The hotel was beautiful. Very clean. The amenities were excellent. Staff were amazing.
The location of the hotel was fantastic, walking distance to shopping, cafes, bars and restaurants.
Highly recommend Sora Niwa Terrace.
Amazing hotel with so many perks. We felt pampered from the moment we arrived. If you can afford the Bettei section of the hotel, I highly recommend it.
The pictures do not do this place justice! The hotel is just a few years old and the rooms are fantastic! The staff is super helpful and it’s just the kind of place you wanna hang out after fighting the crowds of tourists in Kyoto!
This place was an absolute dream. Everything about it was wonderful. From the staff checking us in, to housekeeping, to location, to checking out. Truly a five star experience.
Top class all the way! Amazing rooftop bar w. stellar view. If you can afford, book this hotel.
5 min walk to Ponchoto/Nishki.
Good Nature hotel across the street with deluctable healthy food. Fantastic eateries nearby. Top everything!
The private bath/ onsen in our room on the balcony set this property above many others. The area is great and is central to many of the Kyoto sights. We loved our stay and will definitely stay again next time we visit Kyoto.
Beautiful hotel. Fantastic location and view across the river to Gion. Very easy access to metro. Large room, very clean, very helpful staff. The rooftop bar had a great view of the city. Lots of great restaurants and shops within a few minute walk. Will return next time I’m in Kyoto
Hotel location is fantastic. Excellent service and condition of the room. Love the private onsen in the room. Staffs are very friendly. However, breakfast taste still have room to improve.
From checking in to checking out, our stay in Sora Niwa Bettei is perfect in all aspects (room condition, location, breakfast, and most of all, the impeccable service of all of the hotel staff). This hotel is the epitome of Japanese hospitality.
I don’t get to stay in super nice hotels often due to budget constraints. With that being said: This was the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I’d gladly do it again, the private onsen was more than worth it. The staff were incredibly kind and the location was super close to the nearby river and some train stations. I would love to come back and stay longer next time.
Absolutely worth every penny! The private onsen and the public foot bath exceeded all my expectations. Makoda (I hope I got her name right—if not, my apologies) treated my wife and me like royalty. The customer service was truly exceptional.
Property is very nice and all staff, literally all, are helpful and attentive. They have a very good concierge. The only drawbacks are evening visits to the roof deck require a drink purchase or you can’t hang out there and we were unable to bring our friends onto the property. We wanted to visit with our friends from Kyoto without having to go to a busy restaurant or bar. Otherwise, this is a great property. In room Onsen is great. I recommend the Corner King room
Have told the reception can add a do not disturb light to prevent the worker keep asking us to respond during hot spring.
Everything is wonderful especially the view.
