Kyoto SPA hotels

I don’t normally write reviews. However I had to — for this fabulous hotel. I simply cannot fathom the bad reviews. I booked, was then apprehensive when I read some negative reviews.

The highlight of 2.5 weeks in Japan. From start to finish, very welcoming staff. Room 209 was spacious and just modern enough. Highlight was the bathroom with shower and soaking tub.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were nice, spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

This was the third country, after the United States and China, where I have stayed at a property under the Discovery alliance, and my very first time in Japan.

We had a wonderful stay here and couldn’t recommend it more. The staff were truly exceptional — so kind, attentive, and thoughtful throughout our visit.

The hotel gives a very authentic and rooted Japanese experience while being luxurious. The service and attention to detail is immaculate.

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.

This was really one of the coolest hotels we’ve ever stayed at. When we arrived, We were given a tour of the building by one of the staff who is studying game design and working there for school/work

I’ll echo the positive reviews already here!
We stayed here for a single night as a celebration after finishing the Kyoto Marathon 2026 (sponsored by Nintendo this year!

Our stay at the Park Hyatt Kyoto was, quite simply, the pinnacle of hospitality.

Our stay at Park Hyatt Kyoto was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless, thoughtful, and truly world-class.

Stayed here on our recent trip to Kyoto and took the suite with the private sauna and large soaking tub. It was wonderful, private, quiet, and spacious.

This is my second time staying at Gion Elite Terrace. First time with a group of friends and, recently, my mother.

We stayed here in 2023 and my husband and I still find ourselves reminiscing about it. It was such a beautiful hotel and an unforgettable experience.

Having access to the Executive Lounge both before check-in and after check-out truly elevated the overall stay.

An amazing hotel with super kind and helpful staff! Our room was perfect and very spacious. The room itself is beautiful and elegant and really made our trip to Kyoto so much more enjoyable!

The best place we stayed in Japan. So zen and so relaxing. The service was top notch and people were so friendly. 15 min walk to Kyoto station (main station for high speed rail).

Our stay was very comfortable, with a spacious room, comfortable bed, and great bathroom facilities.

We enjoyed our 4 nights' stay at The Thousand, the hotel is very well located just across the road from Kyoto Station (exit 5). It has a very nice atmosphere with its minimalist and modern design.

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.

Love dormy inn group, most of my visits to Japan, I'll make sure I'll book my stay here, the staff are well trained and excellent service.

So far, I’ve stayed in four hotels in Japan and this had the most spacious room (granted, two of the others were at a lower price point). The desk area and shower door need a deep clean.

Highly recommend staying at this hotel if you want a higher end experience. The rooms were very generously sized for Japan travel and the amenities were top-notch!

We had a beautiful stay at The Celestine Kyoto Gion.

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.

The rooms are great fabulous size for Japan. Has a shower and bath in a room with hanging space for your washing as there is a washer dryer.

For a 3 Star hotel, this place definitely exceeded our expectations! The amenities are all well stocked. The room is spacious with 4 super single beds.

Pros:
Very comfortable bed and a lovely bathroom. The location is convenient, and coffee and tea are available at all times.

Dhawa Yura Kyoto offers a well-composed and consistently positive stay. The hotel combines a modern, understated design with a calm atmosphere that feels appropriate for Kyoto.

This Onsen hot spring hotel is great. The rooms are compact, but feels spacious.

We stayed at Onyado Nono Kyoto with our children and had a really wonderful experience.

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.

A gem in kyoto, perfect location in all climates (you will be grateful for the porte-cochère)
From the moment the wafts of incense meet you on arrival, it is a cocoon of beauty, serenity and peace —

We had an incredible stay at Six Senses Kyoto. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming in a way that felt effortless rather than scripted, which set the tone for the whole stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at Dusit Thani Kyoto. It was truly the highlight of our Japan trip in 2025.
Everything about the hotel was exceptional.

My Wife and I stayed here 4 nights on our honeymoon trip to Japan. I was extremely impressed with the level of service. The staff was so welcoming and hospitable.

Our stay at Fauchon Hotel Kyoto was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and exceptional hospitality that made us feel right at home.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay truly five stars from the very beginning. From the moment we arrived, the receptionist made our visit feel incredibly special.

Absolutely amazing hotel. We have just enjoyed 14 fabulous nights in one of their spacious, beautifully appointed suites on the top floor, where they even provide you with fresh pyjamas each night.

This hotel was such a great find. Excellent location & room was perfect for family of four (from Australia) with two teenagers without having to book two hotel rooms.

Absolutely loved my stay at hotel androoms. Room was large and comfortable, with a beautiful bathroom. Coat brush and shoe horn provided, as well as pajamas and other amenities.

Great place to relax and unwind after spending the day in Tokyo!  Staff were extra kind and extremely helpful.  The facilities and decor are top-notch.

We stayed at hotel tou for a total of 5 nights in October. We stayed at the superior queen suite for 3 nights and the terrace suite for 2 nights.

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.
