Spa-Hotels in Kyoto

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. Only fall short in terms of amenities. Only very basic standard items...

Service was good. The hotel comes with onsen and there are many amenities available at the lobby. The best part of the hotel is the location. You can’t get any closer to the train station. Love it!

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. 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. The lobby...

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in February and was very satisfied with how clean and quiet it was! I booked another night this time. I also went to the hotel's public bath at night, which was very relaxing. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time. It's conveniently located on Hachijo Street, right by Kyoto Station, making it super easy to get around by JR, subway, or bus.

The hotel is conveniently located right by Kyoto Station, very close by, with two convenience stores downstairs. Transportation is a breeze. The front desk service was excellent; both luggage storage and check-in went smoothly. Some front desk staff can speak Chinese. The room size is decent. My 28-inch suitcase, when fully opened in the entrance hallway, left no room to walk. However, the room facilities...

Took longer time for the check-in process. I have luggage transfer from Tokyo to the hotel. The claiming luggage processed was not smooth. The staff mislook number on her lists and said it was not our luggage but the tag on the bag exactly shows my name haha. Luckily still got my luggage. Overall the room size is okay, consider spacious. Nearby Kyoto Station 😊.

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. There’s a complimentary shuttle service to and from the hotel to the station. Handy when it was raining. That said, some areas could be improved. The bathroom felt quite dated and could really use a reno. Also can’t/won...

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. Hotel has free airport shuttle to the station as well which is fantastically convenient.

Large hotel located in a very convenient location close to train stations and shopping centres. There are two breakfast options in which you can choose to eat at a diversified buffet or a set menu in an observation deck on the 14th floor. The hotel itself is a bit old but renovated inside. Overall, it's very luxurious for the price but the bedding were not too comfortable. Free shuttle departs every...

The hotel has shuttle bus to Kyoto station, walking only takes about 10 minutes. Breakfast is nice and staff are very pleasant. Not close to Gion. It's Tower is magnificent.

The hotel meets all the standards of a star-rated hotel, but it's very discreet. We had a hard time finding it at night, even with navigation, because the dim hotel sign was hidden behind some bamboo.

Everything was fine, just the public bath quite small and short opening time, always long queue during peak hour.

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...

Best hotel ever visited. Service is superb. Bus stop no.31 right in front of hotel goes back and forth to Gion area. Breakfast was really good, tasty and fresh

The hotel's location was very convenient.

It is very great hotel. The location is good. It has a chapel inside too.

This European-style hotel is centrally located in Kyoto, close to the subway and bus stops. Downstairs, you'll find restaurants, convenience stores, and a Starbucks. 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. Special praise goes to the breakfast...

The hotel was quite okay & the location was good as it was near stations.

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. We really liked the hotel itself; it's clean, cozy, and offers good service. The breakfasts are delicious and varied...

hallways smelt of smoke a bit. would stay here again, staff were nice and room was cozy.

very clean, friendly staffs and great breakfast. very closed to Aeon mall Kyoto and metro&bus station.

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. Has a restaurant and a large bathing place as well. Notable service that I used was the Luggage Delivery service via Kuroneko Yamato that they offered. I was able to get rid of my large suitcase that I...

Stayed 1 night as a solo traveler. Great location near Kyoto Station—very convenient for sightseeing. Room was small but spotless and had everything I needed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Perfect for a short, comfortable stay in Kyoto.

It was an amazing stay. The onsen is clean and spacious. Rooms are spacious too for Japan. The lighting is on point. Water pressure in the shower is great and loved the scent of their hotel bath gels and shampoo. There are water filters to refill water and small washers/dryers at several floors.

No enough drinking water supply, one day one litre for couple is not enough. Breakfast foods are same everyday.

Easy access, near to subway station. Friendly staff. Laundry machines not too satisfactory.

it is a great location to stay at and walking distance to the metro stations!

Close to 2 stations and a short walk away from the shopping district. Clean and modern rooms with public bath.

The location is perfect for a visit to Kyoto and the hotel is very nice and clean. There is an onsen/public bath available for guests. At first we had a room down to the road and was a bit bothered by the noise of car/motorcycles late at night - so we asked to change rooms and the staff was very helpful about it.

The location is convenient, and the hotel staff are warm and thoughtful. I really liked it and will definitely come again next time! (The previous review was already very detailed, so I'm just leaving a quick comment as I saw a pending review here. I'll definitely be back next time I visit Kyoto!)

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 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.

Hotel Okura Kyoto was the most pleasant surprise of our entire trip. First off, you can walk directly into the hotel from the subway. After getting off the subway, you enter a shopping mall, and the walk from the mall to the hotel has a very upscale feel to it. 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...

