Kyoto hotels with breakfast near Old Rissei Elementary School

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 arrived in Kyoto from Tokyo on board the Shinkansen for one-night, from 01Dec to 02 Dec2025.

This is a wonderful gem of a place nestled in a quiet alley in the Gion area. The rooms were clean and tastefully done. An authentic experience. Will definitely return if I ever return to Kyoto.

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.

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.

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.

Rooms are not the biggest but perfect for the 2 of us for 3 nights. Great location, very clean with with everything amenities required for a very comfortable stay. Highly recommend this hotel.

If you just want somewhere smart and clean to sleep, shower and store your little suitcase this place is great. Location excellent: near the sights but only on a moderately busy road. Size: small.

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.

We chose to stay at Hotel Muso in Kyoto based on a friend’s recommendation and we are so glad we did.

Clean and spacious room. Very professional and polite hospitality by their staff. Clear instructions to hotel’s access and amenities.

ASAI Kyoto Shijo is in a fantastic location and a great choice for exploring Kyoto. We stayed for three nights in October and would happily return anytime.

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at in Japan!
Highlights:
— Chill, friendly staff.
— Room is clean, nice wooden floors, aesthetically pleasing.

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.

We stayed in the deluxe four bed room, and it was lovely! The staff was very attentive and helped us with forwarding our luggage. I also loved the welcome treat!

Loved this hotel will definitely be back. Onsen is great and they provide stickers for your tattoo is in the front lobby.

Such a unique experience to be able to stay "in" an artwork! We were in the Mon Koutaro Ooyama room (#601) and it was amazing!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at BnA Alter Museum—from the fantastic location by Gion to the spacious rooms and beautiful bathroom, it was a very enjoyable experience!

Amazing location on a central street in Sanjo, within walking distance of all the main shopping areas and with easy access to sightseeing spots and other cities.

Had a lovely stay here — The location is ideal as it is on the main road in central Kyoto as well as close to the river, however not noisy at all.

Superb hotel, far beyond what we expected. Erase your expectations of the typical American suburban HGI — this hotel is not that at all.

I need to talk about our wonderful stay and truly memorable experience at the Hilton Garden Inn Kyoto Shijo Karasuma!

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.

Gorgeous hotel that's part of a Buddhist temple! PSA, there is incense in the lobby (not on guest floors) if that smell bothers you. Rooms were spacious with fridges!

This hotel is beautiful! The staff are so friendly and helpful, arranging our luggage transfers for us. The rooms are really spacious and lovely and the Onsen is the nicest we've used so far.

Wonderful hotel and staff rooms are great but the hotel is a bit dated.

My wife and I had a great stay at Hotel Alza Kyoto. The room was surprisingly spacious and very quiet, even though the hotel is close to the main areas of Kyoto.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nestled in the historic Higashiyama district, DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Higashiyama offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional Kyoto charm.

Great hotel at affordable rates. Maybe 20 mins walking distance to Gion and 1 min to Kyoto subway, 10 mins taxi from Kyoto station. Rooms were well appointed and immaculate.

4 nights here at the end of December 2025 thru New Years Day. Loved it for location, breakfast, bar, laundry and public bath.

This boutique modern blended hotel with traditional interior design brings a great value for the location (close to Gion & Kawaramachi)!

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.
