ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kyoto
This trip, I stayed at ANA Crowne Plaza hotels in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe—without a doubt, the most relaxing was the one in Kyoto. While it’s not located right in the bustling heart of the city, that quiet, peaceful atmosphere is exactly what made it special. The hotel features a serene water feature, and from my room, I could enjoy views of Nijo Castle across the street—such a tranquil setting. Kyoto itself has a calming charm; the streets feel welcoming, unhurried, and full of character. It’s not just about the location—it’s the overall vibe. The staff were attentive, the room was comfortable, and the balance between comfort and calm made this stay truly memorable. Definitely my top pick among the three.
The Root2 Hotel
The stay at The Root2 Hotel was fantastic overall! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and their friendliness really made the experience special. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from major attractions and surrounded by great local eateries. Public transportation access is super convenient, which is a big plus for travelers like us. The only minor downside was the couch in the room, which had a few stains—nothing major, but something worth noting. Still, it didn’t take away from the excellent service or the comfortable, modern rooms. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a peaceful, well-located base in Kyoto.
Kyoto City Gardens Hotel
The staff at Kyoto City Gardens Hotel were absolutely exceptional—so friendly and proactive. They even allowed me to check in early on the same day, which was a huge plus. The hotel is just a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. I loved how quiet and peaceful the place felt while still being close to everything. The location, service, and overall vibe made this stay unforgettable. Definitely my top pick for future visits to Kyoto.
Kohaku an Machiya House
Our stay at Kohaku an Machiya House was absolutely delightful. The location couldn’t have been better—bus stops are right outside the door, and the train station is just a short walk away, making it super convenient for exploring Kyoto. There’s also a pharmacy and convenience store within a 1-2 minute stroll, which was incredibly handy. My sister and I truly fell in love with the place from the moment we arrived. When she came down with a mild cold, the staff went out of their way to help—so kind and thoughtful. The house itself has a beautiful traditional machiya charm, with a peaceful, authentic atmosphere that made us feel right at home. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, culture, and hospitality. We can’t recommend this gem enough.
Gion Ryokan Karaku
Absolutely unforgettable! We chose Gion Ryokan Karaku on purpose to experience authentic Japanese hospitality, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The tatami room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable—sleeping on the floor felt cozy and warm, even in winter thanks to excellent heating. The bathroom and shower are separated, both immaculate and featuring a unique traditional Japanese design. Hot water flows generously, though it took a few tries to figure out how to adjust the showerhead at first. Location-wise, it's perfect: just a 3-minute walk to Yasaka Shrine, less than 20 minutes to the heart of Teramachi Street, and around 20 minutes to Kiyomizu-dera—plus, the route is packed with charming cafes, shops, and scenic spots. You’ll end up wandering longer than planned because there’s so much to enjoy along the way. Kyoto is magical, and every day felt like an adventure. Returning to the ryokan after a full day of exploring was pure bliss. Thank you, Gion Ryokan Karaku, for such a wonderful stay—we can’t wait to come back!
Six Senses Kyoto
Staying at Six Senses Kyoto was an absolute highlight of my trip to Japan. From the moment I walked in, the warm and thoughtful Japanese hospitality stood out—staff were polite, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. The hotel itself feels fresh and modern, with a strong emphasis on sustainability woven into every detail, from the food and drinks to the design. I couldn’t book the spa (it’s famously popular), but the on-site hot spring was a wonderful alternative—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The omakase restaurant downstairs was an unforgettable experience; watching the chef craft each piece of sushi with such precision and care felt like art in motion. Even though I had the place mostly to myself during dinner and drinks at the bar, service remained impeccable and personal. Breakfast was a half-self-service spread—I enjoyed the Western-style options, though the omelette could’ve been fluffier. The Japanese rice was excellent, and while other dishes were just average, the welcome fruits and little pastries added a sweet touch, even if they didn’t quite hit the mark flavor-wise. A small disappointment: no welcome champagne, but that’s just a minor note in what was otherwise a flawless stay. If you’re looking for a serene, eco-conscious retreat with exceptional service and culinary charm, this is it.
Kyoran Kisaragitei
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.
Loisir Hotel Kyoto Toji
The location is excellent—just a short walk from Kyoto Station, making it super convenient for exploring the city and getting around by train. The hotel is spotlessly clean with all the essentials you’d expect, and the room amenities are well thought out. The only minor downside is that the two beds are placed side by side, which might not be ideal if you prefer more space between sleeping areas. One thing to note: after booking online, there’s an additional tax to pay upon check-in—I initially thought it was a deposit and even asked the front desk for a refund at checkout, only to get a confused look in return! Lesson learned. Also, if you want housekeeping service, make sure to place a sign outside your door—unlike some hotels back home, they don’t automatically assume cleaning is needed. Overall, this is a great stay with strong value for money, especially given the central location and clean, modern rooms. I’d definitely recommend it.
RESI STAY Gojozaka
Absolutely loved my stay! The hotel is perfectly located right next to major attractions, making it super convenient to explore Kyoto's top sights without needing to travel far. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with modern amenities. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the thoughtful touches that made the experience feel personal. Being just steps away from local charm and culture made the whole trip even more memorable. Highly recommend this spot for travelers who want a peaceful retreat while staying in the heart of the action.
Kamo Residences by Reflections
Staying at Kamo Residences by Reflections felt like coming home—warm, inviting, and full of thoughtful touches that made our trip unforgettable. Every detail, from the quiet garden nook on the first floor with its subtle fragrance to the serene view of the Kamo River just outside, created a peaceful retreat. The fresh air and natural beauty were invigorating—every breath felt like recharging your soul. The platform’s VIP group was incredibly helpful, offering personalized recommendations for restaurants and local spots we wouldn’t have found otherwise. It’s rare to find such comfort, charm, and genuine hospitality in one place. If we ever return to Kyoto, this will be our first choice again.
Kyoto Hot Spring Hatoya Zuihokaku Hotel
Staying here for three nights was an absolute delight! The hotel is incredibly clean and well-maintained, with a warm, authentic Japanese atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The breakfast was a standout—each morning brought a slightly different selection, keeping things fresh and enjoyable. I especially appreciated the friendly and attentive staff at the front desk; two of the ladies were genuinely helpful and went out of their way to assist us with any concerns. Their kindness truly enhanced our experience. Located just a short walk from major attractions like Gion and Fushimi Inari, it’s super convenient for exploring Kyoto. This place offers excellent value and comfort—definitely a top pick for anyone visiting the city.
The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection
Staying at The Prince Kyoto Takaragaike, Autograph Collection was an absolute delight. The atmosphere is wonderfully serene and peaceful—every corner of the hotel feels thoughtfully designed and impeccably clean. I especially appreciated the breakfast spread: fresh, flavorful Japanese dishes like silky miso soup and perfectly grilled fish made my mornings truly special. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to nearby temples and excellent access to subway lines for exploring other parts of Kyoto. The quiet, cozy ambiance made it feel like a true retreat from the city’s hustle. It's rare to find such comfort, convenience, and charm all in one place. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a memorable experience. I’ll definitely be back.
