Piece Hostel Kyoto, hotel in Kyoto

Opened in April 2013 with brand new facilities, Piece Hostel Kyoto is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station.

A very hip hostel just a 5 minutes walk away from Kyoto Station. Many amenities available at the front desk. Free hot drink bar. Free use of kitchen and fridge space. Kind staff with useful advice. Shared bathrooms and the showers are only available on the ground floor. To compensate for this though, the room has a huge bed and while still small, it feels larger than other tiny Kyoto accommodation.

insomnia KYOTO OIKE, hotel in Kyoto

Attractively located in Kyoto, insomnia KYOTO OIKE has air-conditioned rooms, free bikes, free WiFi and a shared lounge. This 3-star hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage space.

Great western-style hotel with all the amenities you would need. Room was a little larger than most Japanese western hotels which was nice. Some cool perks such as free bread/danishes, coffee, juice, and alcohol on tap (for a charge) in the lobby. A good location in Kyoto. Most of the staff speaks at least some English and they have a self-service check in and check out option to make things easier.

Gion Elite Terrace, hotel in Kyoto

Located in Kyoto, a 9-minute walk from Gion Shijo Station, Gion Elite Terrace provides accommodations with a shared lounge, private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Unbeatable location - walkable to key sights like Sannenzaka & Ninenzaka Streets, Kiyomizu-dera temple and also the more commercial areas of Kyoto. Super easy to take the bus from Kyoto Station to the hotel - it's less than a two minute walk from the bus top. Room was fantastic and super spacious - we felt like we had plenty of space for three adults. We appreciated the small touches like the amenity bar, complimentary coffee in the lobby and free laundry (only two machines, often in use but we were able to do laundry twice without an issue). Definitely recommend and will stay here again!

    This was a great place to stay in Kyoto, the amenities were amazing, there was free laundry, hairdryers, towels and a hairbrush! The rooms were very clean and the beds comfy! The staff were very friendly and the location was great - only about a 15 minute walk from Kyoto Station. For the price paid, this place is a great deal.

    Kyoto Higashiyamaso created an excellent authentic Japanese stay. The staff were amazing and made our stay. They were so friendly and helpful.Their service was impeccable and they went above and beyond for us, flagging down taxis, giving us the best information about Kyoto etc. The room was very clean, spotless and the futon beds were very comfortable. Our room had a great view. It was in a great location and very close to the bus stop. We would definitely stay here again.

    The place is very clean. Rooms are big and the beds are comfortable. The location is not great, but there are several convenience stores around and the Shijo main street is within walking distance. A coin laundry is located next door, but there is a cheaper one just around the corner. There are a microwave and some kitchen tools in the lobby.

    Once you are checked in you can do as you please, if you want to be in all day or out it is up to you. It has a great location close to all the main attractions so you can be there early to beat the crowds, even before the transportation starts working as you can go by foot. It was very clean and the staff were really nice. Plus the bonus is that you get the WHOLE ROOM to yourself for cheaper than a capsule hotel. When I return to Japan I will most definitely book this stay again.
