Hotels with balcony in Kyoto

"1. Excellent Location, Convenient Transportation and Sightseeing: The hotel is located in the heart of Kyoto's Shijo shopping district, adjacent to the Kamo River and within walking distance of the Shijo Bridge. It's only a 3-minute walk from Sanjo-Keihan Station on the Keihan Railway, making travel extremely convenient. Quiet yet conveniently located, with plenty of convenience stores and supermarkets nearby. Nishiki Market, Gion, and Pontocho shopping districts are all within walking distance. The quiet environment at night makes independent travel and shopping worry-free. 2. Highly Practical Public Areas: The hotel features a public restaurant area on the first floor where guests can eat and relax. This is quite rare. 3. Friendly to Chinese Tourists, Excellent Value for Money: Chinese-speaking staff provide excellent communication. The location is highly competitive for its price range, offering excellent overall value. There were almost no other guests when I checked in; I wish the hotel great success. 4. Minor Drawbacks: The rooms are relatively small (a common feature of Japanese hotels); the bathroom facilities are basic, with a non-smart toilet, which is understandable given the price range. 5. There was a little surprise in my room: a painting on the wall by a Chinese artist. That was a big plus; I wonder how the owner found it. I might be one of the first guests. Wishing the hotel great success!"

"It was a nice hotel to stay and we had a lovely balcony room which we cherished. The room has no daily room services so the room cleanliness is up to you. They have the required tools to keep it clean but after back to back days of 14/15 hours outside trying to make the most of your days in Japan you will most likely not think about cleaning your hotel room! Staff are friendly and try their best to help. They said there was no iron but then the next day I saw an iron set with the staff on the reception so not sure if there was a miscommunication with my request preciously, which was annoying but not the end of the world. They do have free to use washing machines for your laundry just make sure you fully understand the instructions on the machine before using as I managed to make a normal wash into 9 hours of wash and dry and worrying about my clothes 😂😂 Oops! If you are a first time tourist to Kyoto the location will make it very difficult for you to make the most of your day as you will be rushing back to make the last bus as the train lines are not amazing in this location. But if your looking for more chilled out peaceful local life there are lots of great local restaurants to attend and I would highly recommend take a look at 2254 hotel & lounge for a very aesthetically pleasing coffee and relax cafe work vibe. There are no bar or drink services in Dash Living Gojo but you have very close by a 7/11 and Lawsons. Overall enjoyed the room and the atmosphere of the location but it’s probably not ideal if you are planning a very intense tourist heavy itinerary for Kyoto."

"Had a wonderful stay at this brand-new hotel! The location is excellent, right next to Nishiki Market, making it very convenient to explore Kyoto. The room was surprisingly spacious, It was also very comfortable, well equipped, and thoughtfully designed. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive, and the service was excellent throughout our stay. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again.

"This place seems to have opened in June 2026. It's a 15-minute walk to Kawaramachi, 10 minutes to the nearest subway station, and a 15-minute bus ride to Kyoto Station. The hotel is less than a 5-minute walk from a bus stop, and there's a Seven-Eleven nearby (3 minutes away). The location is convenient for getting anywhere, whether it's the airport or the city center. The only downside is that the buses to the city (Shijo, Gojo) often get stuck in traffic, so I ended up walking everywhere. Haha, sigh. (Though it's not the hotel's fault). Since it's new, the facilities are, of course, excellent. Most importantly, I loved not having to worry about bugs! The room size is typical for a Japanese hotel; it might be a bit tight for two people to open two 28-inch suitcases. Since I was alone, it was perfectly fine for me! It's about two blocks removed from the main downtown area, so it was incredibly quiet, except for one ambulance I heard passing by. Especially, there was no room noise. I have no idea who checked into the room next door; I didn't see any other guests during my entire trip (...). The room has pretty much everything you need. For a table, they said I could use the one in the hallway, so I brought it in, but it's a bit heavy. The chair was difficult to assemble, so make sure it's properly fixed before you sit on it. The amenities are truly amazing! They were the best I've ever used. The toothbrush and comb are fantastic; the toothbrush is so soft! Full cleaning is provided every other day (eco-cleaning). Since I was alone, I didn't find it inconvenient at all. Check-in is at 3 PM, but early check-in was possible if the room was ready. I was only planning to drop off my luggage, but they said the room was available at 12 PM, so I was pleasantly surprised and checked in. The front desk staff seemed to be better at English (but I'm not good at English, so I made requests in Japanese). The bakery near the hotel is delicious. They don't offer breakfast, but they provide cup noodles at night and some bread in the morning. However, I never tried the bread because I always went out for brunch in the morning. It would be great if they could fix the elevator always stopping at the lobby floor. It was awkward making eye contact with the reception staff every time."
