On a budget? Find Cheap Hotels in Kyoto, Japan

"This is the only capsule hotel in Kyoto that has a mixed floor, meaning a floor for both guy & girl which is convenient for a couple like us travelling as we don't want to be on different floor for the night. The room is just a bed with all the remote & key being the Ipod that was passed to you during check in. The troublesome thing is to make sure the ipod is fully charged at all time if not, it will affect on how you can control the light, air & stuffs. There is a place for everyone to mingle & eat. Cups & plates are also provided but do remember to do your own washing once you are done."

"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."

"The APA Hotel in Kyoto was a good hotel in a great location. The CUBE is right next door for dining and shopping, and your Shinkansen is right there for departure as well. There's a Bic Camera adjacent, if you need electronics. A coin laundry is 15 minutes walk east, by the river. It is entirely possible to walk to Chion-in and Kiyomizu-dera from the hotel - I did it. It'll make you feel like a pilgrim. (Takes about 45 minutes to get there) Really, a great place to stay. It's comparable to the Granvia, but - not being in the station itself - much more affordable."

"Clean place, breakfast is ok, no free parking lots and to park overnight for public place is so expensive. Onsen is free and private. There is washing machine, hotel is clean and new condition. There are 7-11 and Lawson close by. The place is close to Kyoto tower and Isetan and Kyoto station. Totally is ok for spending money here."

"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."
