"I stayed in Kyoto Hotel Okura 3 nights. Location was excellent. Close to everything. Walking distance to best spots in Kyoto. Rooms sizes compare to other hotels in Japan or specially in Europe are really big. Rooms have everything you can possibly need during your stay. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. I stayed in many hotels around the world four and five stars and never seen service like in this hotel. I would rate this hotel full five stars. For the price that i booked this hotel through agoda it was just unbelievable. I will recommend this hotel to everyone. "

"Just a quick review to say that my wife and I have just spent 3 weeks in Japan and stayed in many Ryokans and western style hotels (including the Keio Plaza Premier Grand in Tokyo which was pretty amazing too!) but the Cross Hotel in Kyoto was the best value by far. I can't speak highly enough of their courteous and attentive service, their delicious restaurant meals (we experienced both dinner and breakfast and both were great!), the cleanliness and quality of finish of all rooms/spaces and the location...wow, what a great location, close to key tourist attractions, fantastic restaurants, shopping, bus and subway stops. It's really got it all. Enjoy :)"

"We are 2 adults with an eight year old kid. We are pleased of the good location of the ryokan. It is in a quiet residental neighbourhood so it was nice to have a glimpse of a residential area away from the tourist site. The ryokan is near a metro station and buses to sight seing sitesby, about 5-10 minutes walking distance. From the 3 days that we were there we took only once the bus and walked most of the time e.g. we went to the Nijo castle, The Manga museum and back to the ryokan. If we return to Kyoto, we would consider renting bikes to visit Kyoto near by. The staff is very friendly and helpful to recommend us on the best way to visit the few places that we are interested in (which bus to take, etc.). The Ryokan is also organised in providing us a map of restaurants and places of interest. We found that it was very helpful even if we have not had the chance to try all the recommended places. The Japanese breakfast with salmon was excellent, we ended up choosing it over the continental and american breakfast for all the 3 days. If you are staying more than 3 days, perhaps you'll need some more variety in the choices (in the Japanese breakfast) but every time it was perfect. There is a washer and dryer with a small cost but you'll need to tell the staff to reserve it since there is only one in the building. Nearby there is a laundromat if you have many loads ( we travel very light with one suitcase to Kyoto - you learn quickly that traveling light to Japan is a very good idea). There is only one thing from our trip that could be improved and it is not of the ryokan's doing. It is about getting to the ryokan from the Kyoto station by taxi (we traveled to Kyoto by the bullet train from Tokyo). When we booked the ryokan, we have only the English name of the ryokan. I had printed the ryokan's location from google map, again all in English. So when we were taking the taxi, the driver could not figure out where exactly where it is (we did not rented Sim card so no int"

"Room is typical in size of Japan standards. But their twin room has a space for a coffee table and 3 chairs. Has TV, but no cable channel. Bathroom - tub, shower, heater, basic toiletries, hair dryer. For budget purposes, I may consider this place again. About 7 minute walk from Kyoto station. Kyoto charges accommodation tax in addition to the rate and will be charged by the front desk."

"Wonderful onsen for the price! I arrived early and left my bags with them which were waiting for me in my room when I came back to check in after sightseeing. although it's in a beautiful area and located across the street from a train station I gave it a satisfactory on the location since the train line that runs to it isn't from Kyoto station. There is another station with a train running from Kyoto station but it's a long walk with heavy luggage so I recommend a taxi from that station or one directly from Kyoto station which is what I did but be warned it's a hefty taxi fare. Other than that the food and baths were wonderful! They have 5 private baths on a first come first serve basis (so be prepared to wait a bit if you want those unless you go earlier in the evening). There is also a free hot and cold drink bar along with ice cream in the evening and probiotic drinks in the morning, as well as a massage parlor for an additional fee of course but the massage was excellent!

"Stayed 2 nights in mid Nov, booked the grand opening offer of twin room with breakfast at a good price. Pleasant surprised to be upgraded to Premium Twin. Newly opened in mid Oct 2019, hotel was at 5-minute walk from Omiya Station, rooms and facilities were sparkling clean. Complimentary drinks including coffee, tea and water was served at the 1st floor between the elevators and restaurant. Breakfast had a great variety of food & drink, tasty and elegant. Room we stayed was modern and spacious. However, door of the toilet was literally transparent with some white painted stripes, which could be a concern to guests. Other than that everything was perfect."

More about Kyoto

Where to Stay in Kyoto During Your Trip

Founded in 794, Kyoto was Japan's capital for over 1,000 years until Tokyo became the country's capital in 1868. Japan's now 8th largest city is a historical hub and a major tourist destination. Traditional Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, geisha, and festivals make the city a cultural center worth visiting.

