Hotels near Imperial Palace, Kyoto

Amazing spacious hotel room unlike the usual small little rooms in japan! Price is very reasonable and in a great neighbourhood! We enjoy the restaurants nearby and the hotel is excellent! We had a really nice welcome drink and chocolates and it really made the experience very memorable !

Great customer service. Room was very spacious and comfortable. I loved the room provide the matcha green tea ceremony experience. The location is not ideal but the shuttle service helps a lot. It would be more helpful if they post the shuttle service on their website. I found the shuttle info via guest reviews. Overall, we had a great time staying this hotel. I would love to come back again.

The room with tatami mats has a traditional Japanese taste! It's a pity that the soundproofing is not very good, so I can only use the air tones to talk to my friends. You can hear the sound of talking next door and even the alarm very clearly😂

Overall, it's clean and spacious. The garden view room, however, only faces an air shaft, so there's absolutely no difference whether you open the window or not 😂. The bathroom is very spacious, but you have to get drinking water from a communal dispenser outside the room. Also, if you don't hang the 'make up room' sign, they won't clean it.

We chose this guesthouse based on reviews and were not mistaken. We lived together in a room with separate single beds, there was enough space for two even with unpacked suitcases. The bathroom is small, but clean enough, there are towels, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The room has a hairdryer, refrigerator, kettle (which is great because there was no kettle in the hotel room in Osaka, which was extremely inconvenient). In the common area there is a microwave and tea bags. On the first floor there is a laundry with free powder. Nice and helpful people work at the reception: upon request, they provided an iron. We also liked the location. Overall, we were pleased with our stay at this guesthouse.

The hotel's facilities are quite good, though the only minor drawback might be the poor soundproofing. There's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, offering convenient access to major attractions in Kyoto. The subway station is about a 20-minute walk away. As for the amenities, the hotel is well-equipped with individual shower rooms and toilets on each floor. The washing machine and lounge area are located on the fifth floor. Please note that the hotel does not have an elevator. If you have large luggage, you can inform the front desk to arrange a room on a lower floor.

The location is near Kyoto Imperial Garden. It takes a few minutes to walk to the subway entrance, which is still a bit far, but the hotel has that old money feel. The service standard is there. You can ask for a room that is not on the side of the road. It is still pretty good. The keys are very retro, the bathroom is also very large, and the room is also very large. I just forgot to take a picture of the room.

Everything okay love eggs and prawns for breakfast mayb sausages and bacon and bread for my boyfriend he suggested it!!

The location is fantastic, and public transport is incredibly convenient. A two-minute walk to the left brings you to the subway, which offers direct lines to Kyoto Station, Nara, and Uji. A ten-minute walk to the right, and you'll find bus stops with direct routes to Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) and Kiyomizu-dera. Nijo Castle is so close you can even walk there – it's unbelievably convenient! There are also plenty of convenience stores nearby, which I really appreciated. They replenished mineral water and towels daily if you hung the 'make up room' sign, a service rarely offered by budget hotels. The room was very clean, and there's a coffee machine in the lobby on the first floor – perfect for a pick-me-up after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast was also excellent; even if you arrived late, there was still a great selection of food. The staff were incredibly attentive too! When we were the only table left, they noticed we'd nearly finished the apple juice and came over to refill it. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kyoto. I'm truly, truly satisfied!

I really liked the shower with a bathtub, and the capsule hotel itself was in good condition. However, I was a bit disappointed with the service. I guess it might have been a unique situation. After checking in and going to my locker, there was a note saying I had an important message and to come to the counter. When I went, they told me someone was sleeping in my room? Excuse me? I was given room 106, but then they told me the guest from room 119 was sleeping in 106, and asked if I could just use room 119 instead? Room 106 was on the first floor, and 119 was on the second, and I was so tired from walking that I really didn't want to go up to the second floor. I initially asked if I could speak to the person who was supposedly sleeping there, using a translator. They said okay and went to check, but then there was no one in the room? But they said someone was sleeping there... There were signs of someone being there, like a charger, an overturned blanket, and other belongings. I asked them to contact me if they managed to talk to the person, but after a long wait, no one showed up. It was past 11 PM, and I just wanted to shower and sleep, so out of exhaustion, I said I'd just use room 119. After I showered, they brought the person from room 119! It was a foreigner, and all three of us were using different language translators to communicate, haha. They asked if I wanted to switch rooms then, but they weren't going to change the bedding again... I felt uneasy about it, so I just said I'd use room 119 and went to sleep. I really feel the initial handling of the situation was very disappointing. I still don't understand why someone was in a different room to begin with. Anyway, that's what happened, haha.
