Kyoto Hotels

I was on the female’s floor and the only negative thing I experienced was the people waking up early (around 6am) and not being very quiet whether it was with their suitcases or their friends.

Perfect cheap stay for people who want the better hostel experience.
Pods are roomy enough and beds are comfy as heck. Central location makes it easy to go to most places within a short time.

We stayed here for our 4 nights in Kyoto on our three week tour of Japan.

Where to begin, they're part of the Banyan group so you expect a level of service and luxury and Dhawa Yura did not disappoint.
A beatutiful hotel and space in general.

We recently stayed at Sowaka for four nights and had an excellent experience.
Our room, 209, was spacious, comfortable, and cozy. It provided a peaceful retreat after a full day of exploring Kyoto.

“Authentic luxury” Although the bedrooms are Western style, the feel is pure Kyoto. Beautifully presented breakfast.

My husband and I had a great stay at Mitsui Garden in Kyoto. It is located right near the shopping streets, which made everything very convenient.

Amazing hotel in a fantastic location. We stayed in 5 different hotels for our stay in Japan and this was hands down our favourite.

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.

All in all it was a pretty nice stay. Unfortunately there were cameras everywhere so you couldn’t really change in a room without being recorded.

Best stay I had in Japan! It is so clean, spacious and the pods are perfectly designed.

Chie is a very nice and friendly host. The girls from the staff did a perfect job and were also very kind and friendly. I would recommend the yoga and tea ceremony.

Great traditional bed and breakfast. Very clean and staff is always happy to help.
I highly recommend this place if you like your comfort in a quiet area.

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.

The guesthouse is in a perfect location – quiet, yet very central. It’s exceptionally clean and perfectly equipped.

Absolutely amazing, centrally located and affordable. Li, the owner, goes put of his way to make you feel at home. Lots of toiletries to use and laundry service.

Very nice place. Pretty afordable and in a nice and quiet residential area. Easy access to to both tram and bus.

The guesthouse is very comfortable, clean, and well maintained, feels like home. It is located in a lovely quiet neighborhood, perfect for those looking for a relaxing time away from the crowd.

Super nice hotel!

We had a very comfortable stay at KABIN Taka. The room was clean, minimalist, cozy, and well-maintained, making it a relaxing place to return to after a day of exploring Kyoto.

I can’t help but thinking this is the best hotel in Kyoto!

I stayed at the Tassel hotel 6 nights in September 2025.
I really liked the hotel: it’s comfortable, clean, nice and modern, with a great location to visit Kyoto and helpful staff.

Amazing hotel with lots of updated rooms and showers. Easy access to lobby and rooms with great amenities. Very clean atmosphere and friendly service!
Very clean rooms and bathrooms!

I was very happy with my stay here. Kyoto was towards the end of my trip and throughout the past two weeks I’ve gotten very used to tiny hotel rooms, with tiny bathroom and showers.

Beautiful hotel with a perfect location. Room was clean and spacious. Only thing to be aware of is the bathroom. There are glass windows into the room.

We had a wonderful stay at Good Nature Hotel Kyoto, and it was a big part of why we enjoyed the city so much.

Two adults, one teenager from Texas, USA stayed here for 3 nights in May. Best hotel room of our entire 2 week stay in Japan by far!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at STITCH Hotel in Kyoto and I’m so grateful I booked it based on other people’s reviews ~ every single positive comment turned out to be true!

I have nothing but praise for this hotel. My friend got very sick right before we had to leave.

Very well managed hotel with gorgeous views from the rooftop bar and complimentary coffee and ice cream at their reception desk.

We had 4 nights at this hotel and found it very comfortable. Great location within 5 minutes of the covered market streets and Nishiki market.

Well situated: near the famous market, great restaurants in the area and not far to a metro station to get to the shrines and temples on the eastern side of Kyoto.

Stayed 2 nights at Miyako City Kintetsu Kyoto Station and honestly, the location is the best part, right in the station, which made everything super easy — especially arriving with luggage and

Excellent location and best base to visit all attractions in Kyoto. Caveat: you must spend 20~30 minutes and to study and understand how the Kyoto bus network works.

Location is perhaps the best cause in choosing this hotel. Immediate access after exiting from station. There is also a convenience store just next to hotel.
Check in process was smooth.

Location is the best! Bus stops to and from Kyoto Station are just steps away. It is also walking distance to many attractions like Gion, Pontocho Alley, Kami River.

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.

Pros: The rooms are very comfortable and well designed, with a small fridge included. The bathroom and shower are separated, which is really convenient.

Spacious rooms with all the amenities you’ll need — plus a fridge and a microwave! The bath was the highlight for us though! Quiet area and the rooms were nicely decorated.

