Hotels near Kyoto Tower

This hotel was absolutely immaculate and the rooms had been designed with every convenience in mind, even down to the heated bathroom mirror. It was by far the largest room we had during our travels in Japan, plenty of storage and a separate seating area even just in a standard double room. We loved the complimentary yukata and nespresso machine and the daily free bottles of water were great in the August heat. The staff were very friendly and exceptionally keen to help although it was possible to tell that they were a little new, the hotel had only been open a few months and in their enthusiasm they'd talk over each other a little bit. The location is great for getting around Kyoto and the wider area, close to lots of bus stops and the huge expanse that is Kyoto station. We avoided breakfast at the hotel (VERY expensive) and grabbed snacks from the 7/11 each night to put in our fridge in the room. Negatives: we felt the restaurant was overpriced and very small portion sizes compared to every other meal we ate in Kyoto. Also as a coeliac (gluten free needed) they didn't understand at all which to be fair was the case across Japan as a whole. May be something they could learn about as they continue to get visitors from around the world I'm sure they will encounter this again. Also avoid getting a massage in the relaxation room. It's an external company that come in to the hotel. During my massage other hotel guests opened the door of the room and came in. When I told front desk about this I was offered an apology but not even a complimentary drink in the bar. I expected them to take it a bit more seriously. Lesson learnt! Overall we would stay here again as a good base for exploring Kyoto.

It's a brand new 5 star hotel (opened in September 2017). The location is just perfect for us as we had gotten the hotel to make most of our restaurants reservations, mostly around the GION district area. Quite a number of sightseeing places (famous Shrines & Temples) are within walking distance. It is especially good for us as we can walk off the calories after our lunch and before heading back to hotel to freshen up and then for dinner. The room size is pretty good and everything is so new and clean.. even the hotel smells good too! Room rate is considered reasonable given the high rates in most hotels in Kyoto. Overall,we are happy and satisfied with the stay at Celestine Kyoto Gion. The only problem (not big though) is you have to be rather patience with the staff if communicating in English with them. Anyway, will definitely stay at this hotel again.

We only booked for one night to see the top 5 attractions of Kyoto. New miyako was superbly located, just in front of the massive train station and bus transits which can lead u to ALL major attractions in Kyoto. You can take the bus 100 and get a day pass for ride all u can, you can see major temples such as Silver pavilion and a nearby one with a UNESCO heritage badge. Also can get dropped off nearby Gion town with possible Geisha sightings. I was able to go Fushima inari shrine, Gion and a main temple in half a day. Second half day was able to see silver and gold pavilion, also arashiyama. Meaning location excellent. Food not a problem with restaurants in hotel and nearby groceries and huge food court in train station. We got higher end rooms than standard ones which had a nice dark vibe in the corridors. A nice four star feel. Rooms a bit larger for Japanese standard that is also why i got it. 2 single beds (a bit hard but also a Japanese norm) and a sitting area with a table. Cable tv no English channel. I will probably stay here again if I visit Kyoto again due to proximity of hotel to Train station.

Location is the best. Just across the underground path, the entrance will right in front of you. You can access JR and department store very easily. Bus interchange and Kyoto tower is right at the corner. The best thing is there is a Super big shopping mall behind the hotel, you can find everything you need there. We are a group of four, so we booked a linked room ( two rooms linked together). The room is comfy and cozy. We only stayed here for one day, but we did enjoyed our stay! If there comes another chance to visit Kyoto again, I'll definitely choose here again.

We stayed 2 nites in Sakura Terrace The Gallery. Very easy to locate , only 5 mins walk from Kyoto Station in the opposite direction from Kyoto Tower. Very clean and comfortable - big room, big bathroom, balcony, 3-seater sofa in-room, complimentary welcome drink (alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices) every evening, sumptuous breakfast comprising wide range of Japanese and western items, freshly grounded coffee (4 selections), fragrant tea selections, onsen (but not natural spring water), complimentary self-laundrette, gym and lounge. Very helpful and cheerful staff.

this is one of the best hotels in Kyoto with efficient and friendly service. large rooms (by Japanese standards) and nicely designed lobby make this a good place for rest after a long day sightseeing in Kyoto. great location to some of the main temples as well as the main train station. a little bit far away from downtown (shopping), Gion and some of the temples in the north (though everything within max 20min cab ride). we were traveling with young child (16months) and staff was very helpful (and at times tolerant) in dealing with it.

