Hotels in Kyoto

THE POCKET HOTEL Kyoto is suitable if you are looking for a simple place just to sleep. The room is very small, typical of budget hotels in Japan, and only really comfortable for resting. If you want to open your luggage, it’s best to bring a cabin-size suitcase, as there is very limited space. The bathroom is shared, which can be a bit inconvenient, especially if your room and the bathroom are on...

Stayed from 12 to 16 of March Good location near the subway and the market. The hotel was nice and quiet and I stayed at the female only section. You had to use your card so I felt very safe. The communal bathroom was clean and organized. There are pajamas and many amenities next to the front desk that was very convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms are small but comfortable and...

Good location near Nishiki market. The rooms are expectedly small, but clean and they provide fresh towels every day. The shower/bathroom facilities are always clean and comfortable to use. I appreciated the women’s only floor.

Very convenient location, the hotel service is super excellent. Prepare a lot of guidance (tourist spot or food spot) for tourist. Room is clean and facility all good.

it clean, bright for both the , room and toilet. the room was small but feel very comfortable. they have private female use toilet located onnthe 3rd floor. it safe as u near room card to access to the lift and toilet. it location is great with branded shopping and near to the nishik market. can find vegetarian/vegan restaurant around the hotel

Was a lovely stay, the hotel felt extremely clean, well managed and very safe. The rooms were small but cozy, the toilets and shared bathrooms were clean with good vibes all around, the location was great being smack bang in the middle of down town Kyoto. And they give you very comfy pyjamas. The hotel requires you to have a room keycard to even use the elevator so the security of the guests are tight...

Awesome hotel at excellent location. Stylish and classy, full of heritage yet modern inside. Great service from the staff. Wonderful main garden inside.

Outstanding traditional hotel within which to feel the Kyoto vibe. Extremely friendly staff and well appointed rooms

This is the most satisfying hotel I've ever stayed in, and of course, the price reflects that. I would definitely choose it again if I came back. It's truly top-notch in every aspect, and the photos turn out beautifully. You can contact the hotel to arrange for a photographer to come in for a shoot.

I will never book a hotel through Trip again. I don't usually write reviews, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to write about this, but I'm leaving this so that no one else experiences the same problem. During my recent stay, I received a call from Trip a few hours before check-in. They contacted me to inform me that my reservation for room [101] had not actually been made. The Trip representative...

A very comfortable hotel. The breakfast was especially plentiful and exquisite. The room was beautifully decorated with a Zen-like window view. The tatami mats were very comfortable to sleep on, and the soothing music in the room was particularly good!

A fantastic hotel, a small-scale luxury hotel under the SLH brand, where you can experience the exquisite service of Japan. Each room has a slightly different style and view. I booked the cheapest room, the new wing, for 210 yen. The room wasn't large, and the view was decent, but it was still quite comfortable, especially the bathtub. Happy hour is from 5-6 pm daily, with complimentary drinks, including...

Great value for the price , room is decent and location wise is convenient as i am here for business meeting in the nearby neighborhood

Everything about this hotel was terrific. All of the staff were kind and extremely helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was wonderful, and the laundry room easy to use. We couldn’t be happier with this stay.

I would describe our overall experience as disappointing, largely due to the poor attitude of the female front desk staff. The hotel itself has some positives — the location is convenient and the room is relatively spacious. However, there are also noticeable issues with maintenance. The corridors and lifts have an unpleasant smell, and the laundry room is poorly kept, with visible dust in both the...

Room is too small for 3 people even though they have 3 separate beds. Barely space to open a big suitcase. No bottled water provided in the room even though they offer 24hr drinks in the lobby. No daily cleaning service, only every 3 days. Location is close to train station and walkable to Gion tourist places.

Choosing this hotel for my Kyoto trip was a brilliant decision! The overall ambiance is elegant and thoughtful, but I especially want to rave about the self-service drink machine in the lobby – it was such a delightful little bonus during my travels. The machine itself is sleek and blends perfectly with the hotel's style. The drink selection is incredibly diverse, from ice-cold sodas to warm beverages...

Koko Hotel Sanjo was at a convenient location with friendly and helpful receptionist staff who helped us greatly, including sending our luggages to our next hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the lobby is lovely and well decorated. The one gripe I have is that they do not have a water dispenser for topping up our bottles and we had to buy our own drinking water.

