New Hotels in Kyoto

"That was a pleasure to stay in there. Place was easy to find and the tips how to check-in and check-out were clear. Room was clean and comfortable, there were a lot of space, big beds, nice bathroom. And what is important: best shampoo I have ever used, truly. I really enjoyed staying in there and for sure will come back one day."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"The location is a bit far from Kawaramachi Station, but that actually makes it quieter. The facilities are excellent. The bedroom and living room are separate, and there's a very large table, which was perfect for bringing in food to eat. My sneakers got a bit wet from the rain, but the room had a washing machine with a drying function, which was incredibly useful. Overall, the location is average, but I'm very satisfied with the amenities and the size of the room. Just note that other amenities aren't provided, though there is shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom."

"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."

"I stayed here on a business trip from July 16th to 17th. Although it's a bit of a walk from the subway station, I was pleased with the quiet location, as it's still quite close to Shijo Kawaramachi. The room was clean, and the amenities were well-stocked. The staff, despite being foreign, were very polite and helpful. I'd definitely like to stay here again."

"The hotel is absolutely beautiful, especially the little details – the tableware, the flowers in the lobby, and even the scent! The room size is truly amazing, it's so spacious! We could finally breathe normally and move around comfortably. The bed and pillows are fantastic too, with two options: one with 'pebbles' and a regular one. The staff are polite and friendly! In the evening, there's complimentary champagne and ramen (instant noodles) in the lobby, which was delicious. All the necessary amenities were provided, including slippers, a hairdryer, and so on! My only minor issue was that our room was on the first floor, and you could say there's no real window (it's high up and covered). Since we were tired from our journey, we took a nap during the day and could hear conversations and music from the lobby. The music was calm, so it wasn't too disruptive, unlike the conversations. This wasn't a problem at night, as the 'kitchen' area closes, no one is around, and the music is turned off. I 100% recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again if we're in Kyoto! It's very comfortable, has an excellent location on a quiet street, and is still close to the subway!"

"A very clean and pleasant hotel with a cool interior design. The smart use of space makes the room incredibly cozy, despite its compact size. In the mornings, they offer complimentary pastries and drinks in the lounge area, which is accessible 24/7—perfect for snacks. This is one of the few places I'd want to return to, rather than trying somewhere new."
