Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto
Every single aspect of this stay was exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome and attention to detail set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Kyoto’s main attractions and conveniently close to public transit. Our room was spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with a plush bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, professional, and always ready to help with recommendations or arrangements. Breakfast was a highlight: fresh, diverse, and delicious, blending local flavors with international touches. What truly stood out was how luxurious yet affordable it felt—no need to break the bank for such a high-end stay. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a destination in itself. I’ll definitely be back.
Kyoto Brighton Hotel
Absolutely fantastic! The room was huge and incredibly comfortable, with top-quality bedding that made for a restful night's sleep. I especially appreciated the built-in power outlets—no need to fumble for adapters, just plug in and go. The bathroom shower had excellent water pressure, and soaking in the tub was pure relaxation. Staff were genuinely warm and attentive—every interaction, from the shuttle driver to the front desk manager, felt sincere and welcoming. No coldness or preferential treatment at all. The only minor downside is the location: it’s not right next to a subway station or bus stop, so we relied on the hotel shuttle or walked about 10 minutes to reach transit. But honestly, the quiet neighborhood more than makes up for it—super peaceful and perfect for a good night’s sleep. If I ever come back to Kyoto, this will be my first choice again.

The staff were incredibly thoughtful—front desk staff gave me a warm welcome, offered helpful tips, even helped take photos. They also surprised me with a welcome cocktail, which was such a sweet touch. The room is compact, but cleverly designed with a tatami seating area perfect for relaxing or sharing a drink. It’s cozy without feeling cramped. Honestly, this place exceeded my expectations in every way. Great value, great vibe, and an authentic Kyoto experience. Definitely coming back.

Staying at Ishibekoji Ryugin was an absolutely outstanding experience. Located just steps away from Yasaka Shrine, it's incredibly convenient for visiting Gion, the Nijo Castle area, and other nearby attractions—everything is within walking distance or a short subway ride. We booked the entire private cottage with my best friend, so we had complete privacy and comfort. The host went above and beyond: they waited until 8:30 PM for our check-in without any hesitation. On our last day, they left a sweet note letting us know we could still use the bathroom in our room even after check-out—though we’d already vacated the space.

Staying at Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo was a fantastic experience. The hotel is incredibly close to Kyoto Station, making it super convenient for exploring the city—just a short walk to major attractions and train lines. The only minor downside is that trains pass by frequently, so there’s some noise; I recommend bringing earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. The room itself is spacious with a long sofa, and I had plenty of room to unpack two large suitcases. Check-in and check-out are both self-service, which is perfect for introverts or travelers arriving late at night. During checkout, staff kindly guided me through downloading the official app and even gifted me a thermos—a lovely surprise! The attention to detail and overall value make this hotel stand out.
