Our room was clean, organized and a great size! The beds were super comfy and we had great sleeps. The area is quiet and is close to a quaint river. We used their luggage delivery service as we arrived in Kyoto before check in. Their office is about a 5 minute walk from Kyoto station, and you can drop your luggage off and they will deliver it to your hotel. This allowed us to enjoy the day without our luggage before our check in! We would recommend this place to anyone staying in Kyoto. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/90bed9ff-4338-4c49-8578-7ff9f3897a7e-1759345352197.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d8478e9-f748-497e-ae7f-0c3cc070b8bb-1759345352181.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Janelle Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly 14 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities This was a great hotel to stay in with a kitchenette and a washing machine in the room.

I loved how the room included a washer for our dirty clothes. It was really convenient since our total trip to Japan was 15 days. The location of this hotel was also located near this really cute shopping street with a bunch of food places. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Nicole Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mikhail 12 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location is truly excellent — the metro is just 1 minute away, several bus lines are nearby, and it’s easy to walk to most central attractions. The room itself was spacious, though the furniture felt a bit dated. The washing machine was very handy during our 11-day stay, and the air conditioning worked well. The kitchen, however, was only minimally stocked. A real highlight was the Customer Service Center near JR Kyoto: we were able to check in there, leave our luggage, and have it delivered to the room well before the official check-in time. This service made arrival smooth and stress-free. The main downside was the poor sound insulation. If you’re a light sleeper, be sure to request Level 3. We stayed on Level 2 and unfortunately had several noisy and unpleasant nights. ##### Mikhail Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vean 2 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recomend The hotel is clean and very spacious. It is a 30 minutes walk from the main busy markets. We were able to leave our luggage before we were able to check in, that was very helpful. ##### Vean Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia 6 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well equipped and very clean facility for a family with elementary kids.

The stomping and running around of kids or people staying right above you. We loved how everything was functional and useful ##### Lea Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hiroyuki 28 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities GOOD ##### Hiroyuki Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 12 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Central NY comes to Kyoto. Our stay was wonderful. Everybody was very welcoming and helpful. The location was perfect for what we wanted. Located in a quiet neighborhood with access to lots of shrines, temples, restaurants, subway, grocery store. The soaking tub and the washing machine were really nice amenities, and the heated toilet seat sold us on the whole deal.The only real issues were the security light kept going on and off because it was motion sense and there wasn’t any way to stop that so every time we moved it went on. Also the TV was in a very difficult situation to be able to use given the layout of the room. And lastly, there was no sitting area or small couch. But we did have two large beds in the room and otherwise everything was absolutely stunningly perfect. ##### Michael Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lidija & Zoran 4 Jul 2024 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Cleanliness Very conveniently located walking distance to the old town and the shopping area. It is a decent size apartment for Japanese standards. What we didn't like was the darkness of the apartment. There is only 1 window very close to the next building. The kitchen is fully equipped but there is not a table or a chairs to sit on. Also there are not tea/coffee bags provided. The apartment is not serviced but that was expected. It feels like Airbnb accommodation. ##### Lidija & Zoran Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Victoria 8 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service VERY loud. Ground floor room. You hear constant noise from guest above you and on the side of you. You sleep when they go to sleep and you wake when they wake up. The place seemed great until 4 am the first morning when the upstairs guest woke up. It was jarring to say the least how there was no sound proofing and every step they took or every door they closed was a loud boom. We alerted the staff (which we never do) and they actually came in the room and heard the noise and agreed with us. By the time we went to confirm our move the next day (and packing up to do so) we were told we could not be moved. We looked at other places to move to but held out hope that it was just a loud guest. It was not the guest but the building itself. If you are given a ground floor room do not accept it unless you don’t mind a lot of noise. ##### Victoria Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHIH HUNG 18 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 環境佳、整體滿意、推薦。 ##### CHIH HUNG Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 15 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### God og rolig beliggenhed i flotte omgivelser Rigtigt godt hotel/lejlighed i et smukt og roligt område. Hotellet lå ud til en lille kanal, med piletræer. Der var flot og tæt på lå en overdækket butiks/spisegade, så man kunne gå i lå for regn og sol til metroen og busserne rundt i byen. Værelset havde to store og gode senge, med aircondition. Herudover var der køleskab, el-kedel, mikrooven samt kogeplade. Service var minimalt kun til 4 personer. Kun et bord med 2 stole, men kan rykkes rundt så 2 sidder på sengen (hvis man er familie på 4). Vaskemaskine samt badeværelse der kan fungere som tørreskab, perfekt når man er på rundrejse i Japan. ##### Peter Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tomonori 28 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness 価格のわりに部屋のインテリアが貧相でした。もう少しアレンジした方がコストパフォーマンスを感じられると思います。 ##### Tomonori Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Komako 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 高齢の両親がスムーズにチェックインできるように、速やか対応していただきました。5日間のステイ中、追加の人数が増えたので、追加料金値段メールも、速やかに対応していただきました。 ありがとうございました。 ##### Komako Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-Kyoto.h45895767.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyo-machiya Stay WAKA Fushimiinari-tei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyo-Machiya-Stay-WAKA-Fushimiinari-Tei.h12622986.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Gosho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Gosho.h27637350.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kadensho.h34491269.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Rihga Gran Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-GRAN-KYOTO.h38953457.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Richmond-Hotel-Premier-Kyoto-Ekimae.h37207574.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.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) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo.h4538458.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) > > [Cross Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-CROSS-HOTEL-KYOTO.h27026975.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Good Nature Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Good-Nature-Hotel-Kyoto.h37234951.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) > > [JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Via-Inn-Kyoto-Station-Hachijoguchi.h33382855.Hotel-Information) > > [Noku Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Noku-Kyoto.h12714915.Hotel-Information) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Granbell Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Granbell-Hotel.h18414583.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Asai Kyoto Shijo Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Asai-Kyoto-Shijo-Hotel.h93073540.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NOHGA-HOTEL-KIYOMIZU-KYOTO.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information)
