The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto
4.7/546 Reviews

The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto

Kyoto|0.46km from Shimohonnōjimaechō, 522−1
This Ritz-Carlton location sitting on Kamogawa and Hagashiyama mountains, is one of the best locations to stay in Kyoto. The architecture is gorgeous on every level as you enter the hotel. You feel transported to a particular place that you will never forget. In addition, the quality of service the Ladies and Gentlemen provides goes above and beyond any other Ritz-Carlton location. Staying at the Kamogawa Executive Suite was an unforgettable experience. Approximately 1350 sq. ft., the suite provides luxury accommodations that exceed the highest expectations of any guest. The bathroom is gorgeous, especially the bathtub, where the wall and bathtub are decorated with sakura flowers. The bed is comfortable, and the living room is quite spacious. One thing I would have loved to see inside this room is a Genkan to place shoes as you enter the suite. Preserving the floor and rug is necessary and educates foreign guests about the importance of doing this. Another aspect that I loved about this place was Mizuki. Every morning I visited it for a Japanese-style breakfast, and it was a fantastic experience. In addition, I went to one of their sushi demonstrations and felt that I had a lifetime supply of sushi. Every bite was delicious, and the chef went above and beyond to make every guest feel special. Please make reservations for kaiseki, tempura, teppanyaki, and of course, sushi during your stay in advance. The spa is also a must if you are staying in this location. It is one of my most relaxing experiences, and the facilities are excellent. As you enter the spa, all the details regarding the walk to the counter or attendant, the changing room, and the pool area are planned quite well, so the guest can feel extra special and disconnected from reality. Finally, I must recognize the Ladies and Gentlemen's hard work and dedication at the Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto. Thank Ana and Naoto, for your friendly welcome to the hotel and making things possible during my stay. Chef Tomohiro Goda and his team provided an experience I will never forget at Mizuki. Naoki was friendly and helpful as I researched information. Pablo and Thain were attentive to my needs as I left the hotel and provided a great experience as I checked out. Special thanks to Carlos for leading such a fantastic Ritz-Carlton property in Japan and consideration prior to my stay. This is one of the top Ritz-Carlton properties I have stayed in, out of 25 Ritz-Carlton. I will cherish all the memories that I gained from this place and will make sure to come back in the future.

Resi Stay Nishijin
4.3/513 Reviews

Resi Stay Nishijin

Kyoto Gosyo/Karasuma Kyoto|2.93km from Shimohonnōjimaechō, 522−1
We had mixed reviews of this accomodation Pros - was a very large room two small doubles and a bunk perfect for families. Amenities are great with wifi, lots of kitchen utensils, stove, tea and coffee supplied, toothbrushes available, washing machine and tablets are provided with an inbuilt dryer system in the bathroom. Bathroom and shower area was also spacious. Beds are on the okay side but could be softer. The area itself is nice and quiet with a bus stop right out from we utilised every day, supermarket and Lawsons are across the road and you feel very safe. Would recommend for families. Cons - check in is in a different location 20minute taxi away so we had to catch a train to the check in office when arriving in Kyoto from Osaka, then a taxi to the accomodation after this which chewed up a few hours as we had to wait 45min in addition to check in due to busyness of the office. The area is a bit out of the way of everything next time I might consider staying at a different resi stay location closer to sights and facilities like shops etc. All the restaurants in the area seem to not open for breakfast until 11am so we had to have McDonald’s if we didn’t want to cook or travel too far for breakfast as we have a toddler (early riser). Same occurred at dinner time a lot of restaurants didn’t seem to be open the Monday or Tuesday we were there or opened too late for us (we travelled with a four year old). Our last disappointment was resi stay apparently have a strict not noise at night policy however another room partied until about 3am but there is no front desk or after hours phone number to call to complain / get the noise to stop. Was very frustrating as walls were very thin so we didn’t sleep very well. Overall we would stay with Resi Stay again but at another location due to Nishijin being a bit too out of the way for us.

Travelodge Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi
4.5/5616 Reviews
Best location hotel so far. Located between two subway station. Center of kyoto shopping street. Nice and clean facilities. I like the view from our room this was surplus. Will definitely come back to stay here again.
UNIZO INN Kyoto Kawaramachi Shijo
4.4/577 Reviews
Located in Shijo Kawaramachi, an arcade, you can go without getting wet in the rain! The building is new and clean. Amenity goods are also available at a minimum, so it's good. The front desk is always called with a bell because there are no people. Are you adjusting the number of people due to the corona disaster?
Piece Hostel Sanjo
4.5/542 Reviews
After mistakenly going to the other ”Piece Hostel” (the one near the Kyoto Station) where I thought I had booked, I took the subway over to Sanjo. The location is great, in the midst of all the action in restaurants, bars, etc. It is a bit of a hike from the subway, but not too bad. Rooms are small but comfortable and the hostel has a tremendous amount of place for hanging around and a well equipped kitchen. The staff was terrific. Best of all was Oytun, a young man from Turkey who, in 4 years in Japan, has become fluent in Japanese and English. He was extraordinary. Always willing to help with anything and make valuable suggestions. He made the stay a real joy.
Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo
4.5/5259 Reviews
Hotel asked to pay accommodation tax upon checking in and insist it is required for all Kyoto hotel showing us two brochures. This is not the first hotel I stayed in Kyoto during this period as i stayed 2 different hotels in Kyoto during this trip, but this is the only hotel that asked to pay for a fee. Though fee is not huge, advise travellers to check clearly before booking. Location is not bad and alot of shops around it but do note car cannot be stopped directly in front of hotel as car could not enter the street as its all shops around it.
Hotel Gran Ms Kyoto
4.4/5146 Reviews
The service was really nice and supporting. When we wanted to check-in, they noticed we are foreigners so they immediately ask the English speaker co-worker to help us so we had no troubles during stay. Location is really convenient, near the Nishiki Market and train station.
OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo by Hoshino Resorts
4.3/549 Reviews
Room facilities are in Nordic minimalist style and newly renovated. The key is that the room is not square. The bed is facing the bathroom, and the TV is on the left side of the bathroom door. You can't watch it directly. It feels weird. There is a temple on the inner side, guarding a group of cemeteries. If you are concerned, please avoid it. For breakfast, you can choose one of the five baked rice dishes, and the others are salad, soup, yogurt and beverage coffee. If you stay for several days, it is not recommended to include breakfast. It would be too monotonous to have the same breakfast every day.
