3-Star Hotels in Kyoto near Old Rissei Elementary School3*

Great hotel in Kyoto. The location is excellent, with easy access to public transportation and many attractions nearby.

Absolutely fantastic hotel in Kyoto. From arrival the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is very central and perfect for exploring all of the main sites.

What a wonderful stay and experience. I've stayed in Kyoto many times, but this was the first time we decided to stay at Watazen Ryokan for a different experience from a typical hotel.

This property was wonderful and enabled me to be relaxed during my stay. Solo travel or in a group. The facility is very well located.

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.

Pros:
-Staff are beyond nice and very helpful!
-Zashiki Twin Room was actually massive by any hotel standards, not just Japan hotel standards.
-Room was super cute, futons were comfy.

I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay in Kyoto!

I just moved from a 4 star to this 3 star and the beds are bigger, comfier and the room is more spacious. Self check in was simple, Wi-Fi works and AC too.

Just enjoyed our 5D4N at Kyoto & we stayed at Hiz Hotel Gion Shirakawa as our base. Very charming apartment hotel.

I had a last minute change in my schedule so I stayed here one night on a whim as a solo traveller just for a traditional Japanese room.

We had an amazing stay at Ryokan Kohro.

First time traveling to Japan, we found out this place to practice traditional Japanese archery. Really kind people working in there and amazingly friendly people.

The location is great. Literally on the street with many stores, restaurants and activities.
The room is large, no huge. It has both a traditional living room with tatami and a modern living room.

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.

Staying at Hotel Muso was the best decision of my Japan trip. While I’ve stayed at more expensive hotels in my lifetime, I have never been treated better than the way I was at Hotel Muso.

What a totally wonderful place: great location, wonderful staff, fabulous room, brilliant service.
We arrived, we were welcomed; our room was comfortable, spotless and restful; and we left too early.

Nice hotel. Well staffed, clean and friendly. Typical rooms that you would get at this pricepoint anywhere in Japan.

The staff is very nice and hospitable. The self check-in/out are easy to use and there is a self storage for baggage you can use if you are earlier then the check-in time.

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

Beautiful hotel with a great service.
Every morning you can go to see the Buddhist ceremony which I recommend to do at least once.

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.

Second time in 3 years. I love this hotel. Japanese style yet modern amenities and very spacious, especially if you are foreigner wanting relaxed, beautiful atmosphere.

Do yourself a favor and stay at the best hotel in Kyoto! A boutique hotel featuring your private onsen in every room — the staff is beyond friendly and accommodating.

Hotel has a nice entrance and reception is reached via a lift to the 2nd floor. Check in staff are friendly and helpful.
We booked a triple room, grandma, mother and teenager.

Much cleaner than other 3 star hotel. My skin is not allergic to the bed sheets at all!
The room is slightly bigger and well designed than other hotel in Kyoto.
A bit of walk from subway station.

Just returned from Japan and one of our stays was at The Machiya Ebisuya when we visited Kyoto. Beautiful traditional inspired hotel.

As of May 29th, the location was very convenient, with easy access to the city and nearby attractions. The transport connections were also good, making it easy to get around Kyoto.

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.

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.

Great place to stay, super close to a couple of bus stops and good restaurants. Staff is amazing, super helpful, accommodating, and speak great english.

This is where you get the vibe and tradition of Japan. It’s so authentic, cozy, though room was a bit small.

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.

This hotel is so cute and cozy! So far, it is my absolute favourite hotel in Japan!
The Gion District is beautiful and quiet, and this hotel is a short walk from some of the main tourist attractions!

Great location, right next to the Gion district and close to a few temples, that made it easy for us to walk. Rooms were clean and as well spacious. One of the better hotels I stayed at in Japan.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel for 3 nights. Its room was clean and well organized with modern furniture and equipment. It offers many washers and dryers as well as ice machine and microwave oven.

Excellent location a short walk to the longest street of shops and restaurants. The room.
Is very small but clean and all the facilities you need are provided.

We stayed at Hotel Amanek Kyoto and had a very good experience. The staff were super friendly, and the rooms were very clean.

Great service and lovely staff, has its own sento which was always quiet. They also gave free juice/tea. It was easy to walk to the centre and there were frequent buses right out the front.

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.

Beautiful B&B like hotel, very gracious host! Clean simple rooms, very comfortable and cute. I’m very glad we were able to stay.

What a special little boutique hotel. Endlessly charming and cozy.

This is a hotel that truly makes you feel comfortable and eager to return.
The service quality is outstanding.

I had a very pleasant stay so I’m giving it 5 stars. Very close to the train station and 3 convenience stores. At scheduled times, they would provide free udon and alcoholic beverages.
