The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was beautiful and well maintained. The whole hotel was very clean as well as the rooms. Breakfast buffet was amazing with choices for a Western or traditional Japanese breakfast. I would have given the hotel 5 stars except we wish they had more amenities like coffee maker in the room and more drawers and closet space for clothes.

The hotel was in a very good location, 15mins (ish) walk to Kyoto station & around 5mins to the local train station. The bus stop is also close to the hotel with 7/11 and other local restaurants and cafe in walkable distance. The staff were super lovely and there is a lounge with free drinks to chill in before you go to your room. Our room was nice and spacious and mixture of Western and Japanese theme so it’s relaxing to stay in as well.

Awesome, quiet spot to have a westernized version of a ryokan stay! It has all the amenities I would want at a hotel - open lounge, safe, in room fridge, etc. The staff were lovely when we came in and helped us with all our questions. We loved our room, peaceful and quiet. Very much a small home away from home. It’s worth it to get the soaking tub rooms, it was an excellent experience

We loved our stay at Hotel Kanra Kyoto. We first stayed here in 2014 and so this was our second visit. We were impressed in 2014, and we were even more impressed on our recent visit! The hotel is beautiful. Very Zen-like and you feel like a VIP guest as soon as you walk in. Excellent customer service, excellent rooms, excellent everything! We will definitely be back here on a future trip! Thank you to the wonderful staff at Hotel Kanra!
