9/10 Wonderful! (44 reviews)
Staff were friendly and helpful - spoke Japanese to them and they replied in Japanese (unlike others who want to try practicing their English with foreigners).
Within walking distance to Dōtonbori and Amemura, but itself situated on a quieter road. Easy to get to train stations nearby.
Bed had a comfy mattress. Free refills of tea and coffee left in our room every day.
The room itself was a bit cramped though, with no space under the bed to store luggage.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (32 reviews)
I definitely enjoyed my at the Rinn Horikawa Gojo, the room was very spacious for three people and everything was very clean. The staff was also very nice, helpful, and English friendly. The hotel also provided us to do laundry, which is definitely a plus. The location of the hotel is very convenient, there is a bus stop right in front of the entrance and a 7/11 just a few minutes away by walking. This hotel was also close by other places we were interested in exploring. If I am back in Kyoto I think I will stay here again!

Get there by nine to get one of the limited tickets to go inside the palace, but you can always walk the grounds for free.
