Kyoto Ukyo Ward 5-star Hotels

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.

Arranging family travel, especially with elderly parents as the focus, as long as ”stay well, eat well, and enjoy the scenery” is almost complete; Japan's hot spring hotel with one bed and two meals can save a lot of trouble, which is really a good choice! Thanks to Momijiya Annex in Kaohsiung, Kyoto, for helping me hit a home run. Dad keeps saying he is ”so happy”. And when I live here, I find that the most beautiful maple leaves in Kaohsiung is better than a shrine in the hotel, and you can enjoy the maple outdoors in the soup, with exquisite meals, and a very suitable chat environment. It is really an ideal family travel Accommodation. We have good memories here and recommend it to everyone!

DO NOT BOOK HERE. This hotel is NOT worth the money. My wife and I did a 3 week trip in Japan for our honeymoon and the only bad experience we had in Japan with our bookings was this hotel. We decided to book one night here and were really looking forward to it. Seeing as it was one of the more expensive bookings we had made, we wanted to take advantage of the hotel while there. Unfortunately my wife who suffers from back issues was going through a back crisis at the time we arrived. She couldn't really walk at all so we wanted to go to the hotel restaurant for dinner. However the restaurant was closed and they had not given us any notice before our check-in date. The lounge area was also closed, there was no room service or any sort of food service at all. The staff was not helpful in the slightest and didn't see any issue with the fact that the hotel we spent the most on offered almost nothing when it comes to actual hospitality or service. I ended up having to go find street food (which was pretty delicious) and bring it back to my wife in the room since she couldn't walk. The room was obviously beautiful and the view of the mountain is really nice. But in all honesty you don't get your money's worth AT ALL. Save yourself the money and you can just do breakfast at the restaurant (if it's open) and stay somewhere else for the night. In fact after our experience we were supposed to spend three nights at a luxury hotel in Hakone by the same owner and we went online to do more research because we were so appalled by our stay. We then see that they put a notice on the site that there was going to be construction the entire time we would be there but hadn't sent us an email. We promptly cancelled and booked an airbnb with a beautiful view and private onsen and saved ourselves over $1,000. TLDR: Not worth the amount you pay. Terrible service, hardly any amenities.

My booking was initially for a 46m² Connecting Room but was informed by hotel that my reservation was for 28m² Standard Quad Room. Chose to proceed after Trip proposed a solution. Hotel Location is very convenient, so near to Kyoto Station. There is a nice lounge area that provides free beverages for hotel guests between 2-8pm. Staff are very friendly, polite and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the Hotel buffet beakfast too. Hotel even provided luggage storage for us (till 8+pm) after we checked out. We really enjoyed the stay at the hotel!

Loved that there is eel rice for breakfast!! Unlimited and delicious!! The location of the hotel is the best! It’s located in the center of shopping area kyoto! The only downside is that there is no parking space so we need to park our car at the nearest coin park (around 5mins walk) and it costs us 3000¥ per car! The rooms is pretty well designed and its clean and well maintained There is a bathtub in the bathroom so we get to soak our feet at night after all the shopping!

I got this property information from XiaoHongShu. Very impressive with the hot spring, sunset and sunrise activities. So we book and stay! We checked in around 3.30pm and go for the evening cocktail with the gorgeous views. Dinner and then enjoy ours night spring. And sunrise spring. Honestly this is the best ever experience. Will come back again!

Did’t fail to disappoint. 3rd time staying at Kyoto Hachijoguchi in less than a year. Clean, comfortable, good amenities and excellent price point for location. Kyoto main station, subway, bus stop, mall and 24 hr food joint are all within 8 min walking distance.

great location. Easy to gather around Kyoto attraction. the mall around the hotel are superb. the restaurants and the shops inside kyoto station area are all packed in one place. For JR ride and shin this side of the station are beneficial. For the bus stop in front of the hotel just take Hoop bus instead of local bus which locate in the other side of the kyoto station

We have a pleasant and comfortable stay at cross hotel kyoto. The room and toilet are very clean. Beds are comfortable. Location is good. Near to eateries and shopping places like uniqlo. The staffs at the reception area can communicate in english and they are very helpful in assisting our needs.

Stayed at Daiwa hotel was very good even tho they gave me a smoking room 3 nights stayed was perfectly ok with no smoke smells ☺️. Hotel 2nd & 5th floor has access room to do laundry 🧺 or microwave food also have vending machine and free ice cubes 🧊 very good 👍🏻. Oh ya, free complimentary atas coffee at the lobby 😍. Location super good just 5 mins walk from Kyoto station and route from station to hotel is straightforward plus 2 convenient shops nearby 👍🏻🤓.
