The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto
4.7/546 Reviews

The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto

Kyoto|0.4km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
This Ritz-Carlton location sitting on Kamogawa and Hagashiyama mountains, is one of the best locations to stay in Kyoto. The architecture is gorgeous on every level as you enter the hotel. You feel transported to a particular place that you will never forget. In addition, the quality of service the Ladies and Gentlemen provides goes above and beyond any other Ritz-Carlton location. Staying at the Kamogawa Executive Suite was an unforgettable experience. Approximately 1350 sq. ft., the suite provides luxury accommodations that exceed the highest expectations of any guest. The bathroom is gorgeous, especially the bathtub, where the wall and bathtub are decorated with sakura flowers. The bed is comfortable, and the living room is quite spacious. One thing I would have loved to see inside this room is a Genkan to place shoes as you enter the suite. Preserving the floor and rug is necessary and educates foreign guests about the importance of doing this. Another aspect that I loved about this place was Mizuki. Every morning I visited it for a Japanese-style breakfast, and it was a fantastic experience. In addition, I went to one of their sushi demonstrations and felt that I had a lifetime supply of sushi. Every bite was delicious, and the chef went above and beyond to make every guest feel special. Please make reservations for kaiseki, tempura, teppanyaki, and of course, sushi during your stay in advance. The spa is also a must if you are staying in this location. It is one of my most relaxing experiences, and the facilities are excellent. As you enter the spa, all the details regarding the walk to the counter or attendant, the changing room, and the pool area are planned quite well, so the guest can feel extra special and disconnected from reality. Finally, I must recognize the Ladies and Gentlemen's hard work and dedication at the Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto. Thank Ana and Naoto, for your friendly welcome to the hotel and making things possible during my stay. Chef Tomohiro Goda and his team provided an experience I will never forget at Mizuki. Naoki was friendly and helpful as I researched information. Pablo and Thain were attentive to my needs as I left the hotel and provided a great experience as I checked out. Special thanks to Carlos for leading such a fantastic Ritz-Carlton property in Japan and consideration prior to my stay. This is one of the top Ritz-Carlton properties I have stayed in, out of 25 Ritz-Carlton. I will cherish all the memories that I gained from this place and will make sure to come back in the future.
Hotel Okura Kyoto

Hotel Okura Kyoto

Kyoto|0.52km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
The transportation is convenient. Exit 3 of Kyoto Shiyakusho Station on the Tozai Subway Line leads directly to the downstairs of the hotel. Although the facilities are not smart enough, they are well maintained and easy to use. The service is particularly good. The Japanese breakfast set menu is exquisite and delicious, and the buffet breakfast has both Japanese and Western styles, as well as Chinese steamed dumplings and siomai. It is very close to Kamogawa. There are many delicious restaurants in nearby Kiyamachi (mainly Western) and Pontocho (mainly Japanese). The restaurant is relatively late. The three nearby commercial streets are also very lively, and most shops close early. The view from the room is great, as is the view from the breakfast restaurant.

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto

Kyoto|0.81km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
Service: Excellent service from hotel staff, spoke English, accommodating, helpful and cheerful. Location : Quiet area, right next to a train station exit, convenient location. It is close to Kyoto Station by taxi ( approx 5-10 mins), located at an intersection and was easy to grab a taxi. It is not located that close to the main Kyoto shopping street, but it's just a peaceful 5-10 minutes walk away from the main stretch of shopping and food areas. Great to explore the quiet side of Kyoto. Lawson mart just opposite, the quiet lane opposite had lots of quaint cafes and bakeries. What a wonderful find just walking through the little lanes opposite. Away from tourists crowds, immersed in local Kyoto city vibes. Room style and space: Room furnishing decor colours were so soothing, stylish pale sage greens, light cream and oak, modern and pleasant , light cream tones. Fantastic huge single beds and pillows, fluffy and clean pillows, huge sofa, strong showers from rain shower in bathroom. Loved every corner in my corner room. Spacious work desk at the corner, perfect for a working business trip. The balcony flanked the entire room length.. absolutely wonderful.. sat outside on the balcony and people watched. Bathroom amenities and products included face and body moisturizers, combs etc, all wrapped in classic stylish Japanese style. Perks: We received daily vouchers which we could use for lounge cocktail hour (free flow great selections of wines, beers, sake, hot drinks etc drinks and snacks) or for high tea set in the lounge area. The lounge area was so cozy. Wonderful vibes. High tea set was amazing, provided by famous patissierie that's located in the hotel lobby. Wonderful chill experience just before we head out for daily dinners. Facilities: We checked out the mist room and onsen.. so clean and stylish. Felt like we were at a W hotel. Overall super fantastic experience, wonderful ambience, rooms were new, stylish and cleanliness was top notch. Property itself is very new and modern. Perfect for solo or couples. Very quiet (some traffic noise, but not a big deal), peaceful neighborhood, chic furnishings. I loved my stay in Nov so much, I will stay again in future. Downside: The rooms face a few offices opposite, windows are not coated with opaque film.. so just be aware and not walk around underdressed in the room in full view of opposite buildings. Windows are definitely see through! Nothing the day curtains can't fix.
Sumiya Ryokan