Room is spacious with ample natural light. The twin beds are quite large, although a bit firm. Bathroom is larger than other hotels I've stayed at in Japan, particularly love the bathtub & rainfall shower. At check in, they have amenities baskets for ladies and children, from which you can take whatever you like, which I thought was special. The staff may seem standoff-ish, but when they know you really need help, they are very helpful. They helped me book an airport limousine bus departing from my next hotel in Tokyo. Location is a 5-10 minute walk from Kyoto Station and just a stone's throw away from Kyoto Tower. The hotel also connects directly to Kyoto Station through the Porta on B1 level, which is convenient when it's raining. However, connecting to the Porta is through a series of steps (no elevator/escalator/ramp), so keep that in mind if you're travelling with a pram/stroller/wheelchair/large suitcase.

Specifically booked this hotel due to its proximity to Kyoto Station. Just across the road in fact. Was pleasantly surprised that it is not only near to Kyoto Station, but it is also situated on the JR station side, which means we do not have to walk the length of the station to get to the Shinkansen station to Tokyo. Best located (for my purpose) hotel for me and my small family. There is a kimono rental shop just at the entrance and the selection was small but very beautiful. I personally did not rent from there but from what I can observed, it is a convenient place to start for your kimono experience. They charged around 3900 yen when I was there. There is a small Lawson right across the street from the hotel, in case you came back late from your excursion and in need of refreshment. The shops at Kyoto Station generally close at 10PM. Some earlier. Specifically booked this hotel due to its proximity to Kyoto Station. Just across the road in fact.

The location is sooo good, just in the corner of kyoto station, easy for us to go around, the bus station is near, the bus for sight seeing tour just infront of the station Since its next to the station it have plenty restaurants around, i setan and the cube (shopping mall also closed, kyoto tower easy to reach, they even gave us voucher to kyoto tower Staffs are helpful, speaking english eventhough not fluent.. they help to book everything for us, restaurants, tickets, when we said that our son is not well they came to our room and offer help One thing that not really satisfying is the food at breakfast always the same everyday, but the quality still good, our kids love that they can choose variety of ice creams every morning I would recommend this hotel to family traveling with kids

It’s my 3rd time to stay at the Hotel but the first time I realize that their standard room is with regular size bathroom. The bathroom I had last 2,time is much bigger and with a shower place next to the bath tub. I booked the same room type - standard room through agoda for my 2 recent stays. When I checked in this time, I just found out that the bathroom is only a regular bathroom room without the shower place. I requested to change the room but I was told that I was upgraded to the superior room last time when I booked for the standard room. But I was never told. That’s why I booked the same room type as last time. I like this hotel much mainly because of their room size and the big bathroom with shower place on top of the best location. I was very disappointed when I got the standard room. Having talked to the manager fir times, they agreed to cheng our room to superior room for last 3 nights of my 5 night stay, which I did appreciate. Their standard room is not bad at all but after I had enjoyed the large bathroom for my last 2 stay, I didn’t prefer to stay at the standard room. Other than the bathroom issue, it’s a very nice hotel with unbeatable convenient location. You can easily make access to all kinds of traffic and with various restaurants around. And, it’s also very nice to have a room facing the Kyoto Tower. I will still go back to this Hotel again.

A clean, efficient and friendly place to stay, close to Kyoto station and convenience stores which open till late. Also close to the meeting point for JTB tours - Kyoto tower hotel. Staff speak english well. The free noodles were great - you also get green tea or cold/hot water provided. Close to the bus station, only a 10-15 minute ride to the shopping arcades and department stores -

we really enjoyed staying at hotel hokke. its a small friendly hotel with some nice touches. women are given a bath amenities pack on arrival. a library, lounge area and cooled water is available as well as free internet. the laundry is very accessible and cheap to use. the hotel has made up information folders on the important sites and things to do in kyoto i.e. imperial palace. i found these folders very helpful as a first time visitor to kyoto. our room was a twin 18m and was quite spacious. the hotel is located at the back of kyoto station, approx a 5 minute walk once you get out of the station. we had some difficulty finding the hotel as it does not have a big sign out the front saying "hotel hokke" we actually walked past it and about 30 mins later a helpful young couple walked us to the hotel. when we arrived we realised how easy it would be to miss it. it is about 20 metres from the kyoto tower hotel which you can't miss. turn left at the kyoto tower corner and walk a little and you will find it. remember the signage is not that bold. for the service, affordability and facilities we would definitely return. sometimes its nice to stay in a smaller hotel.

we loved staying at the kyoto brighton hotel. the room we stayed in was a double room and it was very spacious. the bathroom is very big, we enjoyed taking showers there. the rooms are clean and comfortable. the neighborhood is quite which was nice. the concierge was very helpful, they helped us book our restaurants, printed out maps and ordered our meals in advance so we didn't have to struggle reading japanese menus. there is nothing to complain about except that our room had remains of cigarette smell. we stayed at 4 hotels in kyoto. hyatt regency, hoshinoya and hotel granvia kyoto. kyoto brighton is the best value for money!

