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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I spent 3 nights in March at the Hotel Yuraku Kyoyasak in a suite with the private onsen and it was genuinely one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 location is the best. The room is pretty large in Japan for a 5 person family. There is coin laundry on site. Overall it is very good.

Basic, quiet, modern, self-service hotel in a perfect location. One of the best showers ever!
No issues with check-out or washing machine as reported by others.

Fantastic location if you are looking to stay in the Gion area. Rooms are surprisingly spacious for a Japanese hotel and it has good amenities including a laundromat.

My family of three had a wonderful stay at Laon Inn Gion Nawate. Despite being located in the bustling Shijo district of Kyoto, the hotel room offered excellent soundproofing.

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.

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.

A fantastic place to stay if you want to experience the atmosphere of old Kyoto. Quiet, beautiful, and especially magical in the evening, when the streets slow down and the city feels timeless.

My partner and I were extremely pleased we chose this hotel for our 3 nights in Kyoto. Our room was quite comfortable, with great mattresses and nice firm pillows.

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.

Honestly, can’t really believe that this hotel is only three stars. Our state was fantastic and it was by far our favorite hotel of our entire trip.
The location is so convenient.

We had a fantastic stay here during our time in Kyoto, we couldn’t believe the size of the room and how good the facilities in the room were.

We LOVE Hotel Gion!

This hotel is truly amazing. The hospitality here is perfect. The staff super friendly, everything was cleaned, the room was perfect, bed was comfortable, hotel location for me was good too.

Amazing hotel! Rooms are very big for Japan hotel. Working table and a chair and lots of space. Clean. Convenient. Friendly atmosphere. Location is also good.

Everything was lovely, especially the bathroom. The staff members helped us a lot with reservations and local communication.
