Kyoto Hotels

We stayed at 住 京都小川生薬 VILLA for five nights and really enjoyed the experience.

Here’s a more natural, elegant, and luxurious version—smooth and refined without sounding overdone:
We were truly blown away by every aspect of our stay.

Great hotel stayed in October of 2025 was a gorgeous room with a large bath, fancy bath to be honest, was a great single night stay.

Very nice hotel, good value for money and great staff. Location is top notch! Right by the river, 20 walking minutes to the train station and 15-20 minutes to Old Town.

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.

100% loved this hotel, staff is amazing and speak great English, rooms are spacious and very clean and comfortable. The whole hotel feels brand new and we loved the service and quality provided.

This is a small hotel, without any cafe/restaurant or bar. What they do have are comfortable large rooms, with fantastic bathrooms. Friendly staff. A well functioning laudry facility.

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.

We had the best stay at Minn Gion Sanjo. The location is excellent — very close to the station and still within comfortable walking distance to Gion.

I really enjoyed my stay!

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Hokke Club Kyoto. The location is excellent — Kyoto Station is right in front of the hotel, which made it very easy for me to travel around the city by bus and train.

Transition checking in and out was great. Good value hotel, the location is very convenient infront of Kyoto Station. A 3 star hotel but service is good and staff is helpful.

Excellent location and best base to visit all attractions in Kyoto. Caveat: you must spend 20~30 minutes and to study and understand how the Kyoto bus network works.

I stayed for 8 night during first week of December til the second week of December for momiji seasons.
Pros:
I like that the location is directly above Kyoto station.

The rooms are incredible and well put together. Much larger than most hotels in the city. The service was great — very helpful and show you to your room. You have in room laundry.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but I have to at this hotel. I believe there is probably 8 rooms. From check in it has been a delight. Huge bed, great bathroom. Everything is very luxurious here.

We stayed here for 4 nights in a 2 bed room. Hotel is new and a short walk from the metro station. Also walking distance to the active part of Kyoto including Gion, Kawarmarchi, and Pontocho Alley.

Absolutely one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. I look forward to my return here.
The service is incredible, with staff going above and beyond for our comfort.

Good location. Very friendly staff at the front desk, but won’t be there all the time. Clean, comfortable, lot of storage space, enough utensils for 4 people. The kitchen fan is noisy.

I honestly love the room as it is so spacious! This hotel is right next to the Kyoto station making transportation easy and for kids it is next door to a cat cafe.

We stayed for two nights. Very convenient location-close to everything but there was not enough water given. The apartment is big but somehow there was no closet/space for cloths.

​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.

The room was quite spacious for Kyoto and had a very good shower. We were fine; the only downside was that it was far from everything—central in the city, but away from the main attractions.

Beautiful traditional Japanese style hotel with a garden view in the middle of the room. We stayed for 4 people and the room was huge and spacious with 4 very comfortable beds.

The room is big compared to most hotels and very functional. It’s super cozy, to the point that we didn’t really want to leave the hotel at all.

Amazing hotel I had a wonderful stay! I will definitely be coming back!

Awesome hotel with lovely rooms and both public and private onsen. Whole hotel is floored with tatami mats — so shoes are kept in lockers at reception.

Such a nice place to stay and conveniently located next to the train station + places to eat and shop.
Not to mention right next to the railway museum.

Staffs are helpful and friendly, they can help to store the luggage before and after the stay. There is a coffee machine too for everyone.

Great place, the hotel is quite nice and reasonably priced. Unlike many hotels in Kyoto there is a nice lobby area to sit in. The rooms are quite nice, relatively small but compact and sufficient.

This funky hotel had a lot of charm and some good amenities. The lobby felt like an elevated hostel where lots of people were hanging out with coffee/tea always available.

Super cute hotel! I loved the designs of everything. I thought the room was going to be dark all day, but there is a huge window that allows lots of natural light in the morning.

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.

Basic clean twin bed room with kitchen with aircond room which is added point.
The kitchen is usable. But need some pot silicon mat & table towel to clean off.

The experience was nice, got a good deal for 2 days at just around 12K inr for two days in November peak season. They have small kitchenette and microwave which is very useful.

An amazing experience. The host is fantastic. Unfortunately, 5 stars is the maximum available notation but the place definitely deserves more.

Toni is an incredible host with excellent recommendations for the surrounding city of Kyoto. Kokonoe Machiya is a very beautifully restored Ryokan with gorgeous attention to detail.

Ground floor apartment, very spacious, brand new, and immaculately clean. The linens were spotless and smelled great. The apartment has everything you could need during your stay, and more!

Very nice accommodation. The hosts are great, the place is great and the location is great. Great cats too.

The hotel room is big enough for 3 people with 2 medium + 1 cabin luggages. It comes with a small kitchen with a fridge+freezer.

Spent 3 nights here and we really enjoyed them!

This was our first stay in this tourist area, and we chose this hotel for its location, hot springs, and price. The hot springs in particular were the best in the area.

I had an excellent stay at this hotel. It offers great value for money, with clean and well-maintained rooms. The staff were attentive and friendly, especially in the restaurant.