The hotel is beautiful, with excellent staff, delicious coffee, and great tea. The rosemary-infused water is a nice touch – overall, it's a stylish and modern hotel with a Kyoto vibe. However, I was a bit bothered that my room didn't have a window and the toilet and bathroom were separate. I found that a bit uncomfortable for a hotel room. On the plus side, it's very conveniently located near a park...

Shared with 4 pax in a family with a toddler 2 yo. Love the design of the room. Toilet was very good and comfortable. It's a little secluded but that's what we preferred yet the location is convenient.

Overall, the room was good, primarily due to its excellent location very close to the subway. The room was a bit small, but the wet/dry separation in the shower and toilet area was definitely a big plus, and it was genuinely very clean. The only minor inconvenience was being assigned a room right next to the elevator. Overall, a positive experience!

Superb Japanese Experience, Unbeatable Location! The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, surrounded by countless restaurants, cafes, and traditional shops, making it ideal for both sightseeing and evening strolls. While compact, the rooms are cozy and comfortable. They perfectly blend traditional tatami mats with modern amenities, preserving Japanese charm while ensuring practicality. The...

The room was clean and nice, and I was very satisfied! The unlimited tea and water was great! I would like to stay again!

Last year we stayed in a quad room, but the room was small and the lighting was not good. This year we stayed in a triple room, which was actually quite spacious and had good lighting. Although the receptionist was nice, the Wi-Fi in our room (418) had almost no signal from the first day of our stay. We reported it twice, but the problem was not solved until we left on the fourth day. This was the...

Super nice hotel, staffs are kind, can speak and understand English. River view room, nice environment, clean and tidy.

The hotel is very quiet, in Shirakawa next to the Kamogawa River, with convenient dining options and convenience stores nearby, and a few minutes' walk from the Hankyu Line station

I have been to Japan many times before, and the hotels I booked for hundreds to thousands of yuan were better than this hotel. First of all, we arrived at the hotel in the morning on the day of check-in, but we were given a room on the first floor next to the front desk. I said that I had trouble sleeping and hoped to change to a quiet room upstairs. The front desk clerk asked the leader and told me...

The room is relatively large and the transportation is quite convenient. The vibration of the subway downstairs is too obvious. If you pay attention to it, you will feel very uncomfortable. The attitude of the front desk customer service is not good. For a room rate of more than 2,000 yuan, the service level of three stars is really not good.

1. The hotel is located on the edge of the Kamo River, quiet in the bustling city. It is within a 5-minute walk from the subway station and the bus station, and the location is quite advantageous. Convenience stores and restaurants are all available nearby 2. The room is very clean, and the facilities such as bathing are particularly convenient. The deodorant in the room is available, as well as razors...

Very satisfactory hotel! The overall decoration is exquisite, the design is classical and elegant, especially the toilet and bathroom equipment are great! The windows are very soundproof! The hygiene is very clean. There is Chinese service at the front desk, and breakfast is delivered to the room on time. The taste is good, fresh and rich. The transportation is also very convenient. I recommend friends...

The terrace room has a stunning view of the garden and distant mountains! The welcome drink was also delicious! It's very quiet at night around here, and there aren't many streetlights, so there's not much to buy, but it's very relaxing!

The room was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. The breakfast was small but excellent. For a hotel in Japan, this one is very comfortable. It has a balcony where you can watch the stream, which is very relaxing. The location is also great.

unbeatable location, with the famous arabica coffee with 30 meters and 渡月桥 in 100 meter, and a well designed and artistic hotel

Muni hospitality, thoughtfulness can be felt in their service delivery, layout and design. We felt very comforting when the front desk officer Akemi Shibuta was concern due to our late arrival without any upfront notice that food options will be limited and sent us an email to check in on us. Also on our checked out date, they also accompanied us to outside of hotel lobby and sent us out. They ensured...

I absolutely loved the view from this place. The service was so-so, but the hotel itself was beautiful.

Love the design of the hotel, and view from 2nd floor room is simply awesome.

The location is excellent, close to the metro station, and the accommodation is clean. It was raining when I left, and the receptionist even gave me an umbrella to shield me from the rain; I was extremely grateful. Highly recommended accommodation.

Great location nearby the station and room are clean. Would love to visit again in the future.