Joking in the title aside, Hotel Anteroom Kyoto was a refreshing change from the already-excellent hotels I've stayed at until this point during my first trip to Japan. Some solo travellers may find the single room to be too small for their liking - I'll admit that my room was a bit cramped, but given how beautiful Kyoto is, as a small base to take a break at once or twice a day, the small size didn't bother me that much. What really worked for me were the facilities at the hotel and the small list of what's available on the street the hotel is located on. Facilities-wise, you'll only need to spend 200-300 yen if you need to get some laundry done yourself, and if you do that during the night, you can wait for everything to be done in style at the hotel bar. As for the latter, that's how I found myself eating my first ramen in Japan, and how I found out about the best little bakery I've ever been to, anywhere in the world. First-time travellers to Kyoto booking a stay at this hotel may be a bit confused as to how to get to this hotel from Kyoto Station. Take the green subway line towards the south and get off at either Kujo or Jujo - the hotel is located on a major side street between the two stations.

The hotel is only a short walk away from the massive Kyoto station on the western side and they upgraded my room from single to double with street view. The Japanese breakfast was excellent and there's also a Continental style. It's got everything I need, unfortunately it's a bit of a walk to Kyoto' Tower, because there's lots of great restaurants there. Wifi is excellent and I had a good rest too & I'd be quite happy to stay there again next time I am in town.

I would like to recommend this very special hotel in Kyoto. The location isnt so comfortable, but the facility of shuttle bus to the central station every 15 min make it easy. I will beggin my comment with the breakfast. You have two different options, two different restaurants. One for american and one for Japanese buffet. If you are not Japanese better to choose the American restaurant, because you have the option of Japan corner included. Furthermore, the help from the concierge desk, was very helpful since Mrs Naomi organized us all of our days with excursions and wonderful restaurants.

Stayed 3 nights in this hotel on a recent sightseeing trip to Kyoto with my wife and 10 year old son. Although we only booked a double room, I mentioned that I was travelling with my son and the hotel thoughtfully provided a room with 3 single beds at no extra charge. The hotel is quite new and very clean and well decorated. Beds were comfortable with a choice of different pillow types - foam or beans! The bathroom had separate wet-room shower and a bathtub. This is a no- smoking hotel which is unusual in Japan which made a nice change in what is a serious smoking country so no stale smoke odours! A free 'continental' breakfast consisting of unlimited freshly-baked (warm!) Danish pastries, juice cartons and tea & coffee is provided. The hotel is 2 minutes walk from the Hankyu railway's Omiya station and the Randen Arashiyama Line's Shijo Omiya station. There are plenty of bus stops within a few minutes walk to take you to all of the major tourist sites - I recommend the one-day Kyoto bus pass for 500 Yen (available at the hotel front desk or from bus drivers) which is cheaper than 3 bus rides if you will plan on using the bus for tourism! The hotel web site provides details of how to get there - which if you are coming from Kyoto JR Station needs a change between the Kyoto Metro and the Hankyu Railway and separate tickets, neither are operated by JR so not included in the Japan Rail Pass! Would certainly consider staying here again if I return to Kyoto.

The hotel was new, which meant the facilities were new too. Love their hot spring, and their complimentary coffee served from morning till night (8pm or so) - it was really good ice coffee. We booked their Twin Rooms, and was only in Kyoto for 3 days. So we travelled light. The rooms maybe a little small if you have big luggages like the 29 inch type. Huge toilets, glass door type. Unlike most hotels in japan with built in toilets (that you have to get into the bathtub to shower), i prefer bigger showers like in this hotel It is walking distance to NIJO CASTLE, Unesco Heritage site. Definitely worth the visit. Highly recommend you to visit this CASTLE compared to OSAKA Castle. Will definitely stay here again if I am back in Kyoto, and will definitely recommend to friends.

