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

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.

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.

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.

The room is very impressive for the price. Very clean.

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.

Amazing Ryokan in Gion. Walking distance to the big tourist spots in the area, as well as restaurants closer to the river. Backs up to a beautiful park as well.

Hotel Yuraku Kyoyasaka is a amazing ryokan!
Upon arrival, the check in staff were very helpful and informative. She explained everything we needed for our visit.
The room is beautiful and peaceful.

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.

Location is perfect for shopping and transport. It’s in the middle of the busy shopping area with access to metro and all bus lines. Rooms are big by Japanese standards.

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.

There are six rooms per floor. Two face the back, one the side, three the front. We were thrilled our room faced the back, because the street in front is so busy you can hardly run across.

A little apartment with everything you need for your time in Kyoto. Includes washing machine, microwave, cooker, hairdryer and fridge freezer. Location great for the old parts of Kyoto.

I‘M ONLY RATING THE COFFEE SHOP.
Very cute little coffee shop and homestay. They have a lot of home made bagels that are served with cream cheese or some other toppings. The bagels are nicely chewy.

Absolutely amazing food and very kind people, would recommend visiting if in Kyoto and the ham cheese bagel plus scrambled eggs is fantastic.

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.

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.

You can walk to Kiyomizu Dera temple.
Very friendly staffs.
From window room (I was staying at 4th floor), you can see Kyoto scenery including the mountain.

The hotel is in s great location. It is easy get around by foot or subway.
The front desk is very helpful.
Breakfast in includes and is filling and delicious, it rotates.

The hotel, location, and amenities were great. Staff at the front desk spoke great English and the luggage forwarding was a fantastic touch. The room was spacious and comfortable.

Excellent hotel centrally located in Gion, highly walkable to top sights, restaurants, small local shops and massive shopping malls. The staff is great, friendly and efficient.

Staying here was one of the best parts of our trip so far.

Do yourself a favour and stay here! The rooms are so beautiful and comfortable, I could have stayed there all day. I loved the shower and bathtub.

Totally worth it. Spacious room for a budget-friendly hotel in Japan, beautiful neighborhood, friendly and helpful staff. Bus stop is less than 5 minutes away.

Nice hotel. Own spacy shower room. Has everything you need. Some towels seems dirty, but you can easily get new ones. Nice room size.

Words cannot express just how much we're indebted and grateful to the kindness if this hotel's owners.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are quite big for japan standards. Comfy. Its ij a great location near gion or bus stops and a subway station to get about kyoto.

"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.

Large and spacious room with a bit of a view. Quiet location but still within walking distance of a lot.

Phenomenal stay!

We stayed at Gion Kyoka in Kyoto in late January 2026 and had a wonderful experience.

Gion Kyoka felt like a home away from home. The room was spacious, the staff were friendly and the location was ideal, within walking distance to everything.

The double twin is really 2 double beds. This room is amazing. The shower is a separate room and is heating like a steam room. The toilet is unlike anything I have seen.

We stayed at the Yoin Hotel Kyoto Gion four nights during our 10 days in Japan for autumn colors. The hotel is ideally located in the middle of the Gion.

Would book again, 100/10. The hotel location was walkable to many of our must visits, and, was just a few minutes from the bus stop. Shopping and food options within the area, and it stayed quiet.

We had a really nice stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained, and the amenities were great. The staff was very attentive and helpful throughout our stay.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.9/5 – Almost Perfect Stay at Terrace Kiyomizu.
We had a wonderful stay at Terrace Kiyomizu during our trip to Kyoto. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights.

Great hotel near many attractions, restaurants and bus lines. Staff is very nice and attentive. The room is spacious and clean.
