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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great central stay in Kyoto. Highly recommend. We stayed here for 5 nights. The staff was nice and friendly. The small room was comfortable enough and the shower was divine.

Room was quite small but good enough for a couple. They have great amenities and you can get extra towels from the 1st floor by yourself.

Great hotel! Simple and clean. Fancy shower facilities. Face wash, lotions downstairs free to grab. Close to main area in Kyoto. Will definitely come again!

​We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and surprisingly spacious for Japan, and the bathroom facilities were a major highlight. They provide complimentary coffee, tea and water in the lobby.

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.

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.

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.

A lovely hotel with a nice lounge that has everything you need to relax. There are some activities throughout the day but we never made it to any.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location was good, with a fantastic supermarket next door.

Very clean and modern looking rooms. The staff is really polite and they offer a lot of additional free benefits.
You get a bunch of value for the price. Can't recommend ot enough.

This hotel was absolutely wonderful! The room was spacious and the futon beds were incredibly comfortable. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the staff, who were so helpful!

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

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.

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.

We stayed for two nights. Very convenient location-close to everything but there was not enough water given. The apartment is big but somehow there was no closet/space for cloths.

​We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and surprisingly spacious for Japan, and the bathroom facilities were a major highlight. They provide complimentary coffee, tea and water in the lobby.

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.
