THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, with awesome amenities and clean and modern look ! The hotel is very close to all the site seeing activities and very close to train station"

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in a very good location, just across from Kyoto Station, which has many restaurants and shops. It's also next to a shopping mall and only about a 5-minute walk to Aeon Mall. The hotel was very clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The lobby and reception area looked fancy and even had a tea room. When we arrived early, they stored our luggage for free, so we could explore the city before checking in. Breakfast was excellent, with lots of choices including Western and traditional options, and they also had several options for different dietary needs. There is a laundry facility, massage chairs, and a hot spring bath (onsen) available. Basic toiletries like toothbrushes, shaving supplies, and lotions can be found at the reception that you just pick up. Our room was clean and quiet. The AC worked perfectly. It was a standard size room for Japan, with three single beds. The only minor downside is that the toilet, which is in a separate room, isn't perfectly designed—if you have long legs, your knees might touch the wall. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"If I could give them 10 stars I would. Staff were very accommodating, helpful and friendly. There is an excellent bakery on the first floor as well as the restaurant. I managed to snag some fried fish tacos and they were delicious (and I’m from Texas). The cocktails served on the 6th floor patio were amazing. There’s a great vibe there."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji

8/10 Good

"Good hotel, well placed if you are looking to be very close to the touristy area. Very close to a train station, tons of services around as well. Bed is comfy, with a firm mattress. Bathroom shower is great, and having access to a public bath is a huge plus. Only caveat is that the hotel is mostly packed with tourists, which brings its own set of issues in the public bath (haven't seen anything outrageous, but definitely a few "no no" in bath etiquettes). Room has thick carpet, which was a bit of an issue for me due to allergies (they do vacuum regularly). Convenience store not even a 30 seconds walk away. For me, it's too close to the super touristy area, so I might think twice next time I book in Kyoto. It may sound picky, but to each their own in terms of what you look for in terms of experience. For the price and everything I listed above, hard to beat. They do not have a laundry facility, but there are two close by. Staff were super helpful, polite, etc"
