Rc Hotel Kyoto Yasaka, hotel in Kyoto

Providing free WiFi and a garden in a renovated 50-year old building with mountain views from the property, Rc Hotel Kyoto Yasaka offers accommodation in Kyoto, 600 metres from Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

This was the largest room I had on the whole trip. The room was very nice, decorated in loft style, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The staff were very friendly and helpful in all matters. Just before we left, I found out that there was a roof top with amazing view of the old town, don’t miss it!!! The location is very good, almost in the centre of the old town, lots of cafes and restaurants nearby 👌🏻. There is a coffee point next to the hotel where guests get a discount. It's a place you really want to go back to. I highly recommend it !!!!

Kokonoe Machiya, hotel in Kyoto

Ideally located in the centre of Kyoto, Kokonoe Machiya offers air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge.

This Hostel is the best of my trip in Japan ! So cosy and a typical Japanese home, comfortable, quiet but sociable if you talk with other people in the common room. They are very nice, they make the best for you and give you all the information around to stay, and enjoy your trip ! The owner and his wife are amazing 😍 Thanks again !!

Very comfortable when considering its price. I’ve stayed at a nearby hotel that cost almost double but offers similar if not worse options. The staff was helpful too, and took their time to explain their house rules, in addition to rules that are unique to Kyoto. Would definitely recommend.

    This is not your average hotel, but a step back in history and culture. It is a true experience and we are so glad we included this on our family trip to Japan. Management and staff were wonderful and made every effort to make us feel at home. The traditional Japanese breakfast and special dinner served in our room were incredible.

    The rooms were clean, our futons were prepared each night of our stay and our tea and snacks were replaced each day. The location is really good for access to the major attractions, great restaurants and two different train lines. The inn looks beautiful on the outside and gives a really nice traditional and authentic feel when you step inside.

    We had an amazing time! Thanks to the wonderful innkeepers and all the helpful staff. The room was spotless and well-equipped with a microwave, washing machine and dryer. There was no extra charge for this. The bedrooms were also very shaded at night. What impressed us the most was the excellent communication from the inn. When we left on our last day, the hostel owner gave us a very convenient route to the airport, which saved us a lot of trouble!

    We liked how spacious the room was and the kind innkeeper that guided us to our room and showed us the ropes, she was the sweetest. The bath was nice too, but definitely not big enough for two people so it was good only one of us went. The location is great and in the Gion District and also a 5 minute walk from the station!

    Koya Guest House is a classic Ryokan inn. The place has its character and it is a privilege indeed to have a chance to stay in a guest house like this. There is a garden outside the common area where you can sit and enjoy the quiet beauty of the place. My room has everything for me to feel comfortable. I am very happy I booked this place. Breakfast is simple but a good start for a day, with an unlimited team and coffee during the day.
