MACHIYA de SAUNA

Minami Ward

10/10 Excellent

The selling point of this property is the sauna and outdoor baths. We didn’t end up using the sauna (it was 90 degrees outside) so we simply enjoyed the two baths. It was nice to do a load of laundry in the middle of our trip and while we only made tea, the kitchen was convenient and useful for folks staying longer. It’s a short walk to the station and close to many things. The house is very charming and would be perfect for a family.

HANARE KYOTO Hachijoguchi

Minami Ward

10/10 Excellent

Hanare Kyoto worked perfectly for my family of 4. The location was ideal - 5 min walk to the Kyoto train station, but set back on a quiet street and very private. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable. We took advantage of the nice kitchen and ate breakfast at home every day. The in-unit washer/dryer was wonderful to have. Both bedrooms are upstairs, while the bathrooms are downstairs. The stairs are pretty steep - they weren’t a problem for us, but something to keep in mind if you’re...

Hotel Imagine Kyoto

Minami Ward

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Imagine is so unique, exhibiting the owner's passion for detail. The room fit our family of four very comfortably and we loved the shower/ofuro which I enjoyed every night after a long day of walking and sightseeing! While there was no breakfast included, there is a full-service kitchen with great amenities. We made our breakfeast every morning and the coffee machine was wonderful! There was also a very nice upstairs deck which we were not able to enjoy since we were out sightseeing...

10/10 Excellent

Omg love this hotel so much! Staying here felt like stepping into an old Japanese house. Instead of a typical sofa and coffee table, the living area had a low table surrounded by plush floor cushions, creating a cozy space to relax, enjoy tea, or share a meal. As for the 1 bedroom and bathroom areas were cute and modern. The perfect place for a group of 4. Rooms are pretty spacious and comfortable and clean. Staff is friendly and they offer luggage transfers to your next hotel destination....

DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Station

Minami Ward

10/10 Excellent

We wanted to stay near Kyoto station for easy travel and the Doubletree by Hilton did not disappoint. It’s less than 5 minutes walk from the train station. The sleekness of the hotel is very modern. Our room was clean, the bed was super comfortable- soft to medium firmness, and we liked the separation of the toilet, shower/bath-tub, and vanity. There was construction next to the hotel, but it wasn’t noisy. The breakfast was my favorite; it was buffet style and they offered a variety of choices...