I visited Kyoto for the second time after 20 years. Grand Prince Hotel is right across the Kyoto International Convention Center where my meeting was held so it was an excellent choice location wise. A very tranquil environment to stay. Service was great. It's good to have both Western and Japanese style breakfast in the same place. Staff was extremely professional and helpful when I had issue with my flight back to the U.S. Perhaps the only thing I wish the hotel had is a gym. Other than that, excellent!

Kami memesan 6 kamar d hotel Ibis Kyoto, kami sangat sennag dgn hotel ini karena lokasi yg sanngat strategis. Perjalanan kami dr Tokyo-Kyoto by Shinkansen, dan kami turun d Kyoto Station diaman Ibis teoat berada d seberang station ini. Pelayanan staff memuaskan, hotel bersih, uk kammar yg agak kecil minimalis. Sekitar hotel dekat dgn AEON mall, dekat dengan Kyoto Tower dan Yodobashi elektronik. Kami akan tinggal d hotel ini lagi jika ke Kyoto

I was a solo traveller first time in Kyoto. This hotel is in a excellent location, only 1 stop from the main part of town on the Hankyu line and right at the terminal stop of the shijo-omiya electric line which goes to a lot of tourist sites. The bonus is you can even take the Hankyu line all the way to Osaka which is a 40-45 minute rude for only 400 yen. Although the hotel is old it is very well mantained and spotless. The only thing to watch out for is carrying large bags from Kyoto station. You will have to swap lines twice in very non-big bag friendly stations as the companies that run the lines are different. Very bizzare concept coming from Sydney. That is just something to keep in mind that isn't to do anything with the hotel per se, but just something to consider when getting there. Also watch out what train you get on as the express ones don't stop at Oyima! Overall great hotel and Kyoto is a magical place you must visit. Can't wait to go back and would stay there again.

I had initially booked another hotel but only managed to get one day. The 2-5 day were spent at CMM. My advice is to take the Kansai airport bus (not the subway) to kyoto if your destination is Kyoto as last stop is situated about 200m from CMM. Once you alight from the bus, make a left turn and walk about 150m or so then make a right. Another about 100m you will see CMM on the left. It’s a pretty small hotel but you can see it. There’s a family mart about 20m away. I had gone to the mall opposite the hotel (20m away) for breakfast. Lots of Japanese food and a McDonalds. Kyoto station is about 300m (opposite the anovementioned mall. There’s also plenty of food there. The friendly staff speak English and Mandarin so no worries. They are super patient and will give you lots of suggestions on shopping and food. Like all Japan hotel, it’s pretty small but things are well organized. There’s a washing machine, stove and oven so you can do your own cooking. Overall, yes I’ll return

I spent 2 night in Kyoto Tower Hotel. The reason I booked this hotel was because of the central location which is just opposite to the JR train station and bus terminal to many tourist spots. The other reason is its tower. I had spent an evening on the tower to enjoy the view of Kyoto. The best thing is the staff in this hotel. They are very helpful especially I asked for their help to call the airlines and talk with the airlines staff since the my original flight had been cancelled. Although the room is small but it is clean which it is enough for me as a budget solo traveler. I would highly recommend this hotel to others

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.

The location is quite ok. Various bus routes just a minute away from hotel. In Kyoto you will be catching bus more than subway so access to a big bus stop is more convenient. few minutes walk to Shin-omiya stn which going directly to Arashiyama Bamboo forest. I didn’t use the train lines that much so depends where you go it will benefit you but 90% you’ll catch bus to shrines and temples in the city. The hotel is pretty new so cleanliness is good and facilities inside hotel are new also. Few limitations are you can’t leave your luggages at hotel itself because there is no reception desk there. The hotel check-in & out are done automatically on ipad. No actual staff presentation at hotel. They have their main office near Kyoto stn, if you need to drop off your luggage before/after your stay, you’ll need to pickup/bring luggage to office, quite inconvenient if you have few pieces. A friendly suggestion, should have communication app like Line, Whatapps to have quicker reply.

From Kyoto JR walk straight, go to Kyoto Tower Hotel, ask them where Kyoto Tower Hotel Annex. They same group. Just 5 minutes walks. When you check-in, you got free voucher to enter Kyoto Tower. Free ice and water (if you don't like tap water), vending machine on floor 7. No English channel on TV, but every hotel I visit in Japan don't have one. Porn movie always available in every hotel, but you must pay first before see preview. So it's safe for your children.
