"Our stay at the Green Rich was very pleasant. I rated the food 3 but I wish there was an option such as "not applicable" since we did not eat there at all. Breakfast started to be served at 7 am and usually we were out at 6:30 since there were so many thing to do and see in Kyoto! I wish the hotel had an option of not having bed sheets and towels changed every day other than leaving the do not disturb sign at the door. We really do not need clean sheets and towels every day, but because the trash cans were small we needed the garbage to be emptied every day, since we ate breakfast in the room every morning before going out. About 10-15 minutes walk from Kyoto Station depending on how fast you walk, but we had our day passes and we always got the bus back to the hotel after a long day walking in the city. There is a but stop half block away from the hotel, and to go to Kyoto Station, just get the bus across the street. (Purchase day pass when in Kyoto if you are visiting several attraction on the same day. The pass is ¥500 with unlimited travel on the day, but you can easily spend ¥1000 if you go to 4 different places) I would definitely stay there again. BTW it was the best business hotel we stayed from the other 2 we stayed in Japan during this trip."

"We stayed at the Sakura Terrace Hotel in Kyoto during the busy last week of November 2013. We paid US$160 per night, without breakfast, but it should be about half that during off-peak periods. The hotel opened in October 2013. It is conveniently located one subway stop south of Kyoto station, with the Kujo station exit right in front of the hotel entrance. Alternatively, it is a six minute walk from the east exit of Kyoto station. The room is 18 sq metres, and has a decently sized attached bathroom/toilet. Comfortable bed and strong flow of hot water in the bathroom. Free wifi, fridge and hot water boiler in the room. Our room was just next to the lift, but there was no noise. Split unit aircon for cooling or heating, but, unfortunately, very limited English language TV. Free washing machine and dryer located on the 4th Floor. Bar and breakfast room on the ground floor. Pleasant English speaking staff at reception. Only smoking room was available at time of booking, but the reception staff managed to switch it to a non-smoking room. Overall, I would rate the hotel as a 4-star, even though it does not have any restaurant or room service within the hotel. (Visitors have lots of food options at the restaurants nearby the hotel or at Kyoto station.) We will definitely stay there again when we are next in Kyoto. "

"Best hostel per budget so far I’ve been to in Japan. You get fridges to store food, kitchen to cook, coin laundry and locker to store small valuables. Downstairs is a cafe where you can eat all day, Nepali chicken curry is very good. Note that you make your own bed. For access, take Keihan train to Kiyomizu-Gojo station and walk here, or JR train to Kyoto station and take the bus 86, 100 202, 207 to Gojozaka bus stop. The hostel is near Gion area and the entrance pathway to Kiyomizu temple. Other attractions are easily reached by bus and I suggest buying 600 yen one day bus pass from the hostel staff if you will ride the bus at least three times in one day, except for Fushimi Inari which is much easier to get to by train. For food, head left towards Gion direction for about 300 metres, there’s a 24 hr Fresco supermarket which sells much cheaper stuff than convenient stores."

"Hotel was pretty basic but very clean, sheets were daily changed, breakfast was boring but comprehensible for non-Japanese tourists, location seemed to be somewhere "in the wild" but you soon learned the advantage to be quite nearby a railway station (Enmachi), just 12 minutes from Kyoto Central station and with excellent bus connections to all important points of interest in Kyoto, plenty of little good restaurants within minutes walk from hotel, space... well space made you realize that your dream came true - you finally reached Japan and integrated in its cramped space..."

"The hotel is very close to Kyoto station. The value for money is excellent here. However, you should expect the self-service (maybe that's how they keep operation costs low) - staff are not always there for you to ask questions. Also note that the hotel does not keep luggage after you check out, so you need to plan for the day wisely without the need to carry heavy luggage with you if you are still around for the rest of the check-out day."
