⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Perfect Stay in Kyoto! Absolutely loved our stay at Soraniwa! The hotel was perfect for experiencing authentic Kyoto. The onsen was wonderfully relaxing after a busy day exploring, and the breakfast was delicious, especially enjoyed upstairs on the terrace with beautiful views over Kyoto. The location is fantastic, with shopping, restaurants and transport all on your doorstep. The staff were amazing, and the complimentary coffee, drinks and popsicles throughout the day were such a lovely touch. Everything about this hotel was wonderful. Would return in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!

First time traveling to Kyoto (and Japan) & we felt like we struck gold. The location couldn’t have been better. The onsen was absolutely amazing. The staff were incredible friendly & helpful. 100/10. If you’re thinking about staying in Kyoto, you should stay here. The room was small but perfectly big enough for us + 3 suitcases. They have larger rooms than what we booked as well.

The hotel is so pretty, the service so kind. I would love to stay there again for longer time. Also after check out and moving to another city I found out I miss one ring (it fall under bed, my mistake) I contact the hotel and they were able to found it and shipped to my new hotel in a Tokio. I’m surprised and so thankful

This is our second stay as we stayed in the same room as we did last summer, coincidence but interesting how they assign rooms. Location is great to walk to everywhere, and take subways, taxis are just outside by the entrance all the time. Room is tiny but has everything. Tickets for one free drink daily per person but it is always busy on the rooftop. We used once, breakfast is authentic Japanese style.

This was one of our first hotels in our visit to Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo. It was incredible and felt like a luxury boutique hotel from the moment we arrived. The location is superb and the amenities are incredible. We were truly spoiled, and felt let down by all of the other properties we stayed at after this one. Highly recommend!
