Kyoto Hotels near Karasuma Oike

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.

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.

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.

We loved this hotel! Our space was small as expected for Japan but also perfect for two people. The facilities were clean and comfortable.

I found the bed really comfy here! Room sizes are Japanese-style ie quite small for westerners, but totally adequate. The charging ports in the room by the beds are a nice touch.

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.

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.

The good: very friendly staff, options to have more pillows, an iron, electricity plug converters, etc. Great coffee and nice toiletry selection. Modern-looking and comfortable rooms.

Stayed 3 nights in the Moderate Double Room.
CHECK-IN.
Smooth, nothing much to comment. Agoda stated guests would be charged at check-in for the city tax.

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!

This hotel was located a 20 minute walk from the main Kyoto station…. Temples and viewing tower. Approximately 10 minutes to the main town — Gion region and old town (beautiful).

Room was comfortable, clean and inviting. The view of the skyline was enjoyable. Walkable everywhere we wanted to go and very close to the local train station.

"Fantastic stay at Hotel The M’s Kyoto! The location is unbeatable — just a short walk from Karasuma Station. I loved the sleek, modern design and the incredibly easy self-check-in process.

So clean and comfortable. Couldn't find a better location for the price. If you like shopping and restaurants this is the place. I really enjoyed my stay and did lots of walking.

Kyoto Shijo Takakura Hotel Grandereverie is a charming boutique hotel that delivers a more personal and spacious experience.

What a lovely hotel!
The design is great, rooms are spacious, well equipped and very clean.
Location is awesome, close to the center.

The hotel has a great location, close to the station, and within walking distance of many attractions. The shopping centre is just a few minutes' walk away. The hotel service was excellent.

It’s in a very popular location — right in front of the Kawa River, and within walking distance to Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu Temple.

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.

I came here may 2026 — very close to Kyoto station and a 7/11. Tons of restaurants near by.
I booked the two bed two bathroom with a tatami room. Plenty of space for family of four.

The staff, room size/ layout, services and amenities were excellent with good value. I would highly recommend this hotel brand in Japan.

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.

We stayed at Courtyard by Marriott, Kyoto for six days, after some early reluctance, and were not disappointed.

We stayed here for 4 nights. It’s located in a pretty convenient area — just steps from a subway station and maybe 10 mins to the shopping area and Nishiki Market. Lots of good restaurants nearby.

Fabulous room at ridiculously low price. Bath/shower was particularly great. Fantastic location. Very helpful staff. Breakfast also terrific.

Had a wonderful stay at BnA Alter in Kyoto.
Our room was 501 — which featured a fantastic mural and light show by artist Mon Koutaro Ooyama.

Wonderful experience staying at Watazen Ryokan right from the second we stepped into the place the staff were super welcoming and the breakfast was simply amazing!

Interesting experience in the heart of Kyoto. Incredible location that makes you feel like you can go anywhere and see anything.

Small, Intimate, and Cozy Hotel Stay!
We have made an excellent choice in staying here. Booked at the last minute late November 2025 (due to a failed no-show from a ryokan booking).

Small hotel on a quiet street about 600m from the subway. Great water pressure, comfortable beds and just large enough for 2 people and a few suitcases. Kitchen with fridge, microwave and cook top.

Great location we are love that it in more quiet areas but not too far to walk to the sightseeing areas we only have to catch taxi once and it was easy to walk and catch train to other part of town,

My only regret — the stay was too short. The moment you walked into this hotel, you were greeted by friendly staffs. No self check-in, which is a rare find these days.

Great location in the heart of Kyoto. Few minutes walk to a karasuma station and a few bus stops. Just round the corner from Kyoto’s main shopping strip, major department stores and endless shops.

The hotel is in an excellent location with 2 train stations and plenty of shops and restaurants close by.
Our superior double room was quite small with a small table with 2 chairs, desk area, small

Stayed 4 nights in May at this beautiful Onsen hotel in Kyoto.
Pros: great location in Gion, lots of restaurants and beautiful shops and sights within walking distance.

We are 2 couples in our 50s on a 17 day vacation in Japan. We stayed in 6 different cities & at the end we ranked this our favorite hotel! (We stayed here 4 nights.

Location fine, short walk to stations, bus stops, Nishiki market. Restaurants and konbinis all around everywhere. Super clean, modern, warm, comfortable bed, doona, pillow. Quiet.

We found this area of Kyoto very walkable, there are so many great coffee and cafe places nearby, and also the shopping street is within 10 minutes.

We have stayed in 5 different hotels during our stay in Japan and the Mimaru Kyoto Shijo West was by far the nicest.

The staff were so friendly alwayd welcoming us back and spoke English very well. The Pokémon Room was the best decision.

We visited in November 2025. The rooms were clean. The bed is large and comfortable. I loved the frame. If the hotel could tell me where you got the frame I would be grateful.

The customer service was impeccable, very clean, GREAT activities in the evenings for guests and good security measures. Also a great location.
