New Hotels in Kyoto

"I stayed here on a trip with a friend. The room had a stylish interior that felt very Kyoto-like, and it was very clean. It was spacious and comfortable, and we were able to relax. The access from the nearest station is very good, and there are many convenience stores and restaurants within walking distance, so I think it's a great location not only for sightseeing but also for exploring the area around the hotel! I would definitely like to stay here again!"

"Overall, it was a fantastic stay! 1. The hotel is very new. The room was around 35 square meters, with a separate bedroom and bathroom, including a bathtub and a full set of amenities. There's also a public bath on B1, perfect for those who love a good soak. 2. The service was incredibly warm and welcoming. When checking in, they even escorted me to my room and explained how everything worked. Staff always greeted me enthusiastically when entering or leaving the hotel, and the room was cleaned daily. 3. The location is very convenient. It’s just a 6-7 minute walk to department stores like Daimaru and Takashimaya, as well as the Kamo River. Kiyomizu-dera Temple is about a 30-minute walk away. There are convenience stores and various restaurants nearby, yet the streets are clean and quiet. The room's soundproofing was excellent, so I wasn't disturbed by any noise. Other notes: There's a restaurant downstairs (I didn't try it, but the menu mentioned Kobe beef). The room had a modern Japanese design – simple, cozy, and unique."

"The staff were very welcoming every time I entered the hotel or came down to the lobby, which made the stay feel warm and comfortable. The hotel is very conveniently located between two train stations, making it easy to travel around the area. There is also a convenience store right opposite the hotel, and a McDonald’s just around the corner, which adds to the overall convenience. Breakfast is served at the café downstairs, which appears to be a popular local spot as it is always filled with diners. Although the selection is not very wide, the food is quite delicious and satisfying. The room itself is clean and well-maintained, although on the smaller side. Overall, a simple but very convenient and pleasant stay with friendly service and a great location."

"The hotel was within walking distance from Kyoto Station. The room was compact but clean, and the facilities were sufficient. Since I was staying with a friend, having a separate bath and toilet was a huge plus. There were plenty of outlets, and the air conditioning could be adjusted freely. I'm not sure if there were other guests, but it was quiet at night, and the bed was comfortable, so I slept soundly. We could also easily reach all the tourist spots we wanted to visit from a nearby bus stop, so the location was great for transportation. If I have the chance, I'd like to stay here again and even for a few more days."

"The room was spotless and well-maintained, with a great ambiance. It's conveniently located near Shijo Takakura Daimaru and Takashimaya. From Kyoto Station, it's just a two-stop ride to Shijo, and then a short walk of a few hundred meters. The area is also very quiet, and there's a 7-Eleven right across from the hotel. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Kyoto."

"I had an excellent 5 nights stay here. Close to the subway, buses, combinis, restaurants, and a very lovely neighborhood vibe. Very charming at night when the lights turn on. Quaint and convenient area. Perfect for exploring Kyoto. Staff were very friendly and polite. Coffee and tea always available in the lounge. House keeping on point. Hotel amenities feels new. A note on the windows (deluxe king room), while it does not open, is frosted, and has no outside view, you could still tell when there is daylight. Doesn’t bother me as I was out most of the day. Overall a perfect stay at a reasonable price, I couldn’t have asked for more."

"An excellent stay! This was my first trip to Kyoto, and I'd definitely choose this hotel again next time. **Location:** Tucked away in a quiet spot amidst the bustling city, it's easy to find. All the main attractions, shopping areas, public transport, convenience stores, and restaurants are incredibly close and well-equipped. It's about a 5-minute walk from Exit 5 of Shijo subway station, super easy to locate, right by the intersection where the Hotel Nikko Princess Kyoto is. It's really convenient for accessing both the Shijo shopping district and Kyoto Station, with Shijo and Karasuma subway stations as options. Even though the main roads in Kyoto can get noisy at night with vehicles revving, this hotel isn't directly on the main road, so there's absolutely no noise disturbance – it's perfect. **Room Amenities:** The central air conditioning vents were silent, the fridge was quiet, and all the furniture, appliances, linens, and toiletries were new and quite clean. The room was spacious enough. The bathroom didn't have a bathtub, which I consider a plus, and the shower had good water pressure and stable temperature. My only minor gripe is that the bathroom exhaust fan couldn't be turned off, leading to a slight hum at night, but closing the bathroom door kept it from affecting my sleep. **Public Facilities:** There's a laundry room with dryers, a 24-hour self-service coffee machine offering freshly ground coffee, a kettle, and a selection of tea bags. The hotel has five floors and two elevators. Although breakfast isn't provided, there's bread and juice in the mornings, and instant noodles in the evenings, available in the communal dining area. I'm not sure if there's dedicated hotel parking, but there are plenty of parking lots nearby. **Service:** Although the platform stated that check-in isn't possible after 11 PM, the hotel front desk is staffed 24/7. There were staff members who spoke Japanese, English, Chinese, and French, though the French and other language speakers might be on rotating shifts. They offer complimentary luggage storage on the day of check-out. **Additional Tip:** I also chose the optional JR HARUKA e-ticket from Kansai Airport to Kyoto when booking. It was indeed cheaper than buying tickets at the station. You just need to use the QR code sent to you to exchange for your train ticket directly at a JR station ticket machine."

"A very good hotel, quite well located and quiet. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The only downside was the fluctuating internet connection during our stay. The welcome was warm with thoughtful touches for the guest. I highly recommend this hotel if you're coming to Kyoto!"

"The hotel’s location is really strategic! Walking distance to Don Quijote, Family Mart, and bus stops (also to and from Kyoto Station if you’d like to add some KM to your Japan trip, around 15-20 mins by foot). Amenities are decent, although soundproofing is not the best (we could hear bit of noises and foot steps from next rooms) - after a long day of walking we’re too tired to bother and had a pretty good rest! Recommended if you’re looking for budget friendly option and strategic location."

"The hotel's location is fantastic – there are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and it's super close to four major shopping streets. It's also just a 6-minute walk from the tram station. The ambiance is upscale and elegant, and the staff are very polite. The room was well-appointed, and the bed was large and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. All this at an affordable price! I'll definitely be back."