Sumiya Ryokan

Kyoto|0.91km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
The room was very very nice! Don’t mention the 13 square meters shown on the introduction, it should be at least 50 square meters. There are guest rooms, rooms, and bathrooms are separated. The toilet is on the other side. All are covered with bamboo mats. It is very comfortable and clean, and the white socks are not stained with dust. When we arrived, the bath water had already been placed in the pine wooden tub, and everything should be put in a place where we could easily get it. There is a faint woody fragrance in the whole room, which is so healing. The service is very thoughtful and meticulous, even if you don't understand the language, you can also dance and communicate. The most memorable thing is that his food is so delicious, it is the most worthwhile hotel in Kyoto. The proprietress is very kind, and will definitely stay here again

Dhawa Yura Kyoto - Banyan Group

Higashiyama Kyoto|1km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
Generally would like to rate 98/100 to this hotel! 👍🏻Location: Just right beside the subway station! Very convenient to travelers who are not familiar with Kyoto, especially after a tiring trip I just want to get to hotel as soon as possible without any hassles if possible. And the plus point is even this hotel is facing street but it’s quiet and no noise, besides that, along the street go straight down, got a lot of food and shops on shijo high street! 👍🏻Service: Service staff are friendly and professional! They are always keen to listen to your requests and answer your inquiries and follow your instructions accordingly! Surprisingly, they even went extra mile to make their customers more comfortable, I can feel they are taking their pride in their jobs which touches me. 👍🏻Cleanliness and Amenities also on point! The hotel is very new btw. The only 2 advices I would like to mention: 1. For my room type, there is difficulty to fit in big luggage, let alone for 2 persons so in that case please book bigger room. 2. Breakfast choice is quite limited, so if you had high expectation of hotel’ breakfast you might won’t be surprised. I still strongly recommend this hotel to people and will definitely visit it again as I really had a pleasant stay there.

Ishicho

Kyoto|0.26km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
The place is very good. When I go to the hotel where I am going to Bus from Kyoto Station, although there are 10 stops, there is no need to transfer. The fare is 230 yen per person. It is also very convenient to play Kyoto Station from the hotel when you leave, and the fare is less than 2,000 yen. During the period, the hotel’s front desk called the taxis, and they all came in a few minutes. The place is good. If you want to walk, you can walk to the ”Flower Road”, which seems to be about 3 kilometers. The area should be the most lively place in Kyoto. There are many Chinese people, including the northeastern dialect, Sichuan dialect and Hunan dialect. . . Breakfast can be a pity not to eat in your own room :) There are very few soup pools on the first floor, and it seems to be a private one for two days. There is no view outside the hotel and there is no expectation from the resort. . Clean is basic, overall good!
The Chapter Kyoto, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

The Chapter Kyoto, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Kyoto|0.28km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
I was able to use it on a holiday alone. Because it was a land that I spent four years at a university in Kyoto, there was a land insight and this location was very convenient. However, from people who don't know much about Kyoto, you may feel a little far from downtown Kawaramachi. I walked in the morning 々 I had a morning at the bakery in the hall and wandered around Kawaramachi. The hotel lobby is also nice and smelly. I also use the hotel in Osaka Honmachi in the series, but the lobby and appearance are preferred here. I liked the public bath quite a bit. I was impressed by the quiet and Kyoto atmosphere and the size. Since the view from the room is zero, I can't open the window and feel free. So I thought it would be nice to have a little more price.

