Hotels With Breakfast in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is really close to the train station. After exiting the station, you just take the escalator up to the second floor, walk across the massive station, then come back down to the ground level, cross one road, and you're there. The bus station is also right by Kyoto Station, so it's quite convenient for getting around. The room itself was pretty spacious; I could fully open my 26-inch suitcase without an issue. Most of the usual disposable toiletries were provided, though you had to ask the front desk daily for toothpaste, otherwise, they wouldn't replenish it. I'm not sure if we just weren't aware, but our room wasn't cleaned once during our three-night stay, though thankfully we didn't have much trash to dispose of. Overall, I was satisfied with the stay, and the self check-in via machine was super convenient.

This is my favorite hotel thus far across the 5 hotels I've stayed in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. It gives you the ”zen” feeling and services are great. We booked the room without breakfast, but the grab and go (bread, waffles, milk, tea, coffee,etc.) they provided are already sufficient for a quick breakfast before travelling around. I personally also like the smell of the shampoo and conditioner they gave (light tea smell).

Facilities: Well-equipped, spacious room with a cozy wooden design. Hygiene: Very clean, and the bathroom is large. Environment: Very close to the subway station, and the surrounding area is quiet. Service: Very welcoming, and they even gave us a small gift.

This hotel far exceeded my expectations. That day, I traveled all the way from Wakkanai after visiting Cape Soya, then flew from Chitose Airport to Osaka, and finally arrived in Kyoto. I was incredibly exhausted, both mentally and physically. Beyond the usual tea bags and shower gel found in Japanese hotels, this place offered premium amenities like bath salts. But the best part was that this hotel has a 'power on' system for the room key! This meant I could leave the room with my card, and the electricity wouldn't shut off! You could also tell the local environment was pretty good; the birds on the street weren't afraid of people at all. They'd walk right next to the sidewalk, and wouldn't fly away even when people passed by.

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Station: During autumn, they have a display in the lobby showing the fall foliage status of several temples, along with the day's weather. The rooms are decent, and it's not too far from Kyoto Station, but there's no public bath. You can pick up complimentary toiletries by the elevators. Staff greetings are a hit or miss. The biggest downside is breakfast; it's quite poor compared to other Mitsui hotels, with limited choices and average taste.

This is my second time staying at this hotel, and I still really like it. Transportation: The bus stop is Shijo Nishinotoin, and the subway station is Shijo. However, please note that in the past, you could take bus route 50 directly from Kyoto Station to the hotel entrance. But when I went this year, I found that luggage is no longer allowed on the bus. So, when checking in or out, you'll need to take the subway to and from Kyoto Station. Especially if you're returning to Kyoto Station to buy a HARUKA ticket for Kansai Airport, you'll need to allow more time for navigating and purchasing tickets. The location is a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of Shijo Kawaramachi, but the surrounding amenities are very complete. There are two supermarkets nearby, a Family Mart convenience store, and many restaurants. The housekeeping staff are Japanese, and they are very thorough and meticulous. Thumbs up! Kyoto in February isn't cold. Two or three layers are enough during the day (thermal underwear, sweater, jacket). You might even feel warm at noon or after walking for a while. In the evening, just add a scarf, and you'll be fine. If you have hair, you don't even need a hat; your head won't get cold.

A very standard Fresa Inn. If you're a member, you can check in at 2 PM and check out at 12 PM. The room is more than enough for one person, and all the amenities are provided. The staff's English is quite good, and they even have a handheld translation device. Exiting the hotel, turn right, and you'll find Exit 4 of Shijo Subway Station, with a very convenient elevator entrance. Turn left, and you're at Daimaru Department Store. To go to Osaka, you can take the Hankyu Railway directly, no need to go to Kyoto Station first. Fresa Inn is my favorite business hotel brand in Japan, highly recommended!

The room isn't small and the location is excellent, making it really convenient for getting around and dining. We stayed for two nights and opted out of housekeeping, but the hotel thoughtfully hung fresh towels on our door, which was a very nice touch.

Extremely satisfied, this hotel offers great value for money. For someone with a bit of a潔癖 (germophobia), the overall environment was clean and tidy. The room wasn't small (the double bed allowed access from both sides), there was a bathtub (though I didn't have time to use it), and the bathroom design was well-thought-out (separate wet and dry areas, convenient for two people to use simultaneously). Public facilities included a water dispenser, coin-operated washing machine, and a public bath 👍. The hotel lobby has a convenience store, and it's right next to a JR station (convenient for visiting Arashiyama and just one stop from Kyoto Station). There are also bus stops nearby, which was incredibly convenient; I took the bus back to the hotel from Shijo every day. Highly recommend it; I'd probably choose this place again on my next trip to Kyoto.

This hotel is in a great location nearly next to Nishiki Market. Around the hotel is very quiet. The room we received was facing the graveyard, I’m not sure why there are so many negatives reviews about it but we had no problems with it. No ****** visited us😋😅 The bed was very spacious but a little hard. The pillows were also quite hard so we woke up sore a few times… overall the room was very clean and amenities were available downstairs if needed like toothbrush or qtips. The staff were very kind and brought our luggage to our room before we arrived through luggage forwarding. After check out, they also allowed us to store it in the back for a few hours.
