The staff at Kyoto City Gardens Hotel were absolutely exceptional—so friendly and proactive. They even allowed me to check in early on the same day, which was a huge plus. The hotel is just a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. I loved how quiet and peaceful the place felt while still being close to everything. The location, service, and overall vibe made this stay unforgettable. Definitely my top pick for future visits to Kyoto.

I stayed here for an extended period, and I truly appreciated the peaceful, quiet atmosphere.

If you're expecting a typical business hotel, this place will surprise you—it feels more like staying at a cozy countryside relative’s home, warm and welcoming. The only small suggestion: adding a few cushions or soft seating options in the living area would enhance comfort, especially during summer when there's no kotatsu. Sitting directly on the floor might be uncomfortable for guests not used to it. Overall, the experience was excellent—quiet, authentic, and great value for money. Perfect for travelers seeking a relaxing retreat away from the city buzz.

That said, the stairs are quite steep, so extra caution is needed if you're traveling with very young children. Location-wise, it’s well-connected—just a short walk to the nearest subway station and bus stops. It’s about a 20-minute stroll to Kiyomizu-dera, which is pleasant and allows you to enjoy some of Kyoto’s scenic streets along the way.

The hotel is a bit of a walk from the nearest subway station—about 20 minutes with luggage, which was tough, especially late at night.

I have to be honest—this place isn’t ideal if you’re a light sleeper. The hotel backs directly onto the railway line, and trains still pass by late at night, even after midnight. That said, the location is absolutely unbeatable. You’re just a short walk from Fushimi Inari Shrine, making it super convenient for early morning visits or exploring the famous torii gates. Public transportation is also very accessible, with easy access to Kyoto’s main areas.

The unit was clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed. The location, comfort, and affordability make this a top choice for any traveler planning to explore the city.
