1 Ace Hotel Kyoto

Ace Hotel Kyoto is a fantastic hotel. They accept pets, and that's not easy to find here in Japan. I really wish other hotels all over the country will follow suit. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly all the time, when we left, we were already planning out next visit to Kyoto and Ace.
2 MIMARU KYOTO SHINMACHI SANJO

Fantastic place to stay for any family. The staff are excellent, the location is very convenient and the rooms can't be beat!
3 TSUGU 京都三条 by THE SHARE HOTELS



images
This is a fine hotel with comfortable, well-furnished rooms and with quality breakfast available. It is well-located in the centre of Kyoto's boutique-y shopping district (Paul Smith, Aesop etc.). It is, basically, a good hotel. It does however exhibit a few of the problems that plague Japan's newer hotels for the well-to-do hipster set, namely a tendency to overdo things and a focus on image over practicality. We visited with an 18-month-old. We were not the only guests with young children, probably because this hotel is for some reason marketed on some sites as family-friendly. I suppose it may be, or at least no less so than most Japanese hotels, but it is not necessarily friendly for families with young children. For example, the breakfast area is located just past the front desk, down a very short set of stairs, meaning it was necessary to lift a pram down. For another, the front entrance is a big, very attractive set of metal doors. They are also very heavy, which makes getting in with a pram and/or luggage difficult. These are small issues but display a slight lack of thought when it comes to practicality, but again I don't think practicality is the point - the hotel wants to be stylish and cool, and to that end largely succeeds.
4 Mitsui Garden Hotel Shinmachi Bettei



images
Big thumbs up to the staff who were at all time extremely courteous and helpfull at all times! The installations were also quite nice, very beautiful... including the location who is close to so many things on top of being on a cute street!
Definitely recommend this place :)
5 Cartahotel Kyotobettei

The rooms are very clean and have just been renovated. The beds are very comfortable. Staff are friendly and can speak English well. Great location near the subway and tourist spots. Recommended for travellers who want to go sightseeing and get a good rest. I will stay here again!
6 HOTEL VISTA PREMIO KYOTO Nagomitei



images
I really love this hotel, so quiet and comfy. Good service and facility.
7 Miru Kyoto Nishiki



images
Great location, clean and comfortable - but the best thing about Miru is undoubtedly their friendly and helpful staff. Yoshimi, Chie, Sachiyo and Keita were absolutely lovely and always game for a good chat! They all spoke excellent English as well so we never had to struggle with anything with our limited Japanese language ability. We'll definitely stay with Miru again the next time we're in Kyoto.
8 Kyoto Kamanza Hotel



images
We had a wonderful experience at Kyoto Kamanza Hotel. It was spotlessly clean and Sam is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Although the hotel doesn’t serve breakfast, there is a cafe that is steps away with very well priced breakfast and excellent coffee, at the recommendation of Sam. Our room came with any bathroom product we could possible want or need and an excellent hair dryer that I want to buy for my own house! Each bed came with pajamas and the beds were very comfortable. Our room was spacious. The location is walkable to the Gion district, shrines, Nijo castle, and temples, as well as plenty of restaurants. The bus stop was a short walk and we took a cab from the train station.
We would stay here again and will recommend Kyoto Kamanza Hotel to others.
9 Tawaraya Ryokan



images
If you wanna make a reservation from this page, the website "Zenhotels" shows is not Tawaraya Ryokan. That is "Tawara-An" careful...(2020-09-01)
10 THE MILLENNIALS KYOTO



images
I visited the Millennials in Jan 2020 for solo trip and stayed about 3 nights. This capsule hotel locates in a very convenient place. It fulfilled my dream that I wanted to stay in a place with modern style, friendly staff and security. It's different from traditional capsule hotel, you could enjoy large space and high tech!
I couldn't describe this hotel merely by words, just go there and experience by yourself. Will definitely go back after the pandemic!
11 Nazuna Kyoto Nijo-jo (Cha no Yado Nazuna Nijo-tei)



images
Was a memorable stay at Nazuna! Friendly, attentive and excellent service from the staff! Rooms were clean and huge, was a amazing experience if you are looking to stay in a Ryokan!
12 Cross Hotel Kyoto



images
Amazing hotel located in the center of Kyoto. Well equiped luxery rooms. Polite an helpful staff. We were very happy to have chosen for Cross hotel in Kyoto.
13 Hotel Resol Kyoto Shijo Muromachi



images
Spent two days here. The hotel seems like it’s pretty new. The rooms are great and very clean (a bit small but it’s expected in japan). The staff is incredible and well versed in English. There is a great coffee machine in the lobby. Close to public transportation and plenty of restaurants. Highly recommended!