We recommended this hotel to all kinds of travelers from nearby beautiful places and shopping areas spacious room, delicious meals and good services

Beautiful and very hospitality hotel

Top end hotel of all we tried while traveling around Japan. Large room, spacious bathroom, good quality beds and pillows. 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. Breakfast was reasonable prices with good verity of both...

This hotel has a public bath, which is great for relaxing. It's also conveniently located near bus stops that take you to popular attractions. There are plenty of food options nearby, and a subway station is close by, making it easy to get to Osaka.

the hotel strategic location easy to acssess other location near conbination store family mart

Surrounded by many eateries, convenience store and supermarkets (life) and near train stations. Come with public bath and sauna separated by gender. Only cons is that you can smell cigarettes in the lobby.

Overall it's fine, but the room didn't come with bottled water!

I booked this through Ctrip's group buy, and it was excellent value for money. Although the room was small, it was very well-designed. It was also very convenient and safe for my child to stay there alone. The Hankyu Line and Karasuma Subway Line are both within a ten-minute walk from the hotel. The LIFE supermarket and convenience stores are also very close by.

The location is great, nestled between Hankyu Shijo-Omiya and Karasuma, making it easy to walk to both. This is super convenient for getting between Osaka Umeda and Kyoto Kawaramachi. Plus, there's a Shijo-Horikawa bus stop right downstairs that goes to Kyoto Station. Overall, it's very convenient, and the facilities are complete, including a thoughtful luggage storage service! Excellent value for...

We cannot complain this hotel is perfect for travelers who want comfortable Western-style accommodation in Kyoto with easy transport access.  Also visitors planning to explore the city (walking + subway/bus).  May be less ideal if you prioritize luxury boutique vibes or expect top-tier spa/amenity experiences.

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. The room was very spacious for two people, and the view from the room was amazing. Even for me, living in Tokyo, the interior design and the hospitality of the staff really made me feel the true essence of Kyoto,...

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Our room faced the castle directly which provided a unique experience and enjoyable for people watching. 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. There aren’t many shops nearby, but there are a ramen restaurant, cafe/bar, and a 7-11 as well. The hotel building is relatively old, but it is well maintained. The renovated rooms in particular feel quite modern and...

The hotel room we were assigned was nothing like what’s shown in the pictures on Trip.com. It was old, dimly lighted and amenities were really poor. There wasn’t even a charging point on one side of the bed. On the other, there was an extension adaptor that was fixed on the bedside table. It looks really makeshift and was probably not very safe. When I asked the receptionist about it, I was offered...

Spacious room, good coffee and tea making facilities. Super handy location for main Kyoto train station.

Good location, can walk to Kyoto station 3 minutes, nice hotel , clean and cozy place. The hotel is expensive but does not include onsen services, have to pay extra.

this hotel provided us with a top quality service and the rooms are super huge. Gym has plenty of machines and weights. Breakfast was amazing as well. 1 minute away from Kyoto station to top it all off.

The hotel's location is fantastic! The design is also very modern and forward-thinking. The front desk and concierge staff were all incredibly enthusiastic and always attentive to whether we needed any assistance. It was a very satisfying stay. We stayed in Japan for 7 nights and switched between 3 hotels, and this was by far the most satisfying five-star hotel experience!

Hotel was very sophisticated and clean. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent service, convenient location, extremely well designed interior

This was my third stay, and I was a bit disappointed. When I entered the room, there was a strong body odor that various measures couldn't fix. I had to sleep with a mask on, and it only got better after two days of ventilation. When I went down to the front desk to discuss it, the staff seemed a little impatient. I hope the hotel maintains its quality.

The bathhouse is free... and clean... They provide free drinks after 12pm and free coffee in the mornings

Everything was perfect. The rooms are spacious and the location direct to the Kyoto station

Good location! Very near kyoto and near a Don quijote and 7-eleven. Many breakfast option and has a free outdoor hotspring. Nearby there's a taxi stand too

Love the hotel room and location! However, when we arrived, we were asked to pay an extra 34,200 yen for the room. We were told that our booking through Trip.com was for 1 guest only despite the room, a Comfort Tatami Twin Room with Terrace, being equipped with 2 single bedrooms. We had paid slightly above 80,000 yen for 4 nights of stay at the hotel, so the extra charge of 32,600 yen (34,000 - 1,...

The room was smaller than expected but still in a good size. I spent some time on the balcony and really enjoyed it. However, it became quite dark at night as there was no light there. The onsen was clean and wonderful, and the staff were super nice. The bonus point was a 7-Eleven right in front of the hotel! I will definitely come back if I visit Kyoto again.

