Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa
Staying at Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, the service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and seamless. The room was incredibly comfortable, with a plush bed that made it easy to unwind after a busy week in Shanghai. I’m already looking forward to returning in autumn when the maple trees turn vibrant red. The location is perfect for exploring Kyoto, with easy access to public transit.

The Westin Miyako Kyoto
The Westin Miyako Kyoto truly lives up to its reputation—excellent quality and service throughout. Located in eastern Kyoto, it’s just a short walk from Exit 2 of the Keihan Subway's Katsuyama Station, making access super convenient. One of the highlights is the on-site hot spring bath—definitely worth trying if you’re looking to unwind. My initial room was near the street and a bit noisy, but after speaking with the front desk, they quickly arranged a room change. Special thanks to Mr. Yamane and another staff member who looked like a young Hikaru Nakamura (I mean, a little like Hikaru Nakamura—just kidding!)—they were incredibly helpful and polite. The hotel also offers a direct shuttle to Kyoto Station, departing at 8:00 AM on weekends and holidays, and 9:00 AM on weekdays, with departures every hour at :10 and :40—only 25 minutes to the station, perfect for travelers. Daily housekeeping kept the room spotless, just as clean as when I first arrived, and they even included calming essential oils each day. Breakfast was outstanding—especially the homemade onigiri corner, where a cheerful lady made some of the most delicious rice balls I’ve ever had. It’s definitely worth waking up early for. Overall, this hotel delivers comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality—highly recommended!

Staying in the Kasui-En room was an absolute delight. Nestled deep within a serene forest, the hotel offers a peaceful retreat where you can truly disconnect and reconnect with nature. The staff went above and beyond—warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. I especially appreciated the nightly turndown service and the little treats left in the room each evening. The onsen was perfectly relaxing, and the breakfast at the restaurant, along with the complimentary snacks at the executive lounge, were both delicious and well-presented. One of my favorite moments was waking up early to hike the small hill behind the property—fresh air, birdsong, and a quiet morning vibe that instantly lifted my mood.

The Chapter Kyoto, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
The attention to detail at this hotel is truly impressive. The room was exceptionally quiet—perfect for a restful night's sleep with zero noise disturbance. They even offered two types of pillows: buckwheat and soft, which made it easy to find the perfect comfort level. What stood out most was how much they respect guest privacy. At the elevator area, they provided complimentary toiletries, pour-over coffee, and even calming essential oil capsules—just grab what you need each day and take it back to your room without any hassle or interruptions. The Refa hair straightener, curling iron, and hair dryer were all high-quality and worked perfectly—no need to pack my own, which saved space in my suitcase. I also appreciated the filtered showerhead, which made the water feel cleaner and more refreshing. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—just a 200-meter walk to the subway entrance, with cafes and convenience stores right downstairs. Everything you need is within reach. This place combines luxury, thoughtfulness, and convenience in a way that makes it hard to leave. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip to Kyoto.

Staying at Moxy Kyoto was an absolutely fantastic experience!

The room design is sleek and modern, with a standout feature being the spacious shower-only bathroom setup, which felt both practical and luxurious. Located just steps from JR Nijo Station, getting around was incredibly convenient—we took the subway to Shijo for dining and shopping, and the JR line made trips to Kyoto Station, Nara, and Arashiyama super easy. Plus, there’s a well-known yakiniku restaurant right around the corner, perfect for a delicious post-check-in meal.

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.
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.

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.
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.
