The Thousand Kyoto

Kyoto Station Kyoto|2.87km from downtown
The terrible check-in service provided by the two front desk staff totally ruined my mood to enjoy in this hotel, despite the man who look like the manager apologized when I checked out. I don’t think I will book this hotel again. We booked two rooms, they managed to give us rooms on the same floor but they mixed up with our keys. The staff at the front desk checked for a few times but still the keys were wrong. When we check out, the receipt was wrong too. We booked a triple room for 3 adults but they only let us have two key cards and didn’t want to provide more even we requested. For those who has young toddler, kindly note there is no bed guard available in twin bed room due to the thick mattress. I was also told that baby cot is only provided for baby between 0-2 and it is “illegal” to be provided for my son who is just 2 and 1m owing to their hotel or whatever policy. I was so disappointed that this five-star hotel couldn’t provide me a way to resolve the issue which I have never experienced in other hotels. Their baby cot is 120x70cm which is the same size as the one in my home. The staff even asked if my son would only “sleep” in it as if he would demolish the cot. At the end I was offered to use the baby cot but they didn’t put it in my room until I asked for it when i returned at night. The hotel could have put more emphasis on details if it is a family-welcoming hotel. We received the welcome pack for kids in the room. Baby stroller was also available at the front desk. Apart from that, kids tableware was nice although not provided at the beginning when we arrived at the restaurant. Anyhow, the hotel has a great location. The food at breakfast was delicious. The hardware in the room was new and clean. The bed and duvet were comfortable. The facilities inside the room can be controlled using an iPad and it was interesting to see a robot delivering room service. The art work at the lobby also caught my sons’ attention to stay.

Resi Stay Nishijin
4.4/512 Reviews

Resi Stay Nishijin

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto|2.83km from downtown
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.

Kyoto Crystal Hotel Ⅲ
4.3/572 Reviews
Kyoto Station
I had a great deal on this hotel and was very happy with my choice. The room was super clean and more spacious than I expected. No closet for your clothes, though. there is one drawer next to the bed, for some small stuff. Two electricity sockets and 2 usb inlets per bed. The beds were very comfy! Shower and bath were perfect. Reception was very accommodating. The room has a water heater and fridge. Couple of things notable: Station Tokyo is a 10 minutes walk, if you walk briskly. I thought the station was closer by, so that was a misconception on my part. Breakfast is very Japanese: many choices, but definitely not for vegetarians. I was glad our neighbors spent their evenings talking and not much else, because we could hear them talk, the walls were that thin. No safe in the room. All in all, I would personally choose an hotel nearer to the station, but if you don't mind the walk, the price and quality of the hotel couldn't be better, that's why 4 stars.

Likes -Perfect location, close to Sanjo, Kawaramachi, and Kyoto City Hall -Great prices -Comprehensive facilities, such as coin laundry, vending machines, and all the in-room amentities Dislikes -Inconsistent level of cleanliness with different staffs; the bathtub was clogged with hair until the night before check-out -Loud noises at night from the streets
Wander Kyoto Nanajo -Former Hotel M's Est Nanajo-
4.5/5165 Reviews
Kyoto Station
Advantages: The location is very good. It is a few minutes walk to the subway station. There is 711 opposite. It is very convenient to buy breakfast and late night snacks. Datang is very spacious. You can buy breakfast from 711 and eat here. The service is very friendly. Disadvantages: The toilet is too small. Another big problem is that the wifi is often disconnected. Not only is it stuck, but the network is often disconnected and does not work. I think this problem should be easily improved. Overall, the price and location are very cost-effective. If the wifi can be improved, I will choose here again next time. The fact that 711 is right downstairs is a plus.
Kyoto Takasegawa Bettei
4.7/536 Reviews
Kyoto Station
It is a hotel that combines tradition and modernity. It is located in a very quiet area, just 15 minutes walk from the historic centre of Kyoto and 10 minutes from the station. It is an hotel with excellent reception service. They helped us with all our doubts, every morning when they left offered us bottles of frozen water to support the heat and helped us with the shipment of baggage to Osaka, they have a staff of 10! The room was wide, it had tatami floor, a very wide and comfortable bed and a living area. We tested the continental and Japanese and both were very diverse and complete! Another point in favour of the room was the bathroom with cedro bath, ideal for resting after spending the day by Kyoto! It is a very recommended hotel! The hotel is a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel, a great hotel
Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto
4.8/559 Reviews
Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
My wife’s birthday trip at the Suiran was a dream come true. With successive Covid cancellations, it took us four years of planning, but it was worth the wait. With their traditional Japanese structures and landscaping, the Suiran was our oasis of calm during Kyoto’s busiest season (cherry blossoms). We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and the best breakfasts of our lives in their dining room, and blissful riverside happy hours in their cafe. Our comfortable room had all the amenities, and a soothing minimalist aesthetic. The Suiran staff is spectacular: thoughtful, gracious, attentive. Through our years of planning and days of enjoyment, we were guided by Suiran’s chief concierge, Hiromi Maruyama. Her kindness, patience, and expertise added greatly to the success of our time in Kyoto. Her suggestions and insights, and good spirits were a beacon shining our way. We are indebted to her for her efforts on our behalf.
Insomnia Kyoto Oike
4.7/535 Reviews
This new hotel, which opened on September 29, 2023, is well located in a street corner of the crossing of the two Kyoto metro lines. Its amazing name probably refers to the ”lounge” of the opened footpath 24 hours a day where you offer coffee and fruit juices at will in addition to a dozen different types of bread (variant selon l'heure, des croissants étant par exemple offerés le matin et des feuilletés au fromage en fin de journée). Further emphasis on the following: • les rooms are very medium size but well-equipped and light-fridge; • a reusable plastic bottle is offered at the arrival so that we can keep water fresh in the small refrigerator of the room; • le staff is avenue, however speaking little English or other languages than Japanese; • l'hotel is still in routing and it arrived one morning (on 11) that the lounge was at the abandonment, Without bread and juice, the ice cream smelled in the bay; there was no one at the reception counter; • the household of the rooms is made on a daily basis with change of the draps on request; • the (payment) washing machine offers only one washing machine and one dryer.

As the former imperial capital of Japan, Kyoto effortlessly blends the old with the new. This city in the Kansai region is renowned for its well-preserved temples, stunning gardens, traditional teahouses, and the historic geisha district of Gion.

Travelers usually fly into Kansai International Airport or Osaka Itami Airport before making their way to Kyoto by train or bus. The city has an efficient network of buses and trains, including a subway system.

The official currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY). Credit cards are accepted in many places, but cash is still commonly used. Japanese is the primary language spoken, though English is understood in many tourist areas.