Its discouner hotel, Near Kyoto Station, self check-in, self lagguagge storage, room with TV, water boil, mini bar, hair dryer, veru clean, microwave and washing machine at reception

Polite, friendly staff, the room is clean, there is enough space and everything you need. If there was a second chair, an iron and ironing room, and a microwave not right at the entrance to the hotel, it would be perfect.

Very basic and a good distance from the train station. Had everything we needed and great for a one night stay.

very good place to stay, have bath tub and location is also convinient. The only thing is checkin time is 4pm, not okay for early arrival they dont even provide toilet for their guests until u got into the room!

I was wondering if it would be possible to offer a few more breakfast options. That said, everything was excellent and you are doing a wonderful job. This ryokan is definitely one of the best choices for anyone who wants to experience Japanese culture. Thank you so much. See you next time.

Extremely nice customer service, even for Japan. Location is also really excellent, with the main train/bus/subway point for Kyoto right across the street. The onsen is actually four separate ones (two for men, two for women) and is open till midnight, which means it was never crowded. When I went, I had the onsen to myself. Front desk was very proactive in asking about breakfast, room cleaning...

Pleasant place. Japanese style. There's an onsen.

Right across from Kyoto Station, and there's an Ito Kyuemon on the first floor. Plus, you can access the department store food court through the underground shopping street – super convenient! The decor has a distinct school trip vibe.

The staff were so sweet and friendly! Some were able to speak English and those that couldn’t still tried their best to be helpful!

A memorable stay thanks to the kind staff. The location alone makes this a great place to stay, and the friendly staff made our trip even more pleasant. However, the room was cold (I didn't ask about extra heating options), and I thought the bathroom cleaning could use a bit more attention. Overall, it was a memorable experience because of the staff. Thank you.

Good and a quite place to stay

A really mixed experience - some great things to recommend this place and some quite poor things you should know about. Like some other guests before us it seems, we also did not receive a PIN code before we got there and so had no way to get in to the building let alone our room. Didn't even know we needed a code except other guests told us after we arrived. Took quite a while to get a response...

The room is big for 4 adults. Microwave and toaster. Full fridge shower was big and has laundry machine in room. The clothes will not dry completely. You need to hang them but there was many hang her. My only complaint was the AC. It was Soo loud! Sounded like there was a hurican in our room.

Great stylish hotel, great location, everything is clean, there is even a Dyson hairdryer, I recommend it.

Very spacious and not bad. Just when we were checking in, an old Japanese lady came out of the alley and started chirping at us. She must have been cursing. Inexplicably, she replied "Baga" and left.

The location is very good and the room is OK, but there is no elevator and it is inconvenient to carry luggage.

It was a pleasant stay! All of the staffs were professional and polite. Definitely recommend this place anyone. Will definitely plan a trip and come back!

Got a free room upgrade. Even though the room didn't have an openable window, it wasn't an issue this time of year. The bathtub was huge, and the hotel is very close to Nijo Castle, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. They even gave us traditional Japanese sweets (wagashi) and matcha. Breakfast was excellent, but I skipped the salmon since I don't eat seafood.

I felt cheated staying in this hotel. It was a small box-like building with no public places. It didn't match the photos I saw when booking. There were several lime peeling off the walls of the room. Because it was adjacent to the bathroom area, there was no door between the bathroom area and the bedroom. If you were taking a shower, you would be exposed once you opened the door! The most incredible...

Very safe and private hotel, very close to Nijo Castle, 7 minutes walk to Karasuma Subway Station, there are many convenience stores next to the hotel, as well as local vegetable shops and bakeries, very convenient for daily shopping

The hotel design is simple and beautiful, and the lobby and rooms have a sense of design. The hotel is in an excellent location, only a few minutes walk to the downtown area I will stay here again next time I come to Kyoto. .

Parking is available at the new hotel location and is more expensive.

Extremely satisfied! The room was superb, and the service was top-notch. I'd definitely go back if I have the chance.

We just finished our stay at Seikoro Ryokan. It was hands down the best experience of our visit to Japan and I highly recommend it to anyone staying in Kyoto. The hospitality, care, and overall execution was perfect. Our hosts and attendant were kind, professional, and saw to every detail with perfection. We loved our room. We loved our Japanese breakfast. We loved the people who became part...

