Hyatt Regency Kyoto
4.4/557 Reviews
Higashiyama
The hotel staffs are professional and enthusiastic. For the seven days stay, everything was perfect. The room is spacious compared with other hotels at the same level. The hardware are well maintained. The restaurants provide great food. The breakfast at Cafe 33 is great but limited in variety given the price. The Italian restaurant trattoria sette provides great pizza and pasta. The location is quite convenient given its proximity to Kyoto Station, thought it’s a bit far from Kawaramachi. There are bus stops connecting Gion, Higashiyama, Kawaramachi, Kyoto Station and Tofukuji quite near the hotel.

The experience is amazing. The room, the garden, the staffs and the location (outside the center so we can relax) are perfect. We had a garden-view room with a balcony that we could enjoy our drinks very relaxing!
Kyo-Anthu Inn

Higashiyama
Beautiful Guest House with amazing hosts. This family run Guest House is amazing. It is as good as a 5 star hotel but better! The rooms are spotless and a good size for Japan with all the amenities you could need. However, that is not the best part - the best part is the host family who are very special indeed. From the minute I was collected at Kyoto Station by Emiko and her father I was treated with such kindness and enthusiasm. I felt like I was royalty! I must not forget the location, which is perfect for visiting all the local attractions, either within walking distance, or a short train ride from the local station which is just a 5 minute walk. If you stay anywhere else in Kyoto you are just missing out on the best Guest House there is.

When I first came to Kyoto, I didn't know which one to choose for a hotel. I saw the attractive price of this one, so I chose this one. After arriving, I found it very pleasant. It is 10 minutes away from Kyoto Station and the transportation is very convenient. It is very close to the Kyoto National Museum and Sanjusangendo! It is convenient for eating and shopping near the house, and there are also family convenience stores and some drugstores nearby.

We had a perfect stay at this new boutique hotel and appreciated the care and consideration for all the well curated amenities: heated wood floors, comfortable bed, excellent pour over coffee, variety of teas, great tub/shower and bath products, complimentary access to on-site washer and dryer, humidifier, mini fridge, and of course robe and slippers. The staff spoke excellent English and were always available to offer helpful recommendations, book a taxi or show you how to use the very high-tech all-in-one washer dryer. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a small and intimate boutique experience within an easy 15-minute walk of Gion.
