Kyoto Brighton Hotel
4.6/566 Reviews

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

Kyoto|1.22km from Uhō-in Temple
Located a few minutes walk to the Imperial Palace is this hotel. This area is considered to be a ”quiet zone” so there is a minimal commercial activity. There are very few restaurants and the closest convenience stores are a block or two away. If you ever watched movies like Die Hard or In the Line of Fire, you remember scenes in a hotel with a large indoor atrium with glass elevators. All the room doors face the open atrium. That is exactly what the design of this hotel is like. All the amenities are on the ground floor or below. As for the rooms. For Japan, these rooms are quite large. It would be comfortable for international visitors who are used to larger rooms. The amenities are not branded but of higher quality. There are three areas for parking. Ground level, basement, and outdoor. While checkout is at noon, you get complimentary parking until 3 pm. We choose this hotel for this feature. Allows you to spend the day exploring without worrying about the expensive street parking costs. There is a taxi stand with taxis until about 10 pm. There are five restaurants, be fair warned, all are quite pricy. There are two breakfast options. If you want a traditional Japanese breakfast, you go to the Japanese restaurant Hotaru. If you want a ”western” breakfast, there is a buffet at the Terrace restaurant. We were not interested in seeing the nightlife but wanted to be close to the Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle. This hotel was perfect for our needs. Would recommend without hesitation.

Roku Kyoto, Lxr Hotels & Resorts

Kyoto|2.01km from Uhō-in Temple
From the moment we arrived at Roku Kyoto, we felt completely taken care of. From the warm greetings we received as we got out of the taxi to the genuine smiles and hospitality given to us at Reception. There is a pride that exudes from everyone at Roku Kyoto, and for good reason. It is an absolutely extraordinary hotel. But it's not just the beautiful accommodations and the incredibly thoughtful design throughout the property. Nor is it just the sumptuous food stunningly presented at every meal. It is the people who work there and represent the true heart and soul of what the Roku Kyoto experience is all about. My wife and I have traveled all around the globe and we have rarely encountered such a level of excellence. The architectural design, the interior design, the facilities and the grounds are all stunning. In fact, the photos from their website do not do it justice. The room we had on the 4th floor was gorgeous and the bed was perhaps the most comfortable bed we have ever encountered (and we travel often!). The tranquility, the views, the attention to detail throughout the hotel are are not just glorious but absolutely inspiring. The gorgeous pool is filled with water from the natural hot springs that abound in that area of Kyoto. It is a sumptuous experience to swim in that very special pool. We only had breakfast at the hotel, but it was the best we encountered in Japan. The food was beautifully prepared , the choices were extensive and stunningly displayed and the service was impeccable. In fact, service is another thing that sets this extraordinary hotel apart. It's not just well done, there is a pride and a joy that emanates from every member of the staff, no matter what their position. It's what gives this place true heart and soul and it's what elevates the experience. We will never forget our stay at Roku Kyoto and cannot wait to return! We would like to especially thank Kayo Naskagawa. Her attention to detail, her inherent ability to go the extra mile for a guest. Her sweetness and ease. Her ability to listen and use that information to heighten the Roku experience for a guest. Kayo, for us, represents everything we love about Roku Kyoto and why we cannot wait to return.
Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa

Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto|2.19km from Uhō-in Temple
We were a group of 6 people staying at the Hotel Mitsui on a trek through Japan. Suffice it to say, that the group was all pleased that we stayed here. Our initial check in process was a bit bumpy (no tea service) as it was clear everyone was checking into the hotel for a holiday weekend. However, within 30 minutes, we were all on our way to our rooms. Overall, the hotel and the rooms are designed in muted tones and a modern zen vibe. Where other hotels would simply have drywall covered with pictures, the Mitsui has clearly thought about every surface. We were in a room that looked out to the central garden, which is beautiful. The room had a nice long marble bench at the entrance which was nice for putting shoes on or setting things down to pack / unpack. Further in the room, there is a bar area, desk area and a nice long padded bench by the window. Controls for the room are near the bed and you can dim lights or raise and lower blinds with ease. The bathroom is a very clever design with two pocket door entrances, offering a closet area, double sink, a wet room with tub and shower and rom for the toilet. The room for the toilet is wide and very peaceful. Of course, it comes with the fancy Toto Neorest toilet that raises and lowers the seat automatically, has a heated seat, has a bidet feature and more. The shower offers both a hand held and a rain head that with a fine spray. Bathroom toiletries are crafted for the Hotel Mitsui. Of course, robes were available (just ask if you need a different size). Let’s talk about sleeping…. The bed was among the most comfortable that I have ever tried (firm, with just the right amount of softness). Down pillows and a duvet complete the scene. And course, should you not like your pillow, there is a pillow menu. The rooms at the Mitsui are quiet with blackout shades. At night, gentle nightlights illuminate the path to the bathroom. In all, the sleep experience is well thought out and devine. One of the stand out features of the hotel would be the Thermal Springs in the basement. The Thermal Springs are a modern version of a traditional Japanese onsen. Access is open to everyone in the hotel, but the number of people permitted in is managed to in more than 14 people at a time. You have to call ahead to make sure there is space, but in our case, we were always able to get in. Anyone who out touring in Kyoto, should make time in their busy schedule to visit the Thermal Springs between their tours and dinner - it is a great way to wash off the city and relax before dinner - very civilized. This review is particularly fun for me as our stay at the Mitsui ultimately caused us to break up with our travel agent. He was SO insistent that we stay at the Ritz , he could not imagine trying something new like the Mitsui (nor was he willing o have his team check it out). In the end, I feel vindicated, we loved our stay at the Mitsui and would happily return

Resi Stay Nishijin
4.3/513 Reviews

Resi Stay Nishijin

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto|0.82km from Uhō-in 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.

Hostel Sui Kyoto
4.6/59 Reviews
Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma
AMAZING!! This is one of my favourite hotels/ hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Feels so traditionally Japanese and the small touches around the dormitories are lovely. From the calming music that plays all day to the amazing bathroom/ shower facilities, we didn’t want to leave! Towels, hairdryers and toiletries are complimentary. The 206 bus runs from Kyoto train station near Dormitory Sui and then it’s about a 5 minute walk. Whilst it’s not in the centre of town, it’s still very close. The woman working on reception was SO lovely and couldn’t do enough to help us. Side note: if you book through Booking.com, you will still need to pay city tax when you arrive. We were not aware of this. Can’t recommend this place enough when you’re in Kyoto!
Guest House Kingyoya
4.6/54 Reviews
Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma
I stayed with my 80 year old mother who lived in Machiya until I married. Very nostalgic space. It was old but well maintained and seemed to have stayed at my grandmother's house 50 years ago. Now my mother lives in a condominium, and I live in a confidential house, so I'm worried about the sound and the cold. There are heaters and hot water. Because the sound was out of the tube, I was very concerned when I went to the toilet at night. It was the first second floor room, so it was good to change to the first floor room near the toilet. I want to stay, but if you are worried, I recommend asking anything by phone or email. The 500 yen rental bicycle is quite old and should be new. If you check in, please lubricate. Breakfast is a hall kotatsu and everyone is all together (8:~ and 8:30 ~). At first it was awkward air, but once the story is over, it is fun. The person who is nervous to the first person may be confused. The meal was made by all the owners from the morning. The correct Japanese breakfast such as baked fish, miso soup and small bowl was delicious. The accommodation fee is very reasonable for Kyoto, and I want you to stay in the young and foreign people now. It is all the words of the young owner, ”I want you to enjoy the inconvenience”. I'm sure I'll repeat if I'm 20 years younger, but the toilet is close recently (laughs).

It is recommended for those who want to stay at a reasonable price with a feeling of cleanliness. I had a morning at the cafe of 1F for breakfast, but it was very delicious and very satisfying. Thank you very much.
Petit Hotel Kyoto

We are quite satisfied with this hotel. The hotel staff are kind. Although their English is not very smooth, they express to us the dialogue he often talks about. The hotel room is larger than other hotels and can rest a few comfortable.
Stay Sakura Kyoto Nishijin
0/50 Reviews
Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma
Standard bed and breakfast, no breakfast, no reception desk. Our family of three booked a triple room with three beds. Staying in Kyoto, in addition to the consumption tax, you have to pay another tax, which is equivalent to RMB 77 for two nights for three people. Advantages: very cheap, large rooms, very clean, refrigerator, bathtub, complete facilities, and very good toiletries. Disadvantages: It must be noted that the place of check-in and the place of stay are not the same. The place to live is relatively remote, far from the subway station, and there is a bus stop nearby, which is very convenient for direct access to Kyoto Station. So it is suitable for going out in the morning and coming back to sleep at night. There is a convenience store nearby and there are few places to eat.
