Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier -- I marked this as my favrite hotel in Kyoto now -- the key point is: there are less noisy and annoying group guests in this hotel, and I do hope they will keep this status to attract quality people to stay with them. The reason I selected this hotel before my stay recently is: it is located on the bank of Kamo River, which is the best location for one to enjoy and appreciate Kyoto from the inner mind, and I enjoyed my morning jogging alongside the river, just in front of the hotel. Excellent location for all publish transportation means and one find many good restaraunts near by, and I love the simple and chic designs of the hotel and very friendly staffs, they are polite and helpful. And also, the room is spacious and facilities just enough for travellers! Picture no. 1 -- a look of the hotel from the other side of the river. Picture no. 2 -- the small lane next to the hotel, lots of places to eat. Picture no. 3 -- the view from the large window in the front desk, a real window for you to know what it looks like outside, it was snowing outside when I took the photo in the lobby !

Location: good location, just cross the bridge from Sanjo station take exit 7, note: it is stairs up walk 5 mins you will reach the hotel. Walkable to shijo shopping area, and to other attractions (Gion/Yasaka Shrine) Amenities: hotel lobby provide facial wash, lotion and miscellaneous for use.

Excellent location. 5min walk to Tozai line and Kintetsu line. 5 minutes walk to the interconnected shopping street. And 2 minutes walk to kamogawa. Perfect!

Loved that the hotel is located right next to Shiyakusho-mae Station and a short stroll away from the scenic Kamo River. And, within walking distance to Pontocho and Gion. The rooms are fairly large and the baths very pretty with lush greenery outside the windows. Breakfast was superb. We'd just enjoyed an introduction to traditional Kyoto fare at a top-notch ryokan prior to our stay at Solaria. And we were thrilled to recognise similar local dishes with its distinctive tastes served at breakfast.

I like the public bath. And it is convenient to go to other attractions living here

Great hotel, really clean. Slightly small but pretty ok for Japan room size standards. Love the fact they have a small hot spring to soak in after a long walking day. It sits right on a street filled with eatery so you will not go hungry. But we love more that it’s away from the tourist traffic, and there’s a 24h supermarket just afew mins walk away so if we ever need a proper snack or drink, there’s this option aside from the already abundant convenient stores that are just footsteps away.