What an unbelievable experience. The service was the best I’ve had in the WORLD. The people are so kind, they wait on you hand and foot. The building is a traditional almost 200 year old building and experience is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Walkability was really good too. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness. We will be back one day!! -From USA

Seikoro is pure bliss. Amazing service, great authentic Japanese food for both breakfast and dinner plus convenient location. Loved everything about this place and will definitely return!

Wow that was incredible!! The room was amazing ( clean, big and pretty ) they have traditional mattresses but they also have beds. The bathrooms are traditional Japanese bahtroom ( shower, toilets) the staff there is lovely and so kind( when you leave for the day they continue to wave at you until you cannot see you anymore) the food there is so good ( for dinner you get traditional Japanese food which...

It is quite pricey but service is great 👍 Lived in Japan for two years long time ago so was rusty on the Japanese as I'm in the UK now so might have had some mis-understanding. But our understanding of Japanese is fine 👀🫣😬 if spoken slowly. Was in travel mode so we didn't explain ish. We stayed in room 16 and had dinner and breakfast there. Would recommend 👍 our room attendant is very good 👍😊! Very...

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...

Had a very pleasant stay here at eph Kyoto. Room is spacious and clean. Service was really great here too!

Less than 7 minutes walk to Kyoto Station, for you to take a bus or train. Room is great too, with a small well-equipped kitchen, and surprisingly a well-sized bathroom too.

We had a ground floor room with kitchen and laundry facilties. These were handy. Tho room was spacious and new. The shower had more dials than a pilot's cockpit and was fantastic once worked out. Breakfast was served fresh daily to the table and a small buffet selection was available. It was more than adequate and their coffee machine produced lattes that made Starbucks taste like dishwater. Staff...

Very nice room with washer, microwave. Very nice and spacious shower, comfortable beds. Super good location, close to Kyoto station and with lots of greats restaurants close by. Staff is also super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is on the simpler side.

Our room was nice and clean. I was surprised of how spacious the room was. They even had a Dyson hairdryer! Toiletries and pjs was provided. In the reception area, you can grab additional toiletries, face lotions and masks. We would definitely come back and stay here.

Extra charge for exceeding the time limit

Really well located, beautifully appointed hotel

Great service and a very spacious room!

The room was spacious enough and very comfortable. The hinoki cypress bath smelled amazing, it was the best! Plus, there was a sake lounge where I could enjoy many different varieties. 🙌

Hotel is clean and comfortable. Only downside is the train is relatively far

Super duper love this hotel! There’s free flow sake till 9pm daily. We stayed there for 6 nights and enjoyed sake almost every night. We even bought a box of sake when we checked out :) The room was big and comfy. There’s a washing machine inside the room, very convenient. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Kyoto next time 🙂

It was very quiet and comfortable. The bath was lovely, and it made for a wonderful memory!

Had a great stay. There was a mix up with my original booking at their other location a few minutes away, they quickly made it right by upgrading the room, moving me this location. The staff were exceptional and helped every step of the way. The room was clean, everything worked, the pillows were great quality. Perfect location. I enjoyed my stay here.

The hotel, location, and amenities were great. Staff at the front desk spoke great English and the luggage forwarding was a fantastic touch. The room was spacious and comfortable. There was an event organized where we could meet a maiko, talk and ask her questions which was such a fun event

The hotel is located very conveniently in Kyoto, in a quiet area of Gion. The room is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. However, the major setback for us was the breakfast. It is a Japanese style breakfast which is not made fresh. We saw them taking out the different ingredients from take-out containers and plating them the night before. We even skipped on breakfast we had already paid for since...

Very satisfied, second stay, as warm as ever.

Hotel say have gym, but actually the gym is 15min away walking and you have to pay. Just say you dont have a gym if you dont have

Hotel say have gym, but actually the gym is 15min away walking and you have to pay. Just say you dont have a gym if you dont have

Beautiful boutique hotel in downtown Shijo. Friendly, helpful staff. Walking distance to everything.

Great location! The staff are so welcoming and kind. The rooms are absolutely awesome! Huge bathroom and bathtub! So sleek and chic.

Big rooms and easy access to everything

The reception was very professional and neat, the room was very nice and luxurious. A very nice stay!! And the location is perfect.

Unfortunately, the hotel has deteriorated significantly. There are problems with damp and mold. It seems they're skimping on the air conditioning. Apparently, it doesn't get any more humid when the room is empty. I had booked a family suite and had plenty of space. However, the bathroom is one floor below. This bathroom stinks and has damp damage. There are also small animals in it. The management...

