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.

Service and facilities were excellent. The morning buffet had a large variety of food. And the nightly ramen was a thoughtful touch to the whole onsen.

Everything was wonderful, from the service to the overall environment. The staff were attentive and the experience was very enjoyable. The only feedback I have would be regarding the robe provided for the onsen, which felt a bit too small. It would be great if guests could be asked for their sizes beforehand to ensure a better fit. Additionally, while the room itself was comfortable and well-appointed...

This was probably the best hotel I stayed at in Japan. It felt incredibly clean — guests must remove their shoes at the entrance and store them in the shoe cabinets, so everyone walks around in socks. Breakfast was impressive, with a wide selection of Japanese and Western dishes and even matcha latte. The onsen was outstanding: there were at least four pools, so it never felt crowded, plenty of shower...

Super good service and provide great food and drinks in different places and periods The room is so comfortable

This is a large onsen hotel, not far from JR Kyoto Station, with plenty of dining options nearby, making it very convenient. Upon entering, you need to take off your shoes and store them. The lobby has a free self-service coffee machine where you can get hot tea/coffee. The front desk offers multilingual service, so you can communicate any additional needs. The onsen (hot spring bath) area is communal...

This place is just amazing. Good foods, location and friendly staffs. Wonderful onsen, perfect supper etc. We will definitely revisit!

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...

The front desk staff were very polite, but it seemed there weren't any Chinese-speaking staff. The hotel feels a bit old, and it seems to cater more to local Japanese guests rather than mainland Chinese tourists. It's a bit far from Kamo River, and it's about a 2km walk back from the shopping street. It's quite close to the subway station (and two lines intersect there), but in Kyoto, it's generally...

Great hotel to stay at Kyoto! Love the hot spring bath! It's definitely a big plus. 2 min walk to metro station is very convenient. Room is spacious. TV can watch YouTube! Will stay again if I ever come Kyoto again.

The hotel's location is super convenient. The bathhouse and lounge on the 13th floor were a big bonus for our stay, and the lounge even offers a complimentary beer every afternoon! 👍👍👍

I had a great overall stay at this Osaka hotel, primarily thanks to its fantastic location which offers easy access to public transport and sits within walking distance of major tourism spots. While the room was quite small and the facilities were limited—which is expected for a 3-star property—the space was well-utilized and served as a convenient base for exploring. What really stood out was the...

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...

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.

The room facilities are relatively new. The hotel's 7th-floor courtyard is a nice place for a walk. Rooms facing inward overlook the courtyard, and with the window open, you can hear the sound of flowing water. The red leaves in autumn are absolutely beautiful.

The hotel has a pick-up point in Kyoto, and it's also a convenient 3-5 minute walk from Keage subway station, right next to Nanzen-ji Temple – a peaceful oasis amidst the bustle. The hotel facilities are excellent, and the rooms, renovated a few years ago, are well-maintained. Amenities are plentiful, with a thoughtful selection of various cups. You can access beautiful gardens directly from the hotel...

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. 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. The hotel is also less than two kilometers...

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. Cake shop and Club Lounge offered wide variety of food and drinks. Overall it’s a pleasant stay, will definitely come back again. Hopefully can get a higher floor next time :) :) p.s As a shopaholic that...

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. breakfast is very good. we had a room with terrace overlooking the city. beautiful and elegant. will be back!

It’s definitely the most remarkable New Year’s Eve experience we ever had, from the city luggage service, shuttle bus to the trail within the hotel. Food wasn’t just good it’s great we will come back and stay longer next time !

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.

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.

Beautiful scenery, excellent location.

The hotel was pretty good overall. Its location is excellent, very close to Sanjusangendo Temple. The front desk staff, a lovely lady from China, was very thoughtful and helpful. The only minor drawback was that our room was quite a long walk from the elevator, which was a bit annoying.

This hotel is great in every season, except for the breakfast, which was a bit disappointing.