Resi Stay Kyo Ryuvilux Nijo

Kyoto|0.41km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
When I booked the room, I didn’t indicate that it was an unoccupied hotel. I had to go to another place to check in and get the room card😠, so I couldn’t check in after we arrived at the hotel. It took me a few long-distance calls to ask that this hotel had to go back to Kyoto I went through the check-in procedure next to the station. On the same day, other tenants encountered the same problem as me and could not check in. Oh my God! It cost me 300 yuan for a round-trip taxi. When you check in, you must first receive emails on your mobile phone and fill in a lot of information, but the interface is very poorly designed. When filling in your nationality, you must be in hundreds of countries around the world. Find your nationality in the country, and everyone has to fill it out once. (Not sorted by strokes or English words), the waiter's attitude is very good, but it's useless, she can't help you! Room facilities and sanitation are good. But if you are not a travel expert, it is not recommended to stay.
Hotel Resol Trinity Kyoto
4.6/572 Reviews

Hotel Resol Trinity Kyoto

Kyoto|0.54km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
Kyoto Prefecture has an accommodation tax. I was a little surprised when I was charged at check-in because it wasn't mentioned on the reservation confirmation. I thought the price included tax when I made the reservation and prepaid on the app, but I was wrong lol. I can't say anything when I'm told it's only a few hundred yen. I thought it would have been nice if there had been an announcement like, ``You have to pay for something.'' The room was small for the price, the chairs were hard and painful, and the distance between the table and the TV was too close, so I didn't think it was a comfortable room... The shower room probably wasn't cleaned properly after the previous person used it, and there was a very sweaty odor that left me holding my breath every time I went in (lol). I was lucky that there was a large public bath (lol).

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

Kyoto|0.59km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
This is the first Oakwood brand hotels in Kansai region, whilst see around Tokyo. Very friendly and approachable staff will genuinely take care of you during your stay. Room cleanliness is impeccable and essential amenities are set such as comb and dental kit. High quality TV (The latest streaming service included) is available. I reckon that it would be comfortable for international travelers and hotel lovers because they know what they want to have. Meanwhile, for the first time guests here, they might be better to choose city hotels where the full service are offered. I’ll come back again when visiting Kyoto for several days. Thank you all staff for hard work under the restricted situation and special appreciation to MAYU san, Front Office Staff, who kindly has done concierge role to find the local restaurant, and also KIWAME san, Front Office Manager, who has been welcomed from arrival to departure moment.

The Screen

Kyoto|0.09km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
We enjoyed our stay at the Screen. The rooms are quite big, as there is a bedroom area and a living space with a big screen. We order dinner and breakfast to the room and they were delicious! We got new slippers every day as well as clean pjs. The hotel isn't too far from the cool area in Kyoto, though a cab is needed. On the negative side, the room is a tad dark, the bathroom doesn't have a shower fan so it takes a while for the mirror to clear up, the restaurant was almost empty but they wouldn't let us sit on a coach to enjoy drinks (we took a cab, though, and went to Bar K6, which was awesome.. state of art drinks!), and the staff, though super nice, didn't have good English. I think it's a very decent option and you get value for the price.

Kyoto|0.25km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
Sakura viewing in Kyoto, it was too late to start, I didn't book a machiya, I chose this Japanese-style hotel with hot springs, and I felt pretty good overall. Although the facilities are old, they are well maintained and the breakfast is not very used. The service staff are all a little old, still dedicated and admired. The only drawback is that it is located in a secluded street and the traffic is not convenient. Fortunately, behind the house is the Kamo River in Kyoto, with cherry blossoms in full bloom, a worthwhile trip!

Super recommended this hotel, the location is not very popular, but in fact it is four or five hundred meters on the side of the subway, very quiet, very convenient to go to Nara, near the direct railway can use the spot coupon, back from the Kiyomizu-dera Temple along the second year It is also just right to walk back to the hotel. In the morning, there is the matchmaker's matcha drink, and the soup can be soaked. The hotel environment is very good, the tatami is also very comfortable, and the breakfast is very delicious.

