"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 Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao,Kyoto
No. 13 of Luxury Hotels in Japan
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."

"When we chose this hotel, we saw pictures and videos that made us think it was a resort estate, but it's not. There's very little to see inside the hotel; I could walk through the entire property in 5 minutes. Secondly, the hotel advertises natural hot springs, but the public ones reek of disinfectant as soon as you walk in, which is very unpleasant. The room itself was okay and had character, and the bathtub was very large with a pleasant woody scent when bathing. Finally, the breakfast – honestly, the taste was just mediocre. I wouldn't choose this hotel again at the same price point."

Immerse yourself in the unique, rich and beautiful history and culture of Japan at Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto. Set along the peaceful Hozu River in the scenic Arashiyama Hills, our Kyoto hot springs hotel welcomes you to an authentic Japanese-style experience. A harmonious blend of a relaxing haven and the modern conveniences of a vibrant city, our Kyoto luxury hotel is perfectly poised to offer access to some of Japan's most important national treasures. With an intimate collection of 39 rooms, including six specialty rooms, this Kyoto 5-star hotel is inspired by traditional Japanese touches and culture, offering a truly enriching and indigenous experience. For a locally inspired meal, the restaurant and comfortable cafe offer a variety of gourmet options.

"The hotel is nested in a quiet corner, within walking distance of Sagaogurayama Tabuchiyamacho. Im however a bit disappointed with the limited facilites it offered when compared to the price we paid. We stayed in the Tsukinone Twin Room which is on the third floor of the building. The view is pleasant. The room is of decent size. Yet there were no public onsens. We need to pay YEN5000 for 45 minutes and there are only 2 private onsens. For more luxurious rooms with private onsen, the one I visited was on the ground level with no views as it were by the pathway to the reception , separated by wooden planks. We paid around Yen5000 for the breakfast in the hotel, Both western and japanese breakfasts were offered. We tried both. It is of standard. The 4 different juices presented on the top of the bento box was impressive. The vaccinity is pleasant. We could walk to the train station, the tourist rown area , the nearby parks and the world heritage sites. Nice area ."

The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu - a Member of the Leading Hotels of the World-

9.7/10

We 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!

The Kamo Delta is a hidden gem in Kyoto and this place is right on the correct spot. The room is fabulous with great bedding and quality furniture. It’s more like a large studio apartment than a hotel room. There’s even a stove top, laundry machine, and microwave/toaster oven. The large window facing the river actually slides open so you can let the fresh air from the riverside into the room. My favorite was just watching people enjoying the rock crossing at the delta at sunset. Such a lovely spot and that I hope to spend more time at soon. Location is super convenient to buses, a subway station, and Shimogamo Shrine - a UNESCO world heritage site that is just spectacular and very much undiscovered by the hordes or tourists that visit Kyoto (and I hope it stays that way!)

So glad that I chose Six Senses Kyoto, love the design and everything about the hotel. I must say the pool was one of the best pools I ever swam, felt so calm and relaxed. Room was super comfortable and clean, overall experience was beyond my expectations. Thank you the team for their impeccable service, they are so well trained and professional. Excellent quality breakfast with buffet and à la carte menu.

We loved our stay at Hotel the Mitsui. Super nice and zen design . Absolutely adore their lobby area, which I think is designed by Andre Fu. Always drawn into his work somehow. Breakfast food was okay, but the view really made up everything l. Super relaxing & beautiful Service was great. Most of them were able to speak English proficiently. There’s a thermal spring at their basement, which you have to call the reception before you go to ensure there’s enough space. Everything was well prepared, including swimwear, disposable underpants, towels, water, etc. Since they control the # of people, everyone has their own space and it still feels very private. Room is nice with many details. Love their huge selection of pillows available for guests. It’s not huge, but the space is well used. Location wise, I wouldn’t say it’s the most convenient, but if you take a cab, everything is reachable in 20 mins max, so it’s not too bad. There are still good restaurants and touristy places to go that are in walkable distance, so it’s not middle of nowhere. Overall, fantastic experience which I will recommend for others!
