Kyoto Hotels near Kodaiji Temple

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Nohga surpassed our expectations and will stand out as a highlight of our Japanese holiday. Staff were flawlessly professional and accommodating from front desk, bakery and restaurant.

Our stay at NOHGA Hotel Kyoto was fantastic from start to finish. Everything was impeccable: the facilities, the comfort, and the overall atmosphere.

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.

A gem of a hotel in Kyoto. The area is absolutely beautiful, with a shallow tiny river where we were greeted by a grey heron each day. The walk to subway and bus is short.

A wonderful hotel. The room was perfect, everything we needed and a lovely view over the neighbouring stream.

Location is great! It’s an easy walk to many restaurants and all the hidden gems that Kyoto has to offer.

I stayed in 4 different hotels on my trip to Japan, and this one was my absolute favorite. The decor, the rooms, staff, and location was all 10/10! They were very helpful and friendly too.

Everything was great about this stay.

Miru Gion was the perfect place to base ourselves for our visit to Kyoto. The location is amazing so quiet and peaceful but a short walk to food/stations and shops.

A excellent hotel!
The building itself beautifully reflects the historic character of the area from the outside, while the interior is nothing short of stunning.

Stayed for 4 days in June 2026. This hotel very conveniently located. It’s easy to reach from the subway Station and this made us getting around the city simple.

I stayed at the Four Seasons Kyoto Hotel again because I forgot my coat when I checked out last time.

One of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Beautiful serene rooms. Incomparable service. Every single staff member is hospitable and go above and beyond to help.

Out of all the hotels I stayed at this trip to Japan, having gone to Fukuoka, Osaka, Nara, Tokyo, and Kyoto.

Location is not entitled their fault. About a 8 minute walk from the nearest metro. Staff was always polite and helpful. Front desk staff spoke multiple languages so that was helpful.

Park Hyatt is a great gem in the Gion district. Situated in a charming and picturesque area it was a wonderful stay for the last leg of our Japan visit.

My stay at Park Hyatt Kyoto was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived until the day I checked out, every member of the team made me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.

Tldr, I'd stay here again.
Great location, facility, staff. Just 1 block from Hanamikoji street, Kenninji Temple. And 10 minutes tov the shopping district.

I’ve been to Kyoto numerous times and this is by far the best hotel I’ve stayed in. The location is perfect, as it is on a quiet street but still close to all the action.

Our stay at The Celestine Kyoto was a wonderful experience and one that I'd happily recommend to anyone visiting the city.

Probably the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at, not because it’s the most expensive or necessarily the fanciest, but every detail made my stay. Absolutely incredible.

Spacious accommodations with a lot of amenities. The room is huge, has a washing machine and a microwave to heat up food you may buy. Highly recommended for its value.

This was the perfect place to serve as a base for our holiday in Kyoto.

Love our stay here! While we did rely on buses and the subway to get around Kyoto, we actually enjoyed staying in this area.

Beautiful hotel. We had a big, bright room for an amazing price right in the heart of the city. Several subway stops nearby, and several bus routes. Many sites within a 15 or 20 minute walk.

This is a very unique hotel experience. The hotel is part of a temple. It is so serene and a great way of having a peaceful rest, reflection and contemplation.

Stayed here back in February for one night and it was a phenomenal stay.

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

We stayed here December 2025 for 3 nights.
The highlight of our experience was definitely the room.

Hotel Yuraku Kyoyasaka is an exceptional hotel. Ideal for couples. The rooms are large and beautiful. The private onsens are luxurious and perfect for relaxing after spending the day exploring Kyoto.

I enjoyed a fantastic 6 nights stay at this hotel in kyoto!

We are very happy to stay here. Would recommend friends here.
Staff are friendly and helpful especially the Ms at front desk from Korea.
Room spacious and clean.
Space well plan.

This is hands down the best hotel experience we’ve ever had in Japan. Six Senses has created a stunningly new, zen, and peaceful oasis in Kyoto.

Our stay at Six Senses Kyoto was very enjoyable overall. The rooms were beautifully designed, with a peaceful view overlooking the garden that made the stay especially relaxing.

We were very pleased with the room layout and amenities.

More than expected is the only way to put it.
Location:
Steps from the hotel is Sanjo Station on the Keihan Main Line and honestly, this alone is reason enough to stay here.

The hotel is in a super convenient location, really close to Sanjo Station.

Large unit with a separate bedroom that had 2 full-sized beds. Bathroom is nicely segmented with a room with large with a tub and a side area for shower. Shower has nice pressure.
