Staying at The Thousand Kyoto was an absolute delight. The hotel is incredibly close to the subway station, and getting here from the airport via the express line is seamless—no hassle at all.

Staying at Kyoto Century Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip. The hotel is literally right next to the station—just a quick walk through the theater area, and you're there. It's incredibly convenient, especially with so many great dining options right around the station. The lobby is stunning, elegant, and well-designed—photo 3 captures it perfectly. The front desk staff were friendly and attentive; they even offered DHC toiletries and asked if we’d like to upgrade our room since occupancy was low. We declined because we only stayed one night before heading to Himeji, but looking back, having a bathtub would’ve been nice after a full day of walking. That said, the bed was incredibly comfortable—probably one of the best sleeps I’ve had on the road. The room wasn’t as small as I expected either; it felt spacious and well-appointed. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations. If I’m ever back in Kyoto, I’ll definitely book here again. Highly recommend for convenience, comfort, and value.

The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, adding to the overall positive experience. With its great location, clean rooms, and thoughtful layout, this hotel offers excellent value. Definitely planning to return.
Staying at Hotel Keihan Kyoto Grande was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—direct access to Kansai Airport bus right outside the door, making travel into Kyoto super convenient. I booked a room on the 13th floor, which is their VIP floor, accessible only with a key card. It felt exclusive and peaceful. There’s a small lounge area with a drink station offering free coffee, juice, soda, and even complimentary skincare products—super thoughtful touches. Breakfast is absolutely worth booking in advance. The buffet is extensive, featuring a wide range of Japanese and Western options, and what really stood out? They serve sake at breakfast!

The staff were exceptionally courteous and welcoming from the moment we arrived.

The room was a bit compact, but spotlessly clean and well-maintained—definitely comfortable for a short stay. The American breakfast had limited options, but it was fresh and satisfying enough for me. Location-wise, it's incredibly convenient—just a quick walk from Kyoto Station, right across the street with a quiet little alley nearby, so no noise or traffic disturbance. Best of all, you can see the Kyoto Tower from the window, which adds such a nice touch to the view. The front desk even handed me a discount voucher for visiting the Kyoto Tower itself, so I took the chance to check it out—great experience! Overall, despite the small room size, the cleanliness, location, and added perks made this stay very worthwhile. I’d definitely consider returning.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