The best hotel we have ever stayed in! Absolutely beautiful, tranquil accommodations with gorgeous design.

As much as we wish we could keep this gem a secret for ourselves, the world deserves to know about this incredible place, and Higashiyama Shikikaboku deserves to be recognized for its world-class

The only highrise hotel in the nostalgia fishing town, Miyazu. It's 5 sty high to be clear.

Great value at 16, 000 to 20, 000 yen per night In Sakura season!
Stayed in the “standard king room”, honestly better than most 4 star rooms in Japan, pleasantly surprised!

Perfectly located next to Gion and just a 5-minute walk from the bridge to the city center. Convenient access to Kyoto’s main temples and attractions, either on foot or by a short bus/metro ride.

The place is lovely and new, good area, and the staff are lovely. Beds are on the firm side, but very comfortable and with good quality linen. Very happy with our choice.

An amazing experience. Staff were super friendly and helpful, suggesting and booking restaurants etc. Beautiful western style Japanese room, comfy bed and L'occitane toiletries.

As all the previous reviews mention: this place is exceptional! Absolutely every detail has been thought of with care. We ended our two week travels of Japan here and were so happy we did.

For the value, I would still stay here again now that I know how to handle the room/hotel issues.

The location is great as it’s in the heart of the traditional Kyoto, the Gion.

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.

The room we had was quite small, but the great design overcame this issue. It was nice to have a kitchenette and washing machine. Location is brilliant and staff were fantastic. Loved it.

We were allowed to check in two hours earlier than our check-in time which was greatly appreciated after a tiring travel day. The rooms were very tidy and the service was quick and professional.

Location, comfortable rooms, close to great Izakaya, bakeries, restaurants, parks and palaces, Kyoto Four Sisters Residence is the place to be.
We did a driving trip, travelling as a family of three

What an enjoyable stay. Before our stay all stay details and cost information was provided so there was little confusion on checkin.

We had a lovely stay at Matsui Honkan in a Japanese style room. There was plenty of space for the family (4 of us) and the Japanese breakfasts served in the room were very good.

We really enjoyed our stay at Matsui Honkan. We stayed in a traditional room, which was very spacious and quiet.

Cozy, clean, and welcoming guest house in a great location.
It is located in a very convenient place. It is easy to walk to the river and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, or take a bus to Fushimi Inari Taisha.

I made Guesthouse Soi my home base during my 17 days in Japan, and it was one of the best decisions I made.

I stayed here for almost a week and I really enjoyed my stay. It’s a family run ryokan and the family is very hospitable and friendly. They made me feel very welcome.

Coming back to Gion Sano feels like coming home, they have four big friendly dogs which slowly walk around in the day and are very calm.

We had a fabulous stay at hokkaikan Ohanabo in Kyoto. The location can’t be beat, it is both central and quiet at the same time.

We visited this place about 13 years ago and I believe there's an old review of mine here from back then. We had a lovely stay and we finally made it back 13 years later and with our kids this time!

We had a lovely stay at this ryokan. It felt so warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

まずは、明美さんと全スタッフの皆様に、皆んなさんの言語で感謝の意を表したいと思います。短い滞在をとても思い出深いものにしてくださり、ありがとうございます。母は非常に感銘を受け、私たちはいつかまた戻ってくることを願っております。
This was my third time visiting kyoto and first time trying a ryokan booking since I

My recent stay at KYOTO GION HOTEL during my trip to Kyoto was an absolute highlight, perfectly capturing the city’s timeless charm while delivering exceptional comfort and truly heartfelt,

Location is very good. Everything you need in the room bedding a little bit hard staff very friendly. Rooms are a little bit small but there’s a Japanese style.

After more than 20 years of travel, this is my favourite hostel. I had expected to stay only 3 nights, but this hostel & the beauty of Kyoto changed my mind; I eventually stayed nearly 2 weeks!

The hostel had 3 toilets and showers per floor, plus a few in the lounge floor, so there was never the issue of having to wait to go to the toilet or take a shower.

Based on customer service alone they deserve 5 stars. I accidentally booked the wrong day, so when I showed up I actually didn’t have a room booked!

Overall a great experience, the staff was just so nice and after travelling in japan for some time its great to have a crew who speaks fluent english!

Nice chill place to stay in a very convenient location. You're really close to the station and there are a lot of conbinis around.

Conveniently located just a short 5-7 min walk from Kyoto station (There is a subway connecting the entire stretch — helps in case it rains). The hostel is clean and nice.

The stay was nice. Showers were clean and there was free coffee. The traditional beds were oke for a couple of days, but not for a week. I was looking forward to a place with curtains and a good bed.

We stayed for 6 nights and loved it. Very helpful, friendly staff, great location and well equipped kitchen with free coffee you can make in individual drip. Amazing hot water for showers.