It was a great location and the staffs were wonderful and please do try the breakfast. The food quality was spectacular.

I stayed here 10 years ago. The hotel looked exactly the same. It is a little bit on the old school side, but everything is clean and impeccable. The first day I arrived I had a stomach issue and the hotel was really kind and helped send fresh ginger tea up to my room and requested. They went out out of their way to find me fresh ginger. The second day I strained my back from lifting heavy luggage...

Great service, clean and tidy.

Spacious room and excellent service from everyone. Feels like living in a garden

Facilities: Good Cleanliness: Good Environment: Good Service: Excellent

The room met our expectations, and the location is great, right behind Sanjusangendo Temple.

I used a pre-purchased room voucher, and it was such an amazing deal! The hotel is right near Otsu Station and is absolutely beautiful. The room was huge, with a direct view of Lake Biwa. Unfortunately, I only stayed one night this time and didn't get to fully enjoy the hotel's facilities. Plus, the staff were incredibly service-oriented. We mistakenly thought the drop-off point for the shuttle at...

I loved everything about this hotel. The cleanliness was outstanding — easily one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff provided great service and were always helpful and friendly. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to the train station, which made getting around very convenient. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast, with good quality and variety. The highlight for me was...

What’s a good location there ..this is my second times live there ..,free car park …pretty sea view …very good onsen ..100 marks

Facilities: A bit dated. Cleanliness: Very clean. Ambiance: Comfortable. Service: Warm and friendly ❤️ Definitely lives up to its reputation as a long-standing hotel. The scenery by Lake Biwa is stunning. Standing on the balcony, the view is picturesque. Upgraded the room for an additional 4000 yen upon check-in, and it felt well worth the money.

This hotel is located right by Lake Biwa, and every room boasts a large balcony where you can take in the stunning lake views. It's truly refreshing and uplifting! The hotel offers a convenient shuttle bus service right from the JR station, with pretty good frequency. Although you could walk to the hotel, providing a shuttle for this distance really shows their thoughtfulness. The onsen (hot spring...

The hotel's shuttle bus stop is right across the street from JR Station, with departures every half hour. It only takes a few minutes to reach the hotel. The hotel restaurant is lovely, and lunch is a semi-buffet. Breakfast is served in a dedicated breakfast room with a wide variety of delicious food. There's also a hot spring bath available at the hotel.

I was very pleased with the hotel room design, comfort and space. The parking is first come first serve even though I had requested for it earlier so I had to park elsewhere for the first few nights. Location is excellent. Staff even found my discarded SIM card and were honest to callback and inform me about it.

I chose this hotel because they mentioned to have parking spot however it was very disappointed. Everyday you have to go somewhere else to park and pay a very high fee. The reception is not very helpful and feel very frustrated. The hot spring is dirty and packed with people.

good location, spacious room and cozy design, just the sound proof not good and the noise from the traffic is quite disturbing at the night. Thanks frontline for arranging luggage transfer to my next stop.

A little bit expensive...breakfast is ok...services is good

Location: Superb! Located between 2 stations - SANJO and Kyoto shiyakusho-Mae station. Shiyakusho-Mae is nearer to the hotel (exit 1),  about a min walk away after climbing two flights of stairs. However, if you have luggage, would suggest to go via exit 3, take the lift to another hotel lobby (I can’t recall the hotel name). Solaris is across the street from this hotel. I don’t see any lift if taking...

Very good stay, hotel staff very friendly. Room room size is okay for 2 pax. Just by the Kamo River, love the morning walks just by the river. Food and shopping conveniently by the hotel location.

Nice environment and big room in Japan. Also, the staff is helpful

New hotel with very nice and new room.

The Duji restaurant is excellent!

The hotel's location is excellent, right across from Nijo Castle. The staff are quite friendly, but it feels like this might be Mitsui Fudosan's first foray into such a high-end luxury hotel, as the overall system operation seems a bit unrefined. In particular, one older gentleman at the Italian restaurant, who seemed to be from the head office, really dropped the ball on service. The hotel design...

An absolute must-stay for maximum indulgence and relaxation. Love the private onsen spa! It's a delightful stay with a marvelous location.

The staffs were really helpful and kind. Breakfast was good. Parking was easy with valley parking available. We did however got complaints when kids were being kids in the room. I didn’t think the kids were making excessive noise though. Overall good, but a bit pricy.

We love the hotel. Location is not far from all the attractions. Very quiet. Service is excellent. Up to our expectations. We will come back again next time and would recommend to others as well.

