THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel
I always choose this hotel whenever I visit Kyoto—this was my second stay in autumn and another in summer, and every time I’m reminded why it’s my top pick. The location is peaceful and serene, perfectly nestled near the city’s cultural heart. Right now, with the maple leaves at their peak, the view from my room was absolutely breathtaking. I’m so grateful the hotel arranged a room with such a stunning vista—pure magic! Plus, the complimentary shuttle service to Kyoto Station makes getting around effortless. It’s convenient, charming, and offers incredible value. I’ll definitely be back—this is hands down my favorite place to stay in Kyoto.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Ryokan Yoshida-Sanso
Staying at Ryokan Yoshida-Sanso was an absolute delight from start to finish. The moment I stepped into the traditional Japanese room, I could feel the warmth of history—this place truly feels like a living piece of the Shōwa era, carefully preserved and lovingly maintained. The quiet atmosphere made it perfect for relaxing, and the view from the window was simply breathtaking, offering a peaceful escape right in the heart of Kyoto. What stood out most was how seamlessly modern comforts were blended with old-world charm—everything from the air conditioning to the bathroom fixtures felt up-to-date without compromising the authentic vibe. The kaiseki-style meals were exceptional: beautifully presented, delicious, and each dish came with thoughtfully chosen tableware that added to the experience. And don’t miss the on-site café, Shinkokkan—it’s cozy, stylish, and perfect for a quiet afternoon coffee. This isn’t just a stay; it’s a memory-in-the-making. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a serene, culturally rich, and comfortable retreat in Kyoto.
KABIN Kyoto
Staying at KABIN Kyoto was a real highlight of my trip to Kyoto. The hotel is stylish, quiet, and perfectly located right in the heart of the city—yet tucked away on a peaceful little street. The room was surprisingly spacious for Japan, with plenty of outlets for charging devices. What stood out most was their unique cleaning system: rooms are cleaned every three days, but you can simply hang a magnet on the door if you need trash removed during the day. Fresh towels are available on every floor at any time—super convenient. Staff were attentive and friendly throughout. The only downside? Laundry machines are limited—just two per floor—and sometimes they’re out of service or occupied because guests don’t collect their clothes promptly. It can be tricky to find an open machine. Also, windows don’t open, which made the room feel a bit stuffy at times, but the air conditioning and fan mode helped keep things comfortable. Overall, it’s a smart, well-designed stay with great value.