Tomoya Residence Hotel Kyoto

Kyoto|0.58km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
We recently stayed for four nights in the Tomoya Residence Hotel in Kyoto. We found the accommodation and the friendly and attentive staff were fantastic and just what we were hoping for when we booked. The Tomoya Residence is well situated in a nice part of Kyoto, surrounded by countless restaurants and cafes. It is also nearny to public transport and major attractions including the Nijō Castle and the International Manga Museum. After staying in hotels for a couple of weeks beforehand it was very handy to have our own self contained laundry within our two bedroom Executive Apartment. It was great to have a bit of space to relax and get prepared for our next adventure. Thank you to Tomoya Residence Hotel for a wonderful stay and an excellent base to explore Kyoto from.

Resi Stay Nishijin

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto|2.53km from Kōdō Gyōgan-ji Temple
We had mixed reviews of this accomodation Pros - was a very large room two small doubles and a bunk perfect for families. Amenities are great with wifi, lots of kitchen utensils, stove, tea and coffee supplied, toothbrushes available, washing machine and tablets are provided with an inbuilt dryer system in the bathroom. Bathroom and shower area was also spacious. Beds are on the okay side but could be softer. The area itself is nice and quiet with a bus stop right out from we utilised every day, supermarket and Lawsons are across the road and you feel very safe. Would recommend for families. Cons - check in is in a different location 20minute taxi away so we had to catch a train to the check in office when arriving in Kyoto from Osaka, then a taxi to the accomodation after this which chewed up a few hours as we had to wait 45min in addition to check in due to busyness of the office. The area is a bit out of the way of everything next time I might consider staying at a different resi stay location closer to sights and facilities like shops etc. All the restaurants in the area seem to not open for breakfast until 11am so we had to have McDonald’s if we didn’t want to cook or travel too far for breakfast as we have a toddler (early riser). Same occurred at dinner time a lot of restaurants didn’t seem to be open the Monday or Tuesday we were there or opened too late for us (we travelled with a four year old). Our last disappointment was resi stay apparently have a strict not noise at night policy however another room partied until about 3am but there is no front desk or after hours phone number to call to complain / get the noise to stop. Was very frustrating as walls were very thin so we didn’t sleep very well. Overall we would stay with Resi Stay again but at another location due to Nishijin being a bit too out of the way for us.

Guesthouse Kyoto Abiya

A great stay experience. We lived for 8 days, my wife kept saying, how could it be so clean, it was really spotlessly cleaned every day, and then the landlady was a Taiwanese who came to Japan for 37 years, and her daughter and son helped to take care of the house. The homestay has 3 floors, and there seem to be 3-4 bathrooms and toilets. Anyway, it was quite convenient during our stay. 5 minutes next to Kamogawa, running is so cool. . Also, the transportation is very convenient, and it is convenient to go wherever you go. It is only 20 minutes to Kyoto JR. Highly recommended, it is warmer than the hotel, returning every day is like going home and will not feel cold.

Very comfortable beds & futon and enough room in the bedrooms, only negative was the luminous fire exit sign which was so bright when trying to sleep in the night and lots of dust under the beds. Location was lovely and convenient. It’s opposite Ippodo Tea shop which helps to locate the property on this quiet street. The norme hanging in front of the door says “Tsumugi” so we initially weren’t sure we were at the right place. I should’ve checked my emails to confirm we’d arrive directly at the property rather than pick up the key code from the desk at Kyoto station (for some reason I thought the reception was at the property! my mistake!) so we had to wait for someone to cycle over from the station, difficult waiting in the summer heat but also appreciated him peddling there in a hurry! There were only 3 sets of bowls and chopsticks and could have done with a toaster and tea towel for drying dishes as there is no draining rack but otherwise the kitchen was fine for a short stay. It would also be good to have some way of hanging laundry other than the few hangers which I could hook on to the door frames. Despite these little things I would probably stay here again as it was nice and quiet, comfortable, clean, convenient and nice design aesthetics.
