Ōta Hotels

Wonderful hotel and staff rooms are great but the hotel is a bit dated.

My wife and I had a great stay at Hotel Alza Kyoto. The room was surprisingly spacious and very quiet, even though the hotel is close to the main areas of Kyoto.

This apartment is super mega clean, looks all new (entire complex looks good), good size bathroom for Japan, big beds, TV etc… is quite secure and modern with key codes for entrance, unit door and

HIDDEN GEM! The layout gives you that Japanese feeling. Bed is on the floor just like they do it. We absolutely loved it.
You are dead smack in the middle of the action during the day.

Just perfect.
The building is incredible, in the nicest street, with a cute coffee place right below it. The whole area is very nice with many things to see. The rooms are gorgeous and very large.

Perfect location in the heart of Kiyomizudera, just one street away from the crowded tourist area. Easy walk to Sannenzaka, Ninenzaka, Gion, and other spots.

Very beautiful hotel located on a quiet residential street. The staff were attentive and helpful from check-in to check-out.

It was my first experience in a capsule room in Japan but everything was great. The room is always clean even the shared accommodation.

Really solid capsule hotel. The capsules are quite nice, very comfortable and have everything you need. Locker is a decent size, bigger than some other capsule hotels.

Fantastic location if you are looking to stay in the Gion area. Rooms are surprisingly spacious for a Japanese hotel and it has good amenities including a laundromat.

My family of three had a wonderful stay at Laon Inn Gion Nawate. Despite being located in the bustling Shijo district of Kyoto, the hotel room offered excellent soundproofing.

One of the most memorable places in the time I was living in Japan, just because it is raw traditional and hidden gem, doing this review just to find it later when I go back.

My friend and I were wandering around Sannenzaka when we stumbed upon this place. There was a sign for Obanzai and the entrance tunnel kind of reminds me of the one Chihiro walked through.

We LOVED our stay at Kikutani!

Beautiful rooms. We had a garden view. Private onsen was amazing, so relaxing. Traditional breakfast was nice to experience. The PJ's were so soft and cool. Would definitely recommend.

This is the first time I've stayed here, we got the suite, the room is so clean and so much newer than the photos on the website.

Me and my twin adult sons have been traveling the world for almost 10 years and these accommodations beat ANY other pound for pound.

An absolute must stay in Kyoto! It is a traditional house, with very kind hosts that keep iced tea and sweets for you when you return from the long days of walking.

I visited on the 10th of the month. My friend and I walked through the hot sun from JR Kyoto Isetan. When I arrived, I was greeted warmly. The owner speaks English well.

Not close to a lot of stuff, but it was a great hotel/Airbnb I guess. No person there to check us in everything was done online, which was also great.

The room itself is great. More space than most.
Washing machine. Clean. New. Only downside is thin walls. Can hear people upstairs walking and neighbors moving around.
Location is not great.

An urban ryokan oasis blending new and old in a very stylish way. Apparently the building is a 100 year old carpenters workshop which has been converted to a ryokan.

This was truly a phenomenal experience all around. I can't say enough nice things about this boutique hotel.

This is a really great hotel with very affordable price and quite near to Kyoto Station. The house rules are kinda overwhelming at first and it's fully self service.

I can't fault this place for the price that wouldn't cover the cost of the cleaner in Australia. Easy to find on a lovely quiet street a short walk from. The station.

Our family enjoyed the Japanese experience. The host was charming, eccentric and always helpful.
The sleeping room is large and comfortable. The garden is peaceful and the breakfast just right.

Interesting experience for a foreigner but well worth it. There are some rules to follow as it's more of an inn than a hotel or abb (and cheaper).

Amazing place, were everything has been great. Close to the station and in a quite street. Our room was cozy and comfortable!

The best value for your money. Close to the metro station and city buses. Walking distance from Gion and Kyoto station.

Very clean, have a laundry coin, dryer coin (there is detergen in the laundry room), microwave, oven, sink, electric hot water jug, eating table area, sofa, etc. Everything you need at home.

Stay on 27 Nov 2023 (Mon)
+ Strategic location, comfortable and clean environment to stay.
+ Full amenities, toiletries, coffee at the pantry and even pyjamas available.

This was my second experience at a capsule hotel, and I must say it was absolutely fantastic!

The apartment was spacious and super clean. However, there are additional charges for everything, extra futon, coffee pod, car park (even though the apartment has a car park).

The house was very spacious and extremely clean. The owner was very helpful and friendly, and allowed us to enter early, so we could store our bags.

Lovely hotel on the mountain great host delicious local japanese dinner and breakfast!

We had a wonderful stay in this ryokan. The lady there was very nice and helpful. I recommend this ryokan to rest after a long trip in busy japanese cities. The food was also amazing!

One of the best place to stay in Kyoto. It's a beautiful house hidden away amongst the temples…

Amazing house in a great location in the center of town on a quiet side street. The amenities were excellent and the bath next to the central garden was extremely relaxing.

This is undoubtedly a gem of Kyoto. As expected from a hotel that has won design awards, it is incredibly user-friendly—so comfortable that I don’t even want to go out.

We usually book the private room for three people and have not experienced the “semi-capsule like” accommodation on the second floor. The place is very clean, modern and cozy.

Ah, one of the best hostels in Gion because you will meet so many foreigners here & make friends at the dining table. The best part was the kitchen & shower area. Super clean.

I stayed at The Ryokan Hostel Gion in Kyoto and had a great experience. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the entire place — including the showers and bathrooms — was spotless.

Very clean. Centrally located. Rooms bright and airy. Bunch bed style.
Towels are 300 yen. And then there is 200 yen per day tax. Did not see this info on booking page.

Jam is wonderful! I have stayed there a few times, and would absolutely go back. The owners are incredibly friendly and kind, with great English.

This was the most beautiful experience for us here in Japan, thanks to Hiro-San who take care of every detail to make our stay pleasant as possible, very kind staff and clean hotel.

Fantastic experience! This is such a beautiful place to stay near everything and with a real feel of Japanese culture. Our room was beautiful and the beds extra comfy, we had an amazing time.
