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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering helpful tips about nearby attractions and local transportation. Even though the parking area is a bit of a walk from the hotel, it didn’t take away from the overall great experience. The location is perfect for exploring Kyoto—just a short trip to Gion and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Clean rooms, excellent value, and a warm atmosphere make this a standout stay. Definitely planning to return.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Staying at this hostel was a fantastic experience—clean, well-maintained, and perfect for business travelers. The amenities are self-service style, where you pick what you need right at the front desk. It’s efficient and convenient. Upon entering the room, I was pleasantly surprised to find two free 500ml bottled waters. There's also a kettle and hairdryer provided—basic but essential, and very thoughtful. (Note: This might vary slightly depending on room type.) What really stood out was the staff—friendly, professional, and always smiling, whether it was at check-in or during breakfast service. Their warm hospitality made the whole stay feel welcoming. Great location, excellent value, and a great place to return to on future trips.