Facilities: Very good Cleanliness: Cleaned very well every day Ambience: Great location, I like the hotel design Service: Initially, the service was okay, but I felt a lack of responsibility. I forgot to pick up my child's allergy medicine when I left the hotel on Tuesday. They called and promised to ship it to Four Seasons Osaka the next day at the latest. They called on Thursday afternoon and were...

The environment is very good. Most of the service staff are Southeast Asians. Their service is not as meticulous as that of the Japanese, but it is also very good.

The hotel is nice. However, the weather was not so good. The hotel is not too far from Kyoto station but not close to any major attractions by walking.  Terrence is comfortable with a nice view over the garden and Japanese not call amenities. Maiko performance are available on Tuesdays and Sundays. Food is good. 

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.

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.

Very good hotel. Room a bit small as per the standard here. I can rate room as 4+ to 5 stars level. However, location is a bit poor. Quote a walking distance to the main attentions.

Newly opened hotel, close to Dongshan. The environment is absolutely superb, especially the garden view from inside. The service attitude is excellent. Highly recommend staying here, it offers good value for money. The room's overall decor is simple yet elegant.

We had a very comfortable stay during a short holiday. The hotel has a calm and high-quality atmosphere, and everything was clean, modern, and well maintained. Breakfast was excellent and clearly above average, especially the Japanese selection with wagyu shabu-shabu. The location is convenient while still being in a quiet area. Service was smooth and professional throughout. Would definitely stay...

The room is quite spacious, and the transportation is very convenient, with a subway station not far away. The most convenient part is the hotel's shuttle bus, which departs for Kyoto Station at 55 minutes past the hour, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. It returns from Kyoto Station at 25 minutes past the hour. The driver was very steady and polite. The breakfast was especially good; the...

Very quiet business hotel away from kyoto station. The breakfast has limited choices. Otherwise, quite a standard 4 stars hotel.

Very quiet business hotel away from kyoto station. The breakfast has limited choices. Otherwise, quite a standard 4 stars hotel.

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!

Room is spacious although lighting a bit dark for our liking. Location and service excellent.

A Truly Exceptional Stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto Our family had a wonderful experience at The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto, and we left with nothing but gratitude and happy memories. From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless and heartfelt — the kind of genuine hospitality that makes a trip feel truly special. A huge thank you to Cecilia and Vinnie from the Guest Experience team, who went above...

Check-in is conveniently done in the hotel room. The staff are professional and welcoming. The overall design of the hotel's public spaces is very comfortable.

The service was good. The first room I was given was a bit smelly, so I changed it to a new room. Then, because I was bothered by the cemetery view room, I was upgraded to a Kamogawa view room for free.

Great, because the hotel made this trip even better!

The service is excellent! The serve, food, room, and other items are impressive.

Facilities: Excellent Hygiene: Very clean Environment: Convenient for getting around Service: Thoughtful and attentive

Clean convenient simple efficient. Great choice for solo traveller. Hot spring public bath inside hotel is great for rejuvenating time

Very good location, just opposite Kyoto station. Awesome Breakfast with a lot of local varieties. Clean & cozy hot spring bath released exhausted body after long walk around Kyoto.

The staff were incredibly attentive and polite. The hot springs were great, and the breakfast spread was generous. The location is excellent, less than a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station.

The whole building a bit run down. The only good point is her location. The room is pricey though.

I stayed at a Dormy Inn in Tokyo many years ago and still fondly remember their complimentary evening noodles. This trip was a bit of a nostalgic return, though I didn't expect so many people enjoying the noodles; there was a queue every night. The hotel is very close to Kyoto Station, making transportation incredibly convenient, and the breakfast spread was also excellent. While the room wasn't large...

Overall Experience (9.5/10) Our stay in Kyoto was wonderful, and I’d highly recommend this hotel to everyone. It has a private, calm, and clean atmosphere. Most of the staff were very professional and provided excellent service. I’ll definitely come back next time. What I Liked the Most • Exceptional Soundproofing: During our two-night stay, we never heard any noise from the neighboring rooms—not...

nice hotel with good refreshment food and drinks. salmon rice served in dinner is very nice.

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!
