The Millennials Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were outstanding could not have been nicer or more helpful. They went out of their way to help me. The room was really cosy and comfortable. The amenities were outstanding. Happy hour with free beer was a very welcome treat. Common areas were very welcoming and cosy with lots of designated areas for people wanting to work, chat or just chill. It was the best of all the hotels I stayed in during my Japan trip."

8/10 Good
"This hotel was mainly for the location, and the location is awesome for shopping. The room and hotel itself were okay. The rooms are a little outdated, and the beds had a few minor stains on the blankets, nothing that was terrible (all of our group had some kind of stain on the blankets in every room) but definitely made an impact on our visit to the hotel. The premium lounge is awesome, but located directly next to a smoking area, and was often just filled with smoke, which made it so we never went. Again the location is 100% worth it, and if you just want to use it as we did as a place to sleep while shopping in Kyoto, then its awesome."

"A Peaceful, Elegant Haven in Kyoto Our stay at Dhawa Yura Kyoto (Oct 8–10) exceeded all expectations. The subtle, welcoming fragrance as you walk in sets the tone for a sparkling clean and serene experience. The service was flawless—the staff were exceptionally warm, efficient, and eager to help with anything we needed. We loved the aesthetic of our room, which felt authentically traditional while seamlessly integrating top-tier modern amenities. Plus, the location is unbeatable—a short walk to key transit hubs, great shopping, and delicious dining options. We can't wait to return!"
