"This hotel is in a great location just down the street from Jujo Station. It was very clean and quiet and the staff were very helpful whenever I needed them. It's a great place to stay especially if you are going to visit Fushimi Inari, since the hotel is only about a 15 minute walk from the main gate, so you can leave in the middle of the night or early morning to beat the crowds without having to take any buses or trains. It's located right by a river which is also nice for night walks,...

HOTEL ELCIENT KYOTO HACHIJOGUCHI

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were super friendly, helpful and spoke great English, they helped me check in and manage the parking situation seamlessly. The material quality, cleanliness and comfort of the hotel was top-notch. Although I didn't use the public onsen-style bath, I like that they provided clear and visible explanations on the signage and QR code / Wi-Fi about the correct protocols for using it. I would have used it if I had time. The buffet breakfast looked fabulous but was above my budget so I didn't use it, but that's fine. One feedback I would have is about microwaves - As a westerner, a microwave is a staple amenity that I need almost every time I stay at a hotel. This hotel only offered two which is few given the capacity of the hotel, and they were both in the west wing so I had to walk to-and-from the west wing 4th floor (from east wing 6th floor) with my food. also, the microwave was small, old and dirty. This is my only constructive criticism, everything else about the hotel was excellent and I would certainly stay there again."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The restaurant & bar were perfect when you didn’t want to go out and explore the city"

Rihga Gran Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The location was also a major plus; very convenient and close to Kyoto Station, making it easy to get around and explore Kyoto. Overall, a great hotel with excellent service, a convenient location, and clean, comfortable rooms. I would definitely stay here again!"

Stay SAKURA Kyoto Fuga

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room for the price, everything was perfect."

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi

8/10 Good

"We loved the location of this hotel. Just south of Kyoto Station, which let us explore the region at ease. There were tons of restaurants nearby (close to the hotel, and near the Station). The room was actually quite spacious! (Especially compared the the hotel we had in Tokyo.) The two twin beds, while individually quite small, could be pushed together and make enough room for a family of 4 (two adults, two children under age 7). Amenities were nice (available in the lobby, some available for rent for free). As well, staff were all kind and helpful, particularly the breakfast staff. We were pleased with this hotel! Only a couple of cons. We paid to have breakfast included and while we really liked it the first day, after a 6 night stay it started to get old as none of the food was changed, but we have come to expect this after our trip to Japan. Consider trying the breakfast for a few days but don't depend on it for a long trip. The staff at breakfast was wonderful, however! My biggest complaint is the room did not offer a nice view (facing south, lower floor) but the opposite side seemed to have a glimpse of a nice view featuring buildings, temples an greenery/mountains in the background. We should have asked for a better view but were staying with friends in a nearby room. And finally, the hotel did have more of a corporate/business feel and we would probably want to stay somewhere with more personality and more 'traditional' if staying in Kyoto in the future."

RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Nice breakfast with a revolving view plus can’t beat the shuttle service from the station"

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend this hotel. The location is ideal, since it’s across the street from Kyoto Station. The breakfast is incredible with various options, including continental and traditional Japanese foods. The location also has a public onsen bath, making it the perfect Kyoto experience."

Randor Residential Hotel Kyoto Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Our travel plans changed suddenly and were in a need of a last minute stay. Great location at a great price."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Large hotel. Everything okay. Only issue is during check in, front desk was not busy with 3 to 4 staff standing by doing nothing but will not check us in. Asked to use self service. Self serve did not work. Ended back at front desk and finally got checked in. Not very courteous and quite frankly rude not willing to help us first time. Most hotel check you in willingly with a smile."
