“Everything here is beyond my expectation. First, the host is a beautiful lady with good manners and her bright smiles eliminated our fatigue when we arrived. Second, the host was really warmhearted. She helped us find lovely guest house after knowing we had problem finding an affordable and suitable accommodation (we cannot live in her place cuz it's full). To our sensation,she drives us to the guesthouse and helped convey the luggages. She is so nice that makes me more love this place. Last but not least, the environment was quiet, comfortable and cozy. As is shown in the photos, we spent an excellent time here. Located near Saiin Station, the hotel is easy to find and the transportation is very convenient. I rated 10, because I cannot rate ONE HUNDRED! I will definitely re-reserve this hotel if i have another chance to travel in Kyoto. Review from one of my friends:I think I meet a very nice hostel. the hostess can speak very good english. she is very beautiful and have a charming smile. the host can cook very delicious food. In fact, we had some trouble with our first-ordered house so we temporarily ordered their hotel. they are willing to help us. 店主人超级好,我们找不到合适的住所了,她还帮我们找了一个便宜又好的guesthouse。店主夫妇超级可爱!很温馨的住所!强烈推荐!”

“The proprietoress was a perfect person to run a guest house. Helpful, happy, engaging. She was delighted our son spoke Japanese and they got on like a house on fire. She told him his Japanese was very good. To which he replied, But yours is better! And they both roared with laughter. Staying in a genuine Ryokan has been the accommodation highlight of our trip. So much better than the hotel boxes we have otherwise been in. The shared shower facilities, bathrooms and 60 degree pitch staircase just added to the adventure and use arrangements worked fine. The bedroom was more than sufficiently large easily fitting, in our case three futons. The air conditioner had been turned on in advance making our room a cool haven from the mid 30s temperature outside. Plenty of dining of many varieties just down the street in all directions. Excuse our mess in the photos.”

“Adults only.... Beyond your wildest expectations. Location is crap (unless you are driving, although you can get there by train, but is about 1 mile away from the train station). This is not a room - it's a kind of apartment with ...soundproofing. Massive TV screen on the wall (100"?) full of HD porn, massive bed with a vibrator next to it (don't worry, condom for it included):) You can buy uniforms to dress your lady up as well as your own vibrator (I believe all available at reception, delivered to your room through a hatched door (to respect you privacy)). Breakfast served to the room, at specific hour (pre-ordered), through the same compartment by the main door. In the room you can also buy lubricants, 'viagra' or ladies panties (used????) - there is some kind of automated vending machine there. Bathroom with a huge jacuzzi bath and a TV screen with (yes, you guessed it!) porn. You will be shocked or you will take the full advantage of this set up. One thing is certain - ladies take the panties off the minute they realise where they are. Very clean!”

Those who want to experience ancient Japan, can find it at the 450 years old Heihachi Tea House Inn, a 5-minute walk from Shugakuin Station.
“The Heihachi Tea House is a beautiful place. Once entered the very old gate (400 years old) you forget about stress and noises and everything modern. We were welcomed by the owner at our arrival and we had always very kind people taking care about us, giving us welcome tea and rice cake and teaching how to wear the yukata. Rituals and tradition are everywhere here. You should definitely not leave without going to the hot spring and strolling into the garden. Included in our stay we had the kaiseki dinner, one of the best expressions of Kyoto's heute Cuisine. We got a 2 hours long dinner when we had every kind of typical japanese food which was explained and beautifully introduced by our attendants. In the meantime the futons were prepared in our room and we had a great night with our sleeping accompanied by the pleasent sound of the river next to our room. It is an experience that everyone should do. Abut more pratical issues, the place can be reached with bus 17 which starts from C3 bay at Kyoto main station and it takes approximately 30 min and by taxi is almost the same time. The bus stop in both directions is just in front of the entrance and is called Heihachi-mae. To be sure about that pass by at the info center at Kyoto's train station, people there are lovely helpful.”

“Most probably our most pleasantly surprising hotel during our entire stay. As a first time comer in Japan, this is our first experience of a love hotel so be mindful I have nothing to compare it with and don't know if this is just the standard for love hotels. -the rooms are super super spacious! -lots of amenities incl everything you could think of really. Hair/skin/bath products, even hair styling tools ie hair straighteners and curlers! Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and 'love needs' such as condoms and others -a large spa bath tub which had led lights and jet sprays hehe -before we booked, some research we stumbled across says the receptionist sometimes won't really talk to you or look at you. Our guy receptionist was super friendly and spoke a good amount of English. -English movie channel on the TV for free -7 eleven is less than 10 minutes walk away and we were able to see a family mart from our hotel window”

A 5-minute walk from the Kenryukomae Bus Stop, Guest House Kingyoya provides traditional-style accommodations. Tea is served for free in the common room.
“Guest House Kingyoya was the cherry on the top of our stay in Kyoto. Recommended by a friend of us, we wanted to experience a traditional and typical Japanese style Guest House. It was exactly what we got: A traditional house with tatami floors and beautiful decoration inside the rooms. Our deluxe room consisted of a living room, small bedroom leading to the balcony, lots of lovely little details and very comfortable futon beds. The toilets and showers are outside, just next to a little garden on the patio. The first day we followed the recommendations on the map and tried out some cafes and restaurants. The bakery which we tried offered fantastic breakfast and we enjoyed very authentic ramen in the evening. The second day we enjoyed the traditional breakfast in the hotel, which costs extra but shouldn't be missed out. On top of everything, the staff was very friendly and helpful.”