We stayed during a busy holiday weekend and the hotel was quite busy. Despite that, it was easy to use the hotel amenities (public bath, free coffee and tea and snack service) without feeling rushed or overcrowded. Our room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay again on account of the amenities, friendly service, comfort level, and great location.

Stayed before, love to stay again and again. The room is quite spacious and the location conveniently located near Nishiki Market. If you are booking here, this restaurant 2min away from hotel is worth trying. This is amazingly delicious.

The location is super convenient, with lots of small coffee shops nearby. Great value for money, highly recommend!

The room was a bit small, but the service was exceptional. They offered complimentary tea and coffee, free Japanese ochazuke (rice with green tea) as a late-night snack, and we even caught a Kabuki performance. Plus, there were massage chairs available for relaxation anytime – absolutely fantastic!

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

The hotel is really good , lobby service I can say 10/10 perfectly fine. There’s a hot spring inside the hotel , vry comfortable also near to metro and is a quiet neighborhood at night but also nearby everywhere u wanna access in Kyoto love it !

I’ve stayed in Kyoto many times and I just have to say that this is one of the best values you’ll get for your money. I found the facilities to be very well kept and was a nice balance of modern and traditional design elements. The hotel has a nice restaurant and bar and a number of entertainment options throughout the week. The spa was very nice and the PJs in room with towel bag is a nice touch....

A lifesaver during the off-season! This is my favorite hotel chain; I absolutely love the decor. The service is also excellent. It's a top-notch Japanese hotel chain that I highly recommend.

Excellent hotel! The front desk staff were very welcoming. We usually check in using English when we're abroad, but here they even had Chinese service available. The facilities are a bit old, and there's a large public bath on the first floor separated by gender, but it's not a hot spring. The hotel also offers Kabuki performances.

Very clean, and the room was spacious. They also had a geisha performance every evening, which added a nice touch of local Kyoto culture. The hotel's location is good too; it's about a 10-minute walk to Kyoto Daimaru department store, which is very convenient.

I had a very comfortable 3-day stay at this hotel. It's right near a pedestrian street, which made it super convenient to walk to Smart Coffee. The large bathroom only has one tub, but it was very clean and the water temperature was perfect. I took a relaxing soak there every day. The front desk service was excellent, especially Wang! I had a double booking issue, and he handled it perfectly for me...

The front desk staff speaks fluent English, and there were quite a few Western guests during my stay. For the cherry blossom season, the value for money was pretty good. The room was relatively spacious compared to other Japanese hotels. Rooms facing the street can be a bit noisy late at night. Breakfast leans towards a Western style. It's very close to the subway, just a short walk to the Kamo River...

Amazing service, their english was excellent and everyone was incredibly thoughtful! Best place we stayed on our trip!

Perfect stay ! Very clean very convenient and the location perfect!! It’s so close to everywhere ! Service is amazing the spa is so nice ! Chie made my body stress relief by the spa.

Absolutely great hotel with such a nice interiour design, very helpful and nice staff and great, spacious room. we even got a free room upgrade. breakfast was delicious and had a nice athmosphere. there is free coffee available in the lobby which is also a very nice extra. we fully enjoyed our stay here. location could not be better, many sightseeing spots in walkable distance and subway is just around...

The decor is very stylish, but the bedding isn't great. The 'super king size bed' is actually two beds pushed together, and there's a big gap in the middle. We had to squeeze with our child on one side, which was really cramped. Plus, the bedding was too soft and offered no support, leaving me with a sore back for all three days of our stay.

Stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel was aesthetically pleasing with its decoration. The welcome drink was pleasantly served as well. The staff was friendly and helpful with our checking in process. They also provide luggage transfer services for you. The room was done up nicely and the metro was just one traffic light away. Overall, we had a awesome stay there. We got to see snow on our 2nd day!

The transportation is incredibly convenient; it's very close to the station and right by a subway entrance. There's also a shopping mall nearby. It offers great value for money and might even be quieter than areas closer to Kyoto Station.

Room is small. Average breakfast. Available spa and sauna to guests. Washer drying available at x5 100¥ coins. Overall comfortable stay

Clean and hygiene hotel. Convenient to travel around. Hotel come with onsen at the top floor😉

I stayed with my wife and 5 months old son. The service was good. Clean, Decent amenities and good service. Would stay here again

The biggest drawback was the size of the room for the price we paid. We could not even open our suitcases on the floor. There is no water in your room, you have to go downstairs to have a drink of water. Do not have breakfast there, it's too expensive (if you cannot eat everything) . There is a supermarket (LIFE) a few meters away with a very nice bakery. The hotel do however have all the toiletries...

Spa service is good, clean. Breakfast is delicious

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...
