Hot Springs Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

This hotel is one of the best I have ever stay! The staffs are really polite and friendly! They can speak English! They provide soaps for babies & also provide child’s pajamas which I can let my child wear when going to the onsen area before changing out. The supper ramen is really yummy N the breakfast is incredible, it’s really comprehensive! They have different onsen pools. Also they have massage chairs & snacks provided outside the onsen area! Very recommended!

We booked the modern Japanese-style room, and our child absolutely loved rolling around on the tatami mats. The hotel's onsen (hot spring) was very clean. The only minor drawback was the soundproofing; there's a hospital nearby, so emergency ambulances often drove by at night, and I was woken up several times by their sirens. Overall, this hotel is still quite good, very close to Kyoto Station, and there are multiple bus lines right outside the hotel entrance.

This is an absolutely wonderful hotel! The top floor features a lounge with stunning views, where you can catch the sunset and the entire Kyoto nightscape in the evening. The surrounding area is packed with dining and drinking options – you'll never have to worry about finding food. In fact, it's so incredibly convenient to eat out that the only challenge is deciding among so many delicious choices! There are also many charming little shops nearby, yet the area isn't noisy or chaotic, creating a truly pleasant and inviting atmosphere. Transportation is excellent, too. I particularly enjoyed the drinks and beer in the lounge; sipping one while watching the sunset in the evening was pure bliss. The hot springs were also excellent. It offers superb value for money, and I will definitely be back!

First off, the location is excellent, right across from Hankyu Arashiyama. We came from Kyoto, and there's a direct bus from our Kyoto hotel, so we took the bus. We checked in at 3 PM, dropped off our luggage, and then went to explore around Togetsukyo Bridge. We also had tickets for the Arashiyama Scenic Railway at 2:30 PM. For dinner, we had two time slots, 5:30 PM and 8:00 PM; we chose 5:30 PM, and the dinner was fantastic. The hotel also offers a late-night snack. The private onsen baths were busy at night, so we opted for the public bath, which was empty since we went early. The next morning, we chose a private bath. This stay included two meals, and we had plenty of time, so it truly felt like a vacation. Oh, and there's a tea bar on the first floor; I love mocha or cocoa. After the evening bath, there are popsicles, and after the morning bath, there's lactic acid drink. It's wonderful!

Hotel ALa in Kyoto was a delightful surprise during my trip. The pictures made it look quite ordinary, but upon checking in, I found it to be understated yet elegant. The hotel is conveniently located near the station, and there's a 7-Eleven right across the street with a great selection of beers. The miniature dry landscape gardens (Karesansui) on each floor were a pleasure to look at, and the natural hot spring, 'Gokou no Yu', was incredibly relaxing and free for guests to use. My room even had a small window view that was absolutely stunning when I opened the curtains in the morning. I highly recommend the sukiyaki at the hotel; the beef was tender and delicious, and the portion was generous. A lovely staff member even helped serve it, and the accompanying fruit was surprisingly good. I stayed for three nights, slept comfortably, and had a wonderful time. Many thanks to the entire hotel team; their hard work made my sightseeing experience even more enjoyable.

The hotel offers a unique charm right from the entrance: guests are invited to remove their shoes and enjoy the barefoot-friendly environment. Instead of modern key cards, you receive a traditional key attached to a wooden tag, which adds a wonderful sense of ritual and nostalgia. The amenities are diverse and impressive. Complimentary tea and coffee are available, and the communal baths are luxurious and impeccably clean. For a more private experience, there are five uniquely styled private baths to choose from. The hotel also thoughtfully provides board games; my friend and I borrowed a Shogi set. Playing on the tatami mats, we found ourselves utterly engrossed, completely losing track of time. It was a truly immersive and dreamlike experience, creating a wonderfully profound atmosphere.

This is the place where I stayed in Kyoto on the first day with my mom and youngest sibling. My mom, who is picky about any accommodation, said it was really nice as soon as she entered the room. There was a table next to the bed, so she liked it when I bought food from a convenience store and drank beer. However, the air conditioner was a fan type, but it was a bit chilly in February, so she said it would have been nice to have an electric blanket. I hung up towels because I thought it would be dry. As for the hot spring, I think you can think of it as just a bathtub filled with water. The water was hot, which was nice. There was nothing special about it. The breakfast was really great. It was a bit expensive, but there were a lot of options and it was delicious. I don't know if it was because we went a little early, or if they had time to prepare it, or if they served it when we arrived, but it was nice to be able to eat rice and soup warm. The garden was smaller than I thought.

I chose this hotel for my trip to Amanohashidate. Aside from being a bit far and inconvenient without a car, everything else was fine. It offers great value for money; the decor is a bit old but very well maintained. There's just one thing I hope they can improve: when checking in, perhaps they could ask if guests need help laying out the futon. I ended up sweating after trying to put on the duvet cover myself, making my shower a bit pointless. It would be helpful to offer assistance for those unfamiliar with setting up Japanese futons.

Everything is wonderful. The service is very considerate. The counter kindly directed me where to buy bubble wrap so that I could send the package smoothly. There is a gift of jelly in the fridge and the ramen provided for midnight snack is also delicious. Thanks to Dormy Inn , I had a great time in Kyoto.

Nice neighbourhood, with familymart just steps away from the house. Great house with hotspring. Enjoyed the evening with families. Had a good breakfast provided by the hotel. If we have enough time, would like to explore the neighbourhood in the daytime next time. Great stay.
