Off the beaten path so taxis were sometimes unsure how to find even with the excellent directions provided by Houka staff...nevertheless would still be our first choice in Kyoto. We loved it. Totally up to date. Concierge service through the provided mobile device was helpful and immediately responded. Quiet. Conveniently located for transport. 👍👍👍. Delightful check in experience. Felt like a typical Japanese home. Top marks on all fronts. So pleased we found this gem. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hongying 27 Nov 2018 保存了老房子的格調， 重新裝潢后讓生活方便并舒適， 除了廚房稍小，其他一應用具齊全且高級和好用。雖說在深巷中， 可離旁邊一條通車的街道較近， 其中一個房間還是難免會被車聲叨擾。 ##### Hongying Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Oct 2018 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kyoto Granbell Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Granbell-Hotel.h18414583.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [NISHIYAMA RYOKAN - Established in 1953](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NISHIYAMA-RYOKAN.h3886831.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shinmachi Bettei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shinmachi-Bettei.h7063739.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hotel-Seiryu-Kyoto-Kiyomizu.h44931128.Hotel-Information) > > [SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-SOLARIA-Nishitetsu-Hotel-Kyoto-Premier.h17040479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Gion Misen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ethnography-Gion-Shinmonzen.h19071897.Hotel-Information) > > [Cross Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-CROSS-HOTEL-KYOTO.h27026975.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-Kyoto.h45895767.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Iconic-Kyoto.h67663093.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Kyoto.h74059283.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo.h4538458.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Noku Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Noku-Kyoto.h12714915.Hotel-Information) > > [Rihga Gran Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-GRAN-KYOTO.h38953457.Hotel-Information) > > [Piece Hostel Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Piece-Hostel-Sanjo.h10435680.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Gosho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Gosho.h27637350.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NOHGA-HOTEL-KIYOMIZU-KYOTO.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [Shizutetsu Hotel Prezio Kyoto-Shijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Shizutetsu-Hotel-Prezio-Kyoto-Shijo.h36488271.Hotel-Information) > > [Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kadensho.h34491269.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanco Inn Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Sanco-Inn-Kyoto-Hachijoguchi.h37752048.Hotel-Information) > > [Rinn Gion Kenninji](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Rinn-Gion-Kenninji.h27748251.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyo-machiya Stay WAKA Fushimiinari-tei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyo-Machiya-Stay-WAKA-Fushimiinari-Tei.h12622986.Hotel-Information) > > [ANA Crowne Plaza Kyoto by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-ANA-Crowne-Plaza-Kyoto.h16384.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Via-Inn-Kyoto-Station-Hachijoguchi.h33382855.Hotel-Information) > > [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > > [Hearton Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hearton-Hotel-Kyoto.h1452244.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Miyako Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Westin-Miyako-Kyoto.h878301.Hotel-Information)
