a newly renovated floor
We would definitely love to stay here again the next time we visit Kyoto. Special thanks to the bus drivers and to Mr. Nishimura at the front desk for their kindness and support
Even for me, living in Tokyo, the interior design and the hospitality of the staff really made me feel the true essence of Kyoto, and it became a wonderful memory for us
The room was very spacious for two people, and the view from the room was amazing
We absolutely loved the bathroom layout and how spacious it was!
The area is very quiet and tranquil. The train station is located nearby and easy to get to with several restaurants in the area
The hotel is located in the city center, directly opposite the tourist attraction Nijo Castle. It is relatively quiet despite being in a lively area. It is close to a subway station
