Hotel near Gion/Kiyomizu Temple,Kyoto

With a stay at Capella Kyoto, you'll be centrally located in Kyoto, steps from Kenninji Temple and within a 10-minute walk of Kawaramachi Street. This luxury hotel is 0.9 mi (1.4 km) from Kiyomizu Temple and 1 mi (1.5 km) from Pontocho's Kaburenjo Theater. Relax at the full-service spa, where you can enjoy massages, body treatments, and facials. You can take advantage of recreational amenities such as hot springs and a 24-hour fitness center.

This hotel has 2691 square feet (250 square meters) of space consisting of conference space and 2 meeting rooms. Make yourself at home in one of the 89 air-conditioned rooms featuring minibars (stocked with some free items) and LCD televisions. Cable television is provided for your entertainment. Bathrooms feature shower/tub combinations, complimentary toiletries, and hair dryers. Conveniences include phones, as well as safes and coffee/tea makers.

"Hygiene: Basic hygiene is fine for a hotel of this level. Environment: Very Japanese atmosphere, with warm lighting throughout the rooms, very comfortable. However, the view from the rooms isn't perfect. Facilities: The public areas are small, with a living room, a courtyard connected to a breakfast restaurant, a small bar, and a Japanese restaurant. The wellness area has everything you'd expect except for the swimming pool. Service: Local activities are fun, and the afternoon dance performances are excellent; every night they offer a special bedtime drink, like Bulgari, but each time it's a different flavor of broth—who wants a salty broth before bed? It's puzzling. In addition, turndown service includes a small Kyoto-style gift. Advantages: The core advantage of Capella Kyoto is its location, making it very convenient to walk to the Shijo Kawaramachi shopping district, and city center attractions and subway stations are also within walking distance. Temple view rooms offer views of Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the shimmering sunlight in the distance during the right season. Areas for improvement: Some hotel staff have room for improvement in English, which can sometimes cause communication problems; some non-local housekeeping staff are impolite and do not greet guests proactively. Disadvantages: As shown in the picture, even the view from the temple rooms may be directly facing a cemetery."

"The hotel was pretty good overall. Its location is excellent, very close to Sanjusangendo Temple. The front desk staff, a lovely lady from China, was very thoughtful and helpful. The only minor drawback was that our room was quite a long walk from the elevator, which was a bit annoying."

Hotel near Kawaramachi/Karasuma/Omiya,Kyoto
No. 9 of Luxury Hotels in Japan
The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto sits on the banks of the Kamogawa River—a site favored by Japanese nobility since the 17th century—offering sweeping views of the magical Higashiyama Mountains. This urban resort features 134 guest rooms and suites with distinctive Japanese motifs, four restaurants and bars, authentic Japanese cuisine, and a spa for the ultimate rejuvenation.

"The hotel is in a great location, with the Kamogawa River just outside the window, and a panoramic view of the cherry blossoms along the river. The Mizuki is especially delicious, and we were not satisfied even after two dinners in a row. The service and hygiene are impeccable, and except for the higher prices during the cherry blossom season, there is really no complaint."

Hotel near Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao,Kyoto
The HOSHINOYA Kyoto provides a great place for travelers to relax after a busy day. The HOSHINOYA Kyoto offers a pleasant stay in Kyoto for those traveling for business or leisure. The hotel is only 700m from Arashiyama Station and 49km from Osaka Itami Airport, giving guests a number of convenient transportation options. There is no shortage of things to see in the area, with the Arashiyama, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Okochi Sanso Garden all nearby. In their spare time, guests can explore the hotel's surroundings. This Kyoto hotel features parking on site.

"I am from Yangzhou, Jiangsu. Although Yangzhou is a garden city, there are many such style escape hotels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hongxi Noya of Hoshino Group is definitely worth living. The overall health is very good, the facilities are well maintained and there is no musty smell. That is, all the windows can be wiped clean. This time I checked in in the evening. When I took a taxi, I saw the sunset of Lushan, which was a value-added item. The reception staff was very polite and welcoming. At night, the girl was invited to drive us to the hotel entrance. This road was too standard, almost standing on the mountain, and there was a feeling of adventure. When I checked out, I felt the ship of Hoshino. By the way, I recommend the dyeing workshop and Zhai Pavilion are diagonally opposite. If you like the scenery, it is worth seeing."

Amazing
LLiujingyanWe chose a large corner room with windows on both sides. The hotel building has a history of more than 200 years. The location is great. It is right at the entrance of Kiyomizu Temple Commercial Street. It is quiet in the bustling city. The hotel is very quiet and elegant, with high-end decoration, complete facilities and excellent service! Breakfast is served in a library-style restaurant, which is very special. I highly recommend Japanese breakfast. Everyone thinks it is high-end Japanese cuisine when they post it on WeChat Moments. There are also vegetarian and children's meal options for breakfast. I also strongly recommend the window seat in the executive lounge. Drink Japanese tea or Japanese whiskey in the afternoon and look at the quaint buildings outside. It is worth the effort!

LLovelySKYMy top recommendation from this Japan trip. It actually has more of a guesthouse or boutique inn feel. There are only six rooms in total, each featuring a kitchenette and a washer-dryer combo unit. The room amenities are excellent, and the staff service was fantastic. They were incredibly helpful with various needs, from making dinner reservations to offering local travel tips. Breakfast was also generous, often more than I could finish. It's located near the Kamo River Delta, and public transportation by tram and bus is very convenient. It's the perfect spot to just relax and unwind in Kyoto for a bit. I will definitely return.

HHappyChoiThe hotel is very pretty, Andre Fu never fails to impress! Breakfast was nice with good variety to choose from, would be great if we can have a drink menu as well. The room was a bit small for 3 ladies and the bathroom is quite transparent. Would be great if switchable smart glass is used instead for the bathroom window for privacy. Despite the minor inconvenience, the bathtub is amazing and spacious. It’s perfect for couple. The thermal spring is clean and is usually not busy. The hotel provides swim suit for guests as it is a mixed pool. The service was smooth and the environment is very relaxing. The only thing we didn’t like about the spring was that there is no natural lights as it is located in the basement. Don’t miss out on the morning breathing session! Special shoutout to the concierge team as they very efficiently helped us with restaurant and workshops recommendation and bookings prior to our arrival. Taxis were arranged promptly every time. We had a really good time in Kyoto and we can’t wait to come back again!
