Hazuki Kyoto, hotel in Kyoto

Offering air-conditioned rooms in the Shimogyo Ward district of Kyoto, located between Kamogawa River and Takase canal, Hazuki Kyoto is 20 minutes stroll from Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Gion District.

Loved our stay here! The owner was very helpful and friendly. Our arrival was a couple hours delayed and he kindly waited for us to welcome us/check us in. Easy communication via WhatsApp should you have any questions/concerns or even want some Kyoto recommendations. We enjoyed the beauty and charm of the building. The walls are thin so everyone is encouraged to be respectful and quiet throughout your stay which we were fine with. And the floor futons were extremely comfortable!

    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.
