Tsukihi House Kyoto
Staying at Tsukihi House Kyoto was an unforgettable experience. The traditional Japanese architecture beautifully blends with modern touches—wooden beams, tatami floors, and minimalist design create a serene, authentic atmosphere. Despite its old-world charm, the room is fully equipped with modern comforts like air conditioning and a well-maintained bathroom. I loved waking up to the quiet of the neighborhood, just steps away from Gion’s historic streets. The location is perfect for exploring Kyoto on foot or by subway. It’s rare to find such a peaceful yet convenient stay with such a high level of comfort and character. Definitely one of the most memorable stays I’ve had in Japan.
TSUBOMI luxury Inn Shimabara Bettei 1
Staying at Tsubomi Luxury Inn Shimabara Bettei 1 was an absolute delight. The hotel is immaculately clean and well-maintained, with a quiet, peaceful atmosphere that made it feel like a true retreat. What stood out most was the convenient location—just a 15-minute walk to the Kyoto Railway Museum, where you can see the famous Tomás locomotive up close. It’s a great spot for train enthusiasts or families with kids. Plus, getting to major attractions like Fushimi Inari Shrine or Kiyomizu-dera is super easy via local bus, usually taking only 20 to 30 minutes without transfers. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall experience felt both comfortable and authentic. Highly recommend this gem if you're looking for a peaceful yet well-connected base in Kyoto.
Hiyori Juraku
The place was generally great—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The Wi-Fi connection was quite unreliable, and the air conditioner was extremely loud, which made it hard to sleep or relax. We reached out to the host for help, but they just suggested lowering the fan speed, which didn’t fix the noise issue. Since the room got really cold, we ended up not using the AC at all. It was a bit disappointing because of that, but apart from those problems, the rest of the stay was pleasant. The location is convenient, and the space felt cozy and thoughtfully designed. Would still consider returning if the internet and AC issues were resolved.
Kyo No Oozora Saika
The check-in process was quite frustrating and more complicated than expected. Navigating to the exact location was confusing, with unclear signage making it difficult to find the hotel entrance. Even after arriving, getting assistance felt delayed, and the front desk procedure lacked smoothness. While the room itself was clean and the overall atmosphere quiet, the poor navigation and inefficient check-in experience significantly impacted my stay. A clearer map or better on-site directions would make a big difference for future guests.
Kagan Hotel & Hostel
I was truly impressed with Kagan Hotel & Hostel in Kyoto. The location is excellent—just a short walk to Gion and Fushimi Inari, making it super convenient for exploring the city. The room itself was spotless and beautifully modern, giving off a clean, fresh vibe that instantly put me at ease. Even though the front desk isn’t staffed around the clock (it’s a semi-self-check-in system), I appreciated being able to drop off my bags early before check-in time—a small but thoughtful touch. The bed was incredibly comfortable, perfect for a good night’s rest after a day of sightseeing. The shower had great water pressure and hot water flowed consistently—exactly what you want after a long day. Staff were friendly and helpful whenever I needed something. Overall, this place offers an unbeatable mix of style, cleanliness, and convenience. Definitely a top pick for travelers visiting Kyoto.
Guest House Kyorakuya Kinkakuji
Staying at this guesthouse was an absolute delight. The place is immaculately clean and offers a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere right from the moment you step in. Located just a short walk from Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), it's incredibly convenient for exploring Kyoto’s top sights. Public transportation is easily accessible nearby, and there are plenty of local cafes and small shops within walking distance—perfect for grabbing snacks or essentials. The host was incredibly friendly and offered helpful tips on navigating the area and visiting nearby attractions. It’s rare to find such a cozy, well-maintained stay with such great value. I’d highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Kyoto—it made my trip truly memorable.