Despite losing its capital city title to Tokyo, Kyoto remains historically significant, and there's a lot to do, learn, and see in this ancient city. If you plan to visit Japan, Kyoto should top the list of places to visit. The city hosts 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, local people are welcoming, and Kyoto hotels are excellent. One thing that visitors should never worry about is where to stay in Kyoto.

Kyoto has plenty of hotels for visitors to choose from. Whether a visitor is looking for 5-star hotels in Kyoto, family hotels in Kyoto, or even the best budget hotels in Kyoto, they can hardly exhaust the available options.

Best Budget Hotels in Kyoto

Some visitors will opt to live in cheap hotels in Kyoto and spend more of their travel budget shopping and exploring the city. Tourists who would love to live in a central location where they can easily access most parts of the city should consider Hotel Mystays Kyoto Shijo. It's budget-friendly and only a few minutes to the Shijo Subway Station. It's also one of the many hotels near Nishiki Market Kyoto, where visitors can get their fresh farm produce.

Hotels near Kyoto station are convenient for visitors looking to explore different parts of the city. Right in front of the Kyoto station is the Kyoto Tower, which houses the Kyoto Tower Hotel, an affordable 3-star hotel in Kyoto. Atop the needle-shaped tower, guests have an unobstructed panoramic view of the city.

Visitors can also look into other cheap hotels in Kyoto, such as Enzo Kyoto Gojo, Ariston Hotel Kyoto Jujo, Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo, and Kiraku Inn Kyoto.

Kyoto Luxury Hotels

In the Higashiyama Ward, to the east of Kyoto, is the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, one of the best luxury hotels in Kyoto. The Higashiyama district boasts many famous tourist attractions and is the best place to experience Japanese culture first-hand.

The Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is a favorite spot for many tourists, located about three miles from Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto. The shrine honors Inari, the deity of rice. Inari is also the god of prosperity, sake, tea, and agriculture. Tradesmen and merchants worship him as he's responsible for success in business, finance, and other areas. Business people and companies have donated thousands of torii gates as a thanksgiving for their prosperity.

Besides walking through the many gates in the shrine and admiring the surroundings, visitors can hike Inari Mountain. It's undoubtedly one of the best free things to do in Kyoto. Guests living in the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto can also explore the Kiyomizu-Dera Temple and the Bamboo Forest, which are close by.

Aman Kyoto, The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto, Arashiyama Benkei, and Ryokan Genhouin are also great options for travelers looking for the best luxury hotels in Kyoto.

Kyoto Ryokan

One of Japan's most common leisure activities is taking an outdoor bath in an onsen (natural hot springs). There are various onsens in Kyoto, and the Kurama Onsen is the most famous one. Kurama Onsen is a modern ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) located about an hour from Kyoto urban area in the serene Kurama village. Visitors yearning to soak in nature and sleep on a futon will fall in love with this Kyoto ryokan. For those seeking the best Kyoto ryokan with a private onsen, the Kurama onsen has them covered. Outdoor baths are also available for guests who would love to bathe in the onsen while enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Tourists looking for a luxury ryokan in Kyoto can look into the Tawaraya Ryokan, the oldest of its kind in Kyoto, located in Nakagyo Ward. The Tawaraya Ryokan fully embraces the Japanese tradition with its floors covered in tatami mats. From the ryokan, guests can take a short walk to the Kyoto International Manga Museum, Ponto-Cho, and the Nishiki Market.

Gion Kyoto Hotels

If you have only read about geishas in books and desire to see one in real life, the Gion District in Kyoto is the perfect place to find them. Geishas (or geiko as they are referred to locally) are famous and highly idolized female entertainers in Japan, and you'll easily spot them due to their elaborate makeup.

Although they are usually very busy, perhaps rushing to attend a show, visitors to Kyoto might be lucky enough to spot one who's willing to pause for a selfie. Visitors can also learn about geisha's traditions and watch them perform live at a tea party.

For visitors interested in learning more about the geisha culture, a better idea would be to stay at one of the hotels in Kyoto's Gion District. In Gion, visitors can choose from extremely cheap hotels in Kyoto or, at the other end of the spectrum, Kyoto luxury hotels that cost up to $800.

Rinn Gion Yasaka is a perfect hotel for visitors who would love to stay near the bus station and easily access the Kiyomizu-Dera Temple. The hotel is located about 0.6 miles from the famous temple. The temple is not only a spectacular sight to behold, but visitors can also drink sacred water at the Otowa Spring. Behind the temple's main hall is the Jishu Shrine -- a love shrine believed to bring true love if tourists successfully navigate between the two stones in front of the shrine with their eyes closed.

Other quality hotels in Gion that travelers can consider include Yoin Hotel Kyoto Gion, Zizi, and Hotel Alza Kyoto.
