2 Hotel Resol Kyoto Shijo Muromachi

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!
3 Kyokoyado Muromachi Yutone 京小宿 室町 ゆとね

The room was big with high ceiling. The garden was pretty and well kept. The breakfast was very good. Staff were very sweet - letting us stay past check out time at a lounge to work for an hour - good nespresso machine and nice tea selection. The location is also very central. The only thing is it was not cheap on a regular Wednesday but everything else was perfect.

Nice place for your trip at kyoto.
Room are clean and the staffs are friendly. The hotel is in central of kyoto so you can travel easily.
5 Toshiharu Ryokan

Easily the best Hotel I have ever stayed in. Staying at a Ryokan has been on my bucket list for years. After having paid quite some money for the room my expectations were high. But never did I expect how amazing the experience would be: The room was just beautiful, straight out of a anime or traditional video game like Fatal Frams or Shenmue. The beds are soft and comfy, the garden view just beautiful, the Japanese was so tasty and big. But what made the stay really special was the amazing staff/family. Everyone was so so incredibly nice, made us feel at home, made us great tea and Wagashi, carried our luggage, always had a smile on their faces.
The Japanese breakfast was sooo delicious and they brought so much food, with dishes varying from day to day.
Just book this Ryokan, you will certainly not regret it ;)
The Hotel itself is really close to two subway stations, but we just walked everywhere as it is so close to many attractions.
Thanks for making my Ryokan dream come true ;)

6 R.STAR HOSTEL KYOTO JAPAN



images
By far one of the best hostels I've stayed in - the cleanliness and interior was reminiscent of a 4-star hotel! Location was great, staff were friendly, and absolutely no complaints. It was definitely a highlight on my first trip to Japan late 2019.
7 Urbain Kyoto Shijo Omiya

This hotel was such a pleasant surprise! The room was clean, modern and offered everything one could need. Unlike many hotels in Japan the windows in the rooms open and you can get some fresh air into the room whenever you want. The breakfast buffet was exceptional! I never imagined to have such an amazing breakfast every day. There are free laundry machines and driers on the 2nd floor and you only need to pay 50 yen for the laundry detergent. There's also a small public bath on the 2nd floor which is enough for 3 people.
It's located very close to 2 train stations and plenty of buses stop next to it making traveling in Kyoto a breeze. Many restaurants around and also supermarkets. They offer free rental umbrellas and overall the staff made me feel super welcome.

Definitely recommend this place :)
10 ORIENTAL HOTEL KYOTO ROKUJO

2020, August 10
I stayed here for just a one day trip to Kyoto. It was a nice and cheap hotel. The lobby was so cool. The staffs were friendly. The hotel is a little bit far away from Kyoto station but you can easily go there by bus or taxi. It only cost 230 yen for bus and around 700 yen for taxi(Didi).
I booked a room with a breakfast and I got a Japanese breakfast. It was good to eat rice and soup but I actually prefer a scrambled eggs :) but since their hospitality is great I can’t give them like even 4 stars.
11 Karasuma Rokujo Hotel



images
Very quiet and serene. The rooms are very clean and as a solo traveler I even had the chance to get a veranda and a nice view. Would love to come back.
