Okura Hotels & Resorts Northern Kyoto hotels

"Nice hotel in a great location, a short 5 minute walk from Nishiki Market and Gion. Room was clean and reasonably spacious with nice decor. Biggest complaint was the pillows were so uncomfortable we couldn’t sleep. We were provided softer pillows upon asking, however these were only a marginal improvement."

"Excellent location "

"Clean room"

"This hotel is amazing. Great location, good breakfast, very clean, and most of all, great location. Rooms are a bit small, but this is normal for Japan. Price-quality: on point!"

"Great area, clean room, and very helpful staff"

"Nice hotel but drinks and restaurants are a bit overpriced…but food is good "

"This place is absolutely incredible! First of all it’s beautiful, calm, and relaxing. It’s in a great location and an easy walk to cute shops and restaurants and marketplaces. The bus system is very fast, convenient and the trains and the train stations are much easier to understand than Shinjuku! You can definitely use this as a nice base to go deeper into Kyoto, where all the Matcha shops are and over to the Fushimi Inari Temple. The floor beneath the lobby has a beautiful spa- like bath and the hot water was amazing after walking 25,000 steps a day! The rooms are much bigger than others we found in Tokyo and the beds are super comfy. We definitely recommend this place and would definitely stay here again."

"The staff was amazing so nice and helpful "

"I stayed 5 nights at Loisir Hotel Classic Garden in May 2026 and had a very disappointing experience. The laundry machines were unreliable: after 2 hours in the dryer, my clothes were still damp, forcing me to hang them in my small room for two nights. Some clothes were also damaged and stretched out. At checkout, staff offered no meaningful compensation beyond refunding the coins used for the machines. Because of the unreliable laundry facilities and unhelpful response from staff, I would strongly recommend choosing another hotel."
