Park Hyatt Kyoto
Staying at Park Hyatt Kyoto was an absolute highlight—serene yet perfectly positioned in the heart of Kyoto. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calm and elegant, a true oasis amidst the city. The room was cozy and thoughtfully designed, with luxurious bedding that made it hard to leave. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, and I was so grateful for the multilingual team member who spoke fluent Chinese—she made check-in smooth and stress-free. Every detail felt just right: not too flashy, but full of quiet sophistication. Honestly, this place felt more comfortable than some other high-end hotels I’ve stayed at, and I already can’t wait to return. And the food? Don’t miss the on-site Western restaurant—while the Japanese dining experience is Michelin-worthy, their lobster pasta was a revelation. Rich, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. It’s one of those meals you’ll remember long after you’ve left.
Hyatt Regency Kyoto
Staying at Hyatt Regency Kyoto was an absolute highlight of our trip to Kyoto. The hotel is perfectly located just steps away from Sanjusangendo Temple and directly opposite the Kyoto National Museum—ideal for exploring the city’s cultural heart. While it’s a short walk from the nearest subway station, local buses run frequently and take you straight to Kyoto Station in minutes. If you're planning a day of sightseeing in the Higashiyama district, you can easily walk to Fushimi Inari Shrine, Gion, and even Kiyomizu-dera—all within a pleasant stroll. For those feeling energetic, Philosophy Path is also reachable on foot. Though the hotel has been around for a while and doesn’t have the latest smart room tech found in newer properties, everything feels well-maintained: the rooms are spotless, the beds comfortable, and the overall atmosphere calm and welcoming. Staff are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Breakfast was generous and included local favorites like miso soup, fresh rice, and seasonal fruits. We were truly impressed by how much value this hotel delivers. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a great base for discovering Kyoto. Highly recommended for travelers who appreciate charm, convenience, and authentic hospitality.
Hyatt Place Kyoto
Staying at Hyatt Place Kyoto was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The hotel’s location is incredibly convenient—right next to the subway station, so getting here without walking in the rain is a major plus. The entrance leads directly into a spacious, clean, and stylish lobby that feels both comfortable and upscale. What really stood out was the excellent value for money—everything from the room quality to the service is well above expectations for the price. Breakfast was delicious and varied, and just one floor down, the Old School Café is a real gem—great coffee and a cozy atmosphere worth checking out. I’d definitely stay again. One small note: while the hotel’s interior photos are limited, the exterior shot shows everything clearly—the café is on the right, the main hotel entrance is center, and the subway access is on the left. The underground passage connects directly to the hotel with covered walkways, so no need to worry about weather. However, there’s no elevator from that entrance, so you’ll need to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs. That said, it’s not too steep or long—easy enough even for someone with a single suitcase.
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.
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 Machiya Kazahaya
Staying at The Machiya Kazahaya was an absolute delight! This charming, standalone machiya-style house is a true gem—compact yet spacious, with six rooms across two floors. We were on the second floor, which included two private rooms, a fully equipped kitchen (stove, microwave, cookware), and a well-designed bathroom split into three zones: toilet, shower with a bathtub, and sink—all very practical. The entrance room had a long table with a TV and a cozy sofa area that could easily sleep multiple people, while the other room featured a large tatami mat with two sets of bedding—perfect for four guests. The sliding doors provided good privacy between spaces. The entire place was spotlessly clean and secure, with a simple password entry system. It’s just a 10–15 minute walk to four subway stations, making it super convenient for exploring Kyoto. Ideal for families or groups of friends looking for comfort, convenience, and authentic local charm without breaking the bank.
Rinn Premium Kunpu
Staying at Rinn Premium Kunpu was an absolute delight from start to finish. The property is part of a trusted chain, and the renovation truly shines—modern touches blend seamlessly with traditional Kyoto charm, echoing the serene aesthetic of the nearby Shōhō-ji Temple. The private onsen-style bath in the courtyard garden was a highlight, especially for my kids who loved soaking in the tranquil space. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and after a long day of exploring, a warm soak before bed was the perfect way to unwind. It’s just a 10-minute walk to Kyoto Station, and waking up to the gentle chimes of the temple bell outside the window added a peaceful, meditative start to each morning. I’ll definitely be returning to this gem on my next trip to Kyoto—authentic, calming, and effortlessly elegant.
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.
Rinn Kyoto Miyagawasuji hitotose Aki
Staying at this hotel was absolutely one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Kyoto. The location is perfect—just a short walk from major attractions like Gion and Fushimi Inari, and public transportation is super convenient. The building itself won a design award, and it shows in every detail—from the thoughtful layout to the elegant finishes. My room had a private bathroom, but what really stood out was the on-site Japanese-style bath with a soaking tub, plus an outdoor hot spring pool that felt magical under the night sky. The room also came stocked with drinks including beer, wine, and coffee, and even had a high-end fridge and a laundry machine—so much convenience! It’s rare to find such a peaceful yet well-equipped retreat in the heart of Kyoto. I’d come back in a heartbeat.
