Northern Kyoto, Kyoto hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great hotel. Coffee and tea set up in the room is amazing! Comfy bed and pillows. For some maybe little bit on the firmer side for the mattress but for me it was perfect. Very convenient location, 10 minutes from all to so many amazing places. Pretty spacious bathroom. The only thing as per most Japanese hotels, if you have large suitcases it will be very tight to put it to open. But since we only had car try in it was perfect. Definitely will come back"

"Walking into the huge reception area was beautiful. Breakfast was very good and drinks at the bar in the evening were nice. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was a very good size. We all had a large comfortable bed. Nice shower."

"Nothing to be worried about if you arrive at the property earlier than a check-in time (5:00pm). There is a storage room for your luggage and you can create your own combination locks. At check-in, Front Desk staff will help you to self check-in using your passport(s) and making your own room key(s). Hotel has free WIFI. We stayed in a room with 4 beds and it was very spacious and clean. 4 beds, 2 sinks, 2 hair dryers, a separate toilet area, bath tub, shower, big closet space, plenty of hangers, mini fridge with complimentary bottles of mineral water, plenty of USB outlets and plugs, a TV with streaming options, and a monitor screen. Room service is every 2 days. The location is walkable to many good restaurants, shopping areas, and sites. Taxi are easy to be located outside the hotel. At check-out you can self check out from the TV in your room and just drop the keys off at the front desk. We would recommend this hotel and would return to stay here again if we visit Kyoto in the future."

"Everyone was nice and was nearby two stations. "

"My 2nd stay during 2025. Perfect location in Kyoto. Big rooms. Great dining room experience. "
