"The open-air private onsen in our room was the absolute best! The food was like artwork. The surrounding area was so beautiful. If you have any mobility issues, make sure you call for a pick-up from the bus stop, as it is an uphill hike to get to the ryokan. Also there are steep stairs inside."

"The hiking above Mii Dera temple was amazing. A lot of hiking options for outdoor enthusiasts. The Mii Dera temple is also not crowded and a joy to stroll around 20 minutes walk from hotel koo. "

"This hotel is the perfect serene escape from the bustle of Kyoto city. The staff are incredible, all spoke English and were so helpful and really made us feel welcomed and cared for the whole time. The included drinks are delightful and we were able to sample the full tea selection as well as several alcoholic beverages even during our dinner- which I would also highly recommend booking!"

The Boston Hotel is literally steps just outside the JR Kusatsu train station. If traveling by train, the convenience really can't be beat.
The room was very clean and well maintained, though small as with many Japanese rooms. Only 2 people can fit so we had 2 rooms for a family of 4 and it worked great. There were slippers and a sleeping gown to freely use and the selection of toiletries was surprisingly robust.
The service was exceptional as we had no trouble speaking with the lobby...

I cannot say enough good things about the Hotel Okura Kyoto Okazaki Bettei. First, it was luxurious, new, clean, well staffed and convenient to all of Kyoto sightseeing. Second, the intimate luxury accomodations were neither too small or too large. We got to know all personnel by name. Management was very chill and accommodated our every request. Third, our room's amenities were top notch and no detail was overlooked. We particularly enjoyed the confortable bedding and oversized TV with Netflix...

The NEST at Nishiki is both a new and an exceptional property. The rooms were spotless and functional, the staff was extremely attentive, and the location was just perfect--steps from the Nishiki Market and the Gion district. Yet the single most outstanding feature of the NEST at Nishiki is its manager, Ms. Chie Nakamura. She is professional, knowledgeable, a top-notch hotelier, and a wonderful person. This hotel is a reflection of its manager. ありがとうございました.

Helpful staff, tea and snacks upon arrival was a welcoming touch. Places to eat nearby. Train stations in different directions nearby. Loved the washer/dryer in the room! Will definitely stay here again!

This hotel is fabulous. The rooms are stylish and the location could not be better. It is right next to a subway station and an easy trip from Kyoto station. The breakfast is tasty with many choices. The rooms are a little on the small side for Americans...we are from New York City so pretty typical for NYC standards. Would 100% stay here again. Five star for food, design, location, and service.

This hotel is perfectly situated- it is an easy walk from the Sanjo station and it’s embedded within the ultra-beautiful Gion district. The hotel staff are English-fluent, ready-and-waiting to answer questions, give directions, and make recommendations. Our rooms (we had two and stayed for three nights) were aesthetically lovely and spotless. Our shower was pristine and modern, though I regretted not booking a room with a soaking tub. Breakfast was in keeping with our overall experience:...

I had a great stay at THE GATE Hotel in Kyoto! The property is modern, clean, and well-maintained. One of the highlights is definitely the top floor, where the reception and bar are located—it offers a stunning panoramic view of the city, especially at sunset. The location is super convenient, just a short walk from the train station and close to several local attractions, which made it easy to explore Kyoto. Overall, a comfortable and stylish place to stay. I’d definitely come back!

This is a modern hotel in a great location, located on top of a subway station only 4 stops without transfer from Kyoto Station. The subway and bus options are very convenient. There are many restaurants and cafes within walking distance and of course several Seven's and a nice grocery store nearby. The beds are comfortably and the Nespresso machines were great.
Check-in was easy and the staff is extremely helpful and courteous.
Special gratitude goes to the staff and management, who...

Excellent property and staff. The afternoon sweets and cocktails should not be missed. Note, they stop admitting people about 30 minutes before closing time so give yourself some extra time.