RYOKAN YAMAZAKI
Staying at Ryokan Yamazaki was an absolute delight—so glad we chose this hidden gem! The rooms were spotless, the futons incredibly comfortable, and the breakfasts were absolutely delicious. The location is perfect—serene, clean air, surrounded by beautiful traditional neighborhoods. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. Truly 1000/10 service! Just a quick heads-up: the nearest bus stops serve only two routes, and they stop running at a certain time, so plan your travel accordingly. Despite that small note, the experience was flawless. If you're visiting Kyoto, don’t miss this place—it’s worth every penny.
Mibuan
Staying at Mibuan Hotel was an absolute delight! The hotel offers bicycles, which made our short stroll to the station both fun and relaxing—perfect for taking in the local scenery along the way. Even better, they’re pet-friendly, so my dog could join me throughout the trip without any worries. The atmosphere is peaceful, the staff were welcoming, and the overall experience felt like a true home away from home. Highly recommend this gem in Kyoto!
Trad Guest House Kyoto Kyomachiya
Absolutely loved my stay here! It felt so authentic—like I was living like a local in Kyoto. The location is perfect: just a short walk to Gion and Kiyomachi Street, and the subway station is right nearby. The room has that charming old-school vibe you don’t find in modern hotels—yes, there was a little dust on top of the air conditioner, but honestly, it’s an older property, and that adds to the character rather than detracting from it. I appreciated the included washing machine with detergent—so convenient for longer stays. The staff were quick to respond and super friendly. If you're looking for a true traditional experience with a touch of rustic charm, this place delivers. Honestly, I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to feel like they’re part of Kyoto, not just visiting it. 9.8/10—almost perfect!
Onya Tachibana
Traveling solo can be nerve-wracking, but staying at Onya Tachibana in Kyoto made me feel completely safe. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, so walking back to the hotel at night felt natural and secure—no worries at all. The room itself was spotless, modern, and well-equipped with everything I needed. It’s one of the most comfortable stays I’ve had in recent years. Special shoutout to the Chinese-speaking staff member who greeted me—her kindness and warm attitude really stood out. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcome. From the location to the service, every detail felt thoughtfully designed. I’d absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Kyoto. A top choice for travelers seeking a peaceful, authentic, and safe home away from home.
Stay Sakura Kyoto Nijo Seasons
Walking into the property immediately gave me a warm and welcoming vibe. The apartment is incredibly well-equipped—kitchen has a microwave, fridge, induction cooktop, plus all the essentials like knives, pots, pans, and dishes. It made cooking with fresh groceries from the local supermarket so easy and enjoyable—felt like being at home. I especially appreciated the washer and dryer setup; they even provided laundry balls, and drying clothes in the bathroom using the built-in dryer was super convenient. My kids had a blast exploring the room, turning it into their own little hide-and-seek playground—no worries about them falling out of bed thanks to the safe layout. The only minor downside? No convenience store nearby, but there’s a small grocery shop just a short walk away. There’s also a bus stop right outside the door, making public transport accessible. The nearest JR station is a 10-15 minute walk, which is totally manageable considering how quiet and peaceful the neighborhood is. Plus, you can easily reach the Kitanomaru Park and the famous Kitano Tenman-gu Shrine within a similar walking distance. Overall, this place offers excellent value, comfort, and a true local experience. I’d definitely come back for my next trip to Kyoto—and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, hassle-free stay.
Floral Green Maple House
Staying at Floral Green Maple House in Kyoto was an absolute delight! The room was immaculately clean and surprisingly well-equipped—complete with a washing machine, stove, microwave, and even a dryer right in the bathroom. I loved being able to wash and dry my clothes on-site; it felt so convenient and homely. The staff were incredibly attentive and genuinely warm throughout the entire stay. I accidentally left my headphones behind, and instead of just waiting for me to notice, they reached out immediately and arranged to send them back to Tokyo—such a thoughtful gesture! It really made the experience stand out. Located right near Shijo Kawaramachi, everything is within walking distance, and the overall vibe is cozy yet modern. This place offers incredible value and service that feels personal and genuine. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.