Offering accommodation with air conditioning, Parkside Umekoji - Guest House In Kyoto is located in Kyoto, 2.6 km from Kyoto International Manga Museum. Nijo Castle is 2.8 km away.
“This place is great. Basic but very comfortable, spacious, spotlessly clean, and a great location from which to see the sights of Kyoto. 15 minute walk to train station. Great bus transport links right in front of the building and just around the corner. Fab value for money- I didn't even realise until I got there that it was essentially a self-contained studio flat- with a little kitchenette, fridge, microwave, and even my own little washing machine! Strong wifi signal, and for those travelling without devices there was even a desktop computer in the room. Would absolutely stay here again and would recommend to anyone.”

Across the narrow road from a pretty little stream. Good value for money.”

Awarded 4 red pavilions by the Michelin Guide for 2 consecutive years, Kizashi The Suite offers luxury accommodation right in downtown area Gion.
“The suite was both large and absolutely stunning. The staff were fantastically helpful and friendly, even giving me a selection of skincare products on arrival to use during our stay. We were lucky enough to be upgraded free of charge, so we had a massive jacuzzi bath and the suite itself was the size of an apartment. There was a free minibar, coffee machine and other bits and pieces in the suite, along with a selection of breads and newspapers for each morning and fresh dressing gowns and pyjamas everyday (coming from England, these were very welcomed creature comforts!). The location was excellent: very close to plenty of shrines, temples and shops, as well as the area to see Geishas (or Geiko and Maiko, as they are called in Kyoto) if you are lucky or, as we did, pre-book an event where you can have a dinner and meet them properly. The area seemed to have something for everyone and the staff at the hotel were more than happy to provide advice about it. We would highly recommend staying here and would certainly stay here again if we return to Kyoto.”

Opened in April 2017, Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier is set in Kyoto, 400 metres from Samurai Kembu Kyoto and 1 km from Kyoto International Manga Museum.
“The Solaria Nishihetsu Hotel in Kyoto was a wonderful stay for me and my wife. The Hotel is situated 3-4 minutes away from Sanjo metro station, along the Kamo River. During the evening, just stepping out of the hotel and then walking down the river or one of it's canals, you will find lots of nice restaurants (traditional Japanese but also western) and bars where you can spend quality time with the people you are travelling with. The hotel is also reasonably close (10 minutes' walk) to the Gion neighborhood, famous for its Geishas - if you are lucky, you might still spot one, as we did. Be careful though, it's also packed with other tourists looking for the geishas. The room we had was very large and the most impressive thing of all is the bathroom. There is just a glass wall which separates the sleeping area and the bathtub. Also, the view from the bathtub to the outside is spectacular (interior courtyard of the hotel with a decorated wall made to look like a garden), due to the very big windowpane. The internet connection is very good. The staff are polite, always willing to help and speak good English. In the hotel you can find a traditional Japanese public bath - very relaxing. Overall, great value for money and a very nicely decorated place! Would definitely come back!”

“The staff was very friendly, the room had everything young (student) tourists need when just being there for sleeping. For little money we got everything essential. If one doesn't have a problem with thin walls then the hostel is perfect. It's small but nice. The interesting architecture of the small building was extraordinary, but quite common for that part of Kyoto. Narrow steep staircase, narrow corridors through which you get to the second shower, the restrooms and a little garden. If there is not much space in a big city like Kyoto with so many residents then the houses have to be small in width but therefore longer to the back. Strangers from all over the world get together and have a good time while hanging out in the little common room (there is also the reception). The staff informed us about important bus lines and directions and was very nice to talk to (they speak English as well). We got free hot water for tea (which was also free), free milk and Japanese tea. We could use the crockery in the kitchen and the fridge to store our self bought food in there. If available you can rent a bike for one day for 500 Yen. Besides the cute hostel Kyoto has a lot to show: Temples, shrines, the Gion quarter, a huge area with great souvenir shops and restaurants (in the town district Higashiyama), the Bamboo Grove in Arashiyama and the famous Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine as well as the Kyomizu-dera temple with a great view over Kyoto. Really recommendable!!!”

“We were incredibly satisfied with our stay and would highly recommend Yadoya Nishijinso to anyone! The owners were amazingly friendly and helpful. For example - each day, at the time of our choosing, they offered to prepare one of their public baths for our private use. This allowed us (as a mixed-gender couple) to bathe together, which we could almost never do elsewhere. As another example, we asked for their help with a challenging restaurant reservation. Not only did they get us a table at very short notice, they immediately called a taxi and provided full instructions to the driver, ensuring that we arrived in time. As a third example, they were able to lend us bicycles, and we had a great day exploring Kyoto in the sunshine. Furthermore, our room was spacious and attractive. we slept incredibly well in the comfortable futon bedding. The location was excellent - close to public transportation and several key sights. Many thanks to Yadoya Nishijinso for a fantastic stay in Kyoto!”

I stayed in the Japanese Style Room with Shared Bathroom - as other reviews have mentioned, it is right by the common areas. But I did not find this to be an issue during my stay. Room was spacious, comfortable & the air con was a nice addition. It's located in a residential area, giving it a genuine Japan feel. Approx 10 - 15min walk from Kyoto Station.

“This is the perfect accommodation for a longer stay in Kyoto (more than a couple of days). We loved the modern, clean feel of this wonderful, spacious apartment! There is a deep, quiet sense of privacy and freedom here that you just don't get with a hotel. We enjoyed walking to the nearby grocery store and making our own dinners and breakfasts on our own time schedule. We very much loved the cleaning service every day that took care of the dishes while we were out having adventures! Knowing that we could call the concierge if we needed help was really comforting, too. Finally, the location was easy walking distance to two train stations, for exploring Kyoto in many directions.”
