Ōta Hotels

This was my 2nd stay at Hotel Alza. This, small and intimate hotel, is quiet and convenient, with excellent access to Gion, Pontocho Alley and Sanjo station.

The Alza was excellent. Great location on the river so some rooms have gorgeous view. In the Gion district, one of the most attractive places in Kyoto.

This was my second time staying at the RC Hotel, because it is truly such a lovely stay!

This hotel was one of the best surprises of our trip to Japan and truly a hidden gem in Kyoto.
The location is absolutely outstanding.

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.

If you’re looking for a location, that’s relaxing and welcoming. That’s immersed in Japanese culture will also be extremely accommodating to travelers. This is your spot!

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.

What a special place. Our room had two private onsens, which were both beautiful and were great places to come home to after hot days or wandering around. The staff are warm and helpful.

We were at the hotel just for one night to celebrate my birthday but the stay will be in our hearts for a long time! The staff was beyond amazing, very friendly and helpful.

This was my third capsule hotel (having never stayed in one before this Japan trip) and by far the best although at least one other was certainly very good too.

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

Very nice vintage like rooms, you feel like you are living in a previous, simpler time, although all the facilities are modern and convenient.

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!

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.

The place was very nice highly recommended. Very clean, a lot of amenities and close to 2 convenient stores and 1 food store.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel.

Spacious room, clean, near to public transportation, near to mall, near to restaurant.
Stair too narrow. Have to be really careful climbing the stairs. Good luck to those carrying huge heavy luggage.

Helpful host. He gave us good info of where to explore. Great central location, a little difficult to find so make sure to get the details from the host first.

We stayed for 4 days and this place was so so amazing, and the owner is the best and he was so sweet to were he made sure that we are comfortable at all times (he asked us to contact him using line

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.

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!

If you like to avoid the touristic Gion and stay in a more genuine Japanese home this is perfect. The couple that owns this small inn is very nice and helpful.

Fantastic little guesthouse with amazing owners. Made us a fantastic breakfast each morning and even dropped us to the station to catch our train.
Highly recommend.

Without a doubt, the most beautiful place to stay in Kyoto!

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.

We spent 4 nights in the house to discover Kyoto.

If you want to feel like in a Japanese house, I recommend it. Place close to attractions. The host was very communicative.

We stayed 4 nights at Sui hostel and we had a lovely stay. Once we entered, there were warm lights, soft music with incense! Amazing!

Stayed here in March and it was my favorite place to stay at in Kyoto.

A fantastic find in Kyoto. Cheerful, friendly welcome at the central check in office and were able to head straight over to the Villa. We stayed in the Kaze villa which was stunning.

When we booked this place, we received almost immediate instructions via email, which was super helpful.

I can’t believe how affordable the room was. We were put on the 5th floor.

Beautiful hotel in the perfect location, offering a true traditional Japanese experience. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and having a washing machine available is a huge bonus for travellers.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Gozan and couldn’t have been happier with the experience.

Our stay at this hotel exceeded all expectations—it was truly wonderful, and we would absolutely stay here again in the future.

Excellent experience of traditional Japanese house. Clean and comfortable. Nice warm toilet seat and bidet.
Plenty of local sites within walking distance and easy access to public transport.

Lovely quiet location cetral to a number of key attactions. Supermarket just down the road. Lovely local reastuarants close by. Short walk to subway and buses.

I stayed here three years ago and had a wonderful time.

What a lovely stay my wife and I had with the wonderful lady of the house! She was very nice and gave us directions, recommendations, and even a ride!

Absolutely great property we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. Just a 10 minute walk from station.

The host was very helpful indeed to us on arriving at our first accommodation in Japan. There are local buses available very close by to and from Kyoto Station at a low cost.

The bestest hostel I have ever stayed in my years of backpacking life!

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed!
I was supposed to stay in another place that was terrible so I found Ryokan hostel last minute and it was FANTASTIC!

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.

It's a great place to stay for backpackers. The placel is clean, well-located, and has a friendly atmosphere. The staff were very kind and helpful, especially Ari.

Nice hostel for female solo travellers 🧳
Amazing location in kyoto, walking distance from attractions and transport stops.
Pods are average size. Showers provide soap, shampoo and conditioner.

Way over my expectations. First time sleeping in shared place but it worked very well. Few tips or good to know:
Locker key can be bought for 300 yen.
Borrow towel 200 yen.

Pleasant stay at the hostel.
Can’t complain much.
The bed was clean, as the kitchen and bathroom.
