4-Star Hotels in Kyoto near Old Rissei Elementary School4*

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.

Yugen Kyoto Shijo is by far my favourite hotel stay to date! Wow. What an amazing hotel that felt like an experience.

This has been our FAVORITE hotel while traveling in Japan! 🤩 The price is reasonable, the service is excellent and the location can’t be matched.

We had a wonderful stay at Fauchon Hotel Kyoto and would gladly return.
The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable.

Words can’t begin to describe how much my family and I loved staying at Fauchon Kyoto.

I have nothing but praise for this hotel. My friend got very sick right before we had to leave.

Very well managed hotel with gorgeous views from the rooftop bar and complimentary coffee and ice cream at their reception desk.

The Minn Sanjo hotel was a perfect place to stay on our trip to Kyoto.
First, the location is excellent.

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

This hotel/ryokan is a hidden gem. Beautiful decor and amenities. Wonderful staff that make one feel like family; they are exceptionally polite and helpful in every way.

We are just grabbing our taxi to Kyoto station. This was one of the most pleasurable stays I have had by far.

I was pleasantly surprised with the two bunk bed room in the 4th floor.

Excellent hotel. Amazing staff. Good coffee 24/7 in the lobby.

If you’re looking for a location, that’s relaxing and welcoming. That’s immersed in Japanese culture will also be extremely accommodating to travelers. This is your spot!

Perfect location in the heart of Kiyomizudera, just one street away from the crowded tourist area. Easy walk to Sannenzaka, Ninenzaka, Gion, and other spots.

Perfectly located next to Gion and just a 5-minute walk from the bridge to the city center. Convenient access to Kyoto’s main temples and attractions, either on foot or by a short bus/metro ride.

The place is lovely and new, good area, and the staff are lovely. Beds are on the firm side, but very comfortable and with good quality linen. Very happy with our choice.

This was our favourite hotel in Japan.
The location is very central to Kyoto, but did not feel too crowded and overwhelming.

My partner and I stayed at sequence for 3 nights in October 2025 in a twin room.
We initially chose it for the amenities and value for money. The room was spacious, modern and stylish.

The place where you feel like home❤️the owners are true gem❤️❤️❤️accommodation, food, location — 100 out of 10💖
Best homemade Japanese vegan food ever💖
Despite its the traditional house they have the

Best experience ever, the mutu family were super friendly and welcoming, they are very nice people really, the house is so adorable and sleeping on floor was best sleep I had.

The rooms are clean and this hotel has some super fun amenities.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We arrived earlier than check in, and the hotel allowed us to store our luggage. Having laundry was great.

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.

The host is very friendly, providing personalized sightseeing recommendations on hand-drawn notes that are both cute and detailed. The location is excellent! The house is clean and well-maintained!

Amazing location and perfect place to experience the real Japanese life! Walking distance to many places, the owner is super friendly and supportive! I recommend staying here!

We had 4 nights at this hotel and found it very comfortable. Great location within 5 minutes of the covered market streets and Nishiki market.

Well situated: near the famous market, great restaurants in the area and not far to a metro station to get to the shrines and temples on the eastern side of Kyoto.

Spanning an entire floor, a large room with a large living room with large windows and a small indoor garden (and rock garden entryway) in an excellent Gion location!

The main advantage of this hotel is the location in the old parts of town, which means that you can walk to several of the attractions.

The good: very friendly staff, options to have more pillows, an iron, electricity plug converters, etc. Great coffee and nice toiletry selection. Modern-looking and comfortable rooms.

Stayed 3 nights in the Moderate Double Room.
CHECK-IN.
Smooth, nothing much to comment. Agoda stated guests would be charged at check-in for the city tax.

Our stay at Tazuru was great! In particular, Reiko Yoshimura and Yumiko Inoue (as well as a gentleman colleague of theirs) were highly professional and attended to our queries comprehensively.

Everything was great and we really enjoyed our stay at this traditional ryokan hotel. Check-in was easy and we were able to check in a little earlier without issues.

This is a great hotel, especially for the price we paid! The room is spacious, clean, and cozy.

The hotel is located in Gion, close to all action. We stayed for 3 nights and it was nice. We had a nice, but rather small room. We were welcomed with a water.

Beautiful place to stay. Very helpful and nice hostess. Very close to downtown Kyoto.

Thank you for taking care of us for 3 days. Although it's close to Higashiyama Station, it's tucked away from noisy areas, so it was a very calming experience.

We love this place! The staff are so kind and the service is top tier. The rooms are a very traditional Japanese style and clean and the bath is also very clean which we love.

Stayed here for only a night. The room was spacious and it was my first time staying in a traditional room. Fit 4 people into one room. Also my first experience in onsen.

Stayed at Kabin Koji and it was a genuinely lovely experience.

Very clean, feels luxury. Rooms very comfortable although not much space to have your luggage opened. The location is fantastic, about 15-20 minutes walk to a lot of central areas.