The room was spacious and the staff were very friendly. I'd like to stay again.

Nice and clean hotel. Exactly what yiu expect for the price point.

⸻ I stayed at M’s Hotel Kyoto Station Kizuya, which is about a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station. The location is quite convenient, especially if you are traveling with a large suitcase, since luggage is generally not allowed on Kyoto city buses. Walking from the station is therefore a practical option. The hotel is located in a quiet neighbourhood, which I really liked. There are bus stops within...

The room was really clean. However, the front desk system was quite confusing. It seemed self-service but wasn't, and sometimes there was only one person at the front desk or no one at all, which made the service quite inefficient.

Room is clean and okay, small but manageable to open all luggage. Toilet fit size with woman but small for male. Location is in walking distance but around the hotel is the local’s house, peaceful but need to walk for travel and food.

The room is quite good; it's big enough to keep a suitcase open, which isn't common in Japan. The bathroom has a tub with hot water and good pressure, perfect for showering. The location is about a 10-15 minute walk from Kyoto Station. Within a 5-minute walk, there are several convenience stores. The only drawback I'd mention is that they don't clean the room daily, only on the 4th day of your stay...

It's very quiet, just a bit far from the station. If you're not too familiar with Kyoto, you might have to search for a while to find it. However, the hotel and room are still very comfortable and clean.

Banda Down the beat hotel ever. Traditional interior and breakfast truly are the most marvelous experience you can ever wish for. The stuff is very kind and helpful. Everyone should stay in a Ryokan at least once in their lives.

The hotel rooms are generally too small and compact. There is a local cemetery behind it. It is not recommended to stay there. It is also difficult to find. It is located in a small alley with poor signage. It is not recommended to stay there.

Communication was effortless as all staff members spoke excellent English. The location is truly unbeatable; Yasaka Shrine (under a 5-minute walk), Hokanji Temple (10-minute walk), and Kodai-ji Temple are all within easy walking distance. There are also many charming little restaurants in the vicinity. Though close to the main shopping district, I appreciated the peaceful and relaxed ambiance, a welcome...

The location is superb, just a stone's throw from Ninen-zaka and Sannen-zaka. It's perfect for evening strolls and photos, as it's less crowded and the views are stunning. The room itself was spotless, though the facilities felt a little dated. Overall, I was very happy with my stay and would definitely recommend it.

The hotel's location isn't ideal, and the rest of the experience was quite mediocre. I wouldn't recommend it.

Excellent location Hotel is very nice .

The hotel is conveniently located near Nijo Station, and we found it without any trouble. The room was a bit small; our suitcases fit, but we would have preferred more space. On the other hand, for four people, we could have booked two rooms, of course! On the ground floor, near the reception, you can enjoy tea in the morning. There are small cafes next to the hotel, so finding food is easy. Close...

The hotel is nice and simple. The double bed was comfortable however the bedroom is was really small. Is located nearby Nijo station, I will choose another location to stay next time in Kyoto.

Very enjoyable stay, nothing major to complain about, good price, would recommend.

Walking distance to train stations, donki and dontomburi tourist attraction sites. The hotel is self serve mainly but has laundry and kitchen which was nice :)

The room was clean and the self-service experience was great. I'd definitely consider staying here again next time, and the location is convenient for getting around.

I like my staying in Kyoto here, comfortable room with all nessesary things for resting, especially the dryer in the bathroom, very friendly personnel. For me location was convenient, bus stop and station, castle and the park nearby.

Not very close to Kyoto station ngl . You have to walk like 10-15mins . But close to 九条 station(but no elevator). The bed sheet was a little bit dirty..

Very clean nice but i litte bite confuse about the key😅

Good location and good service. It’s easy to access Fushimi Inari Shrine and Tofuku-ji Temple.

We stayed at this hotel during for two nights. 15 minutes walk from Kyoto station. The room is small, but quite clean. Friendly staff all time, no issue during our stay. Breakfast has a small but pleasant selection of food, including self cooking noodle bar and curry rice. I also noticed that they change some menu items daily. This property is good money worth choice.

Staff are friendly & warm welcome. Room cleaning was done as scheduled.

Enjoyed the free drink station and place to eat food. Didn’t like how they won’t clean your room if you stay under 3 nights.
