I had a fantastic stay at Urban Hotel Kyoto Fushimi! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful right from check-in. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—right next to a chain fast-food restaurant and a FamilyMart convenience store, so all essentials are just steps away. Best of all, it’s super close to Fushimi Inari Shrine—walking there took me only about 10 minutes, which made exploring the famous torii gates so convenient. I appreciated the self-service laundry room, perfect for longer stays or travelers with lots of clothes. Housekeeping comes every three days for a full clean, but they still leave fresh towels and new trash bags outside the door daily—such a thoughtful touch. Clean, well-located, and great value. I’d definitely book here again on my next trip to Kyoto!

This was my first trip to Kyoto, and I'm so glad I chose this hotel! The room was much larger than I expected—spacious and spotlessly clean, which made the stay really comfortable. What stood out most was the location: just across from a subway station, with a bus stop right in front of the hotel. Getting to Kiyomizu-dera took only a couple of stops on the train—super convenient. It's also close to Kyoto Station, making travel around the city a breeze. There are several local convenience stores like Lawson nearby, plus a few great little eateries for quick meals or snacks. The overall value for money is excellent, whether you're here for sightseeing or just a short overnight stay. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Staying at Andnext Holiday House was a fantastic experience. The room was spotlessly clean and well-equipped with everything we needed—no missing essentials. I appreciated how clearly the waste sorting instructions were posted, making it easy to follow local guidelines. The location is excellent: just a short 5-minute walk from the station, which made getting around Kyoto super convenient. We also loved having our own private living area, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The bathroom was a highlight—fully separated into dry and wet zones, and I was able to dry my clothes right in the shower area, which was incredibly practical. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed, and the value for money is outstanding.

If you're looking for a genuine Japanese homestay experience with warm and welcoming hosts, this place is absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the host Lanlan was incredibly helpful—she even handed us a map and gave clear directions when we were rushing around trying to settle in. The entire family is so kind and made us feel like VIP guests. Her husband helped carry our luggage, and Lanlan herself took time to walk us through every corner of the house. There's a fully equipped kitchen for cooking and laundry facilities, which is super convenient. The space is clean, cozy, and full of charm—feels just like staying at a friend’s home. The rooms are spacious enough to lay out two large suitcases easily, and the separate shower and toilet area made it easy for two people to freshen up without waiting. It's literally a 1-minute walk to the bus stop and only 10 minutes on foot to Kyoto Station—location couldn’t be better! We’d definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Kyoto. Wishing Lanlan and her family continued happiness and good health!

I stayed here for an extended period, and I truly appreciated the peaceful, quiet atmosphere. While some reviews mentioned difficulty finding the way from the station, I received a helpful video guide in advance, which made navigation straightforward and stress-free. If you're expecting a typical business hotel, this place will surprise you—it feels more like staying at a cozy countryside relative’s home, warm and welcoming. The only small suggestion: adding a few cushions or soft seating options in the living area would enhance comfort, especially during summer when there's no kotatsu. Sitting directly on the floor might be uncomfortable for guests not used to it. Overall, the experience was excellent—quiet, authentic, and great value for money. Perfect for travelers seeking a relaxing retreat away from the city buzz.

Staying at Kyoran Kisaragitei was an absolute delight. The moment I stepped into the property, I was captivated by the serene garden area—perfectly manicured with traditional Japanese elements that create a calming atmosphere. The room itself was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with modern comforts blended seamlessly with classic design. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like high-quality toiletries and excellent bedding. What truly stood out was the location—within walking distance to major attractions like Gion and Kiyomizu-dera, yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. There are plenty of local cafes, boutiques, and restaurants nearby, making it easy to explore Kyoto’s charm without needing to travel far. For a peaceful retreat with great convenience, this place is a must-book.

I have to be honest—this place isn’t ideal if you’re a light sleeper. The hotel backs directly onto the railway line, and trains still pass by late at night, even after midnight. That said, the location is absolutely unbeatable. You’re just a short walk from Fushimi Inari Shrine, making it super convenient for early morning visits or exploring the famous torii gates. Public transportation is also very accessible, with easy access to Kyoto’s main areas. If you’re not too sensitive to noise and prioritize convenience and charm over silence, this is a fantastic choice. Just grab a pair of earplugs, and you’ll enjoy a great stay in one of Kyoto’s most iconic neighborhoods.

The accommodation was spotless and perfectly located near Kujo-Kawaramachi, making it super convenient for exploring Kyoto. I loved how close it was to local restaurants, shops, and public transit—everything I needed was within walking distance.

Staying at Randor Hotel Kyoto Suites was a fantastic experience.

There are plenty of convenience stores nearby, so grabbing snacks or essentials is never an issue. I stayed in a room that’s around 50 sqm (about 500 sq ft) for only 400 per night—this kind of space and value is hard to beat in Kyoto. The unit was clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed. The location, comfort, and affordability make this a top choice for any traveler planning to explore the city. I’ll definitely be coming back here on my next trip to Kyoto.

Staying at Kyoto U-Bell Hotel was a fantastic experience. The hotel is just about 2 km from Kyoto Station, with a convenient shuttle service that takes around 10 minutes—super easy for getting in and out. Kyoto Station itself is already a great place to explore, and right across the street is Avanti Mall, where you’ll find a Daiso and Seria, perfect for last-minute souvenirs or small essentials. The toiletries provided were top-notch—Pola brand products, especially the shampoo, which I absolutely loved. They also included disposable slippers, a nice little touch. It’s a bit of a walk to Fushimi Inari (about 40 minutes), but the trip to Kiyomizu-dera is still manageable if you’re up for it. There are plenty of nearby options: a convenience store, Domino’s Pizza, and a great ramen shop—all within walking distance. The closest subway station is only an 8-minute walk away, making public transit super accessible. Overall, the location, amenities, and comfort make this a standout choice. I’d definitely book here again on my next visit to Kyoto.

Staying at this charming inn in Kyoto was an absolute delight. The host was incredibly warm and welcoming, going out of their way to make us feel at home—especially loved the personal photos they took for us as souvenirs! The room itself was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed with a unique local touch. One of the best parts?

The hotel is completely honest about what’s offered—no surprises, just comfort and convenience. One small note: there's a 200 JPY per person per night tourist tax to pay upon check-in, but it’s worth it for such a great stay. Payment options include both cash and credit cards, so no worries there. Overall, this place delivers exactly what it promises—great value, top-notch location, and a stress-free experience. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to any traveler visiting Kyoto.
