Guest Reviews
- Peter (7/5): Great location - Good location right on a bus stop and 5 minutes walk from a station. Friendly hosts! Tight for 5 people but the property did make us aware of this so not holding it against them. There was an odd smell in the toilet room not sure what it was but had to have the window open to clear it.
- Isidro (8/5): Correcto - Alojamiento un poco pequeño para 4 personas, limpio y con una parada de bus enfrente de la puerta. Dificultoso para subir maletas.
Escaleras estrechas
Pero la información era correcta.
- Frédéric (8/5): - Emplacement près de la gare, calme. Appartement très fonctionnel avec les 2 chambres et S.B.
- R (9/5): - The bus stops right in front of the property and the train station is nearby, so you can get anywhere in no time. The apartment itself was wonderful. Located next to a busy road, so some traffic noise is noticeable, but it wasn’t a problem for us.
- Robin (10/5): - Location is close to train and bus. The apartment is well equipped. We enjoyed using the kitchen for our morning coffee. The beds are comfy. The rooftop was perfect to dry clothes after washing A smart tv would be a good addition
- Kathy (8/5): - Loved that it's very cozy and has everything we needed. They also provided bath towels which was a plus. The narrow steps at the premise makes it difficult to carry the luggages up/down and makes it pretty scary to go up and down on a daily basis, but they have railings which helps.
- BO-MIN (10/5): -
- Milagros (9/5): - La ubicación es excelente todo estaba limpio y tenia de todo... Muy bien explicada las indicaciones..la calidad precio es muy buena La verdad creo que nada
- Kayla (10/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): - More spacious than expected for Kyoto accomm. Good value for a family and very close to train 12 mins to city centre. Quiet area was nice but very limited eating out options nearby. However good supermarkets and kitchen meant we could eat in easily.
Beds comfortable and house warm.
- John (10/5): Great place to stay in Kyoto - I recently stayed 7 unforgettable days at the Royce Hanazono, and it truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Tetsu-san and his wife, Kimiko-san—an incredibly gracious and thoughtful hosting duo. Their kindness and attentiveness set the tone for a wonderful stay, and it was clear from day one that they genuinely care about their guests’ comfort and experience.
The apartment itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and in excellent condition throughout. Despite visiting in the winter, I was never uncomfortable—the AC/heating system kept the place perfectly warm during the chilly Kyoto nights. After long days of exploring temples, markets, and scenic streets, the hot tub became an absolute highlight. There was nothing better than sinking into a warm soak and letting the day’s miles melt away.
The location couldn’t be more convenient. The home is just a 6-minute walk from Hanazono Station, which itself is only five quick stops from Kyoto Station. Getting around the city was incredibly easy, and for even more flexibility, there are two bus stops right outside the apartment—ideal for short-distance local travel or spontaneous trips.
I also loved learning that Tetsu-san and Kimiko-san run a salon, which they warmly welcome guests to visit. Anyone needing hair services or maintenance during their stay will be in excellent hands—another thoughtful offering that shows how much they enjoy taking care of others.
Overall, I couldn’t recommend Royce Hanazono more. The apartment is wonderful, the amenities are perfect for travelers, and the hosts are responsive, helpful, and always available when you need them. If you’re considering staying here in Kyoto, book it—you will be extremely glad you did. If I had to think of one “downside,” it would only be that the apartment is located on the third floor, but even that felt like such a minor consideration compared to everything else this stay provided. The quality, comfort, warmth, and hospitality far outweigh the extra flight of stairs.
- Yustika (9/5): -
- 青木 (8/5): 自宅のように過ごせた。 - 困ったことなど、質問に即座に解答してもらえた。対応も迅速だった。 上の階の事業所の音が少し気になった。
- Uwe (10/5): Very well-equipped accommodation with good connections to the center. - Very pleasant vacation apartment. The apartment is located in a Japanese townhouse in the immediate vicinity of the Myoshin-ji Jiun-in Temple with a beautiful Zen garden. The apartment is fully equipped and very clean. The owner is always available. There are many shopping opportunities and supermarkets nearby. The connection to the center is perfect by train and bus. The house is located on a busy street.
- Manix (10/5): Great roomy apartment with fantastic facilities - The apartment was big with more than enough space for our party of 5. We were so surprised to find we had 2 shower rooms and a balcony where we could enjoy a morning cuppa and dry our clothes
- Saikiran (9/5): Spacious apartment, awesome access to the roof to see the city of Kyoto, great location - Location was great, there was an awesome temple nearby and a bus stop right outside the apartment and a 7-11 about 10 min walk away. Apartment was spacious, and was very usable for 4 people. The stairs to get to the apartment are quire narrow and VERY steep which was difficult for us since we had a lot of luggage. The drain in the shower did seem to struggle though with water not going out quite fast enough.
- Tim (9/5): Superb -
- Karen (10/5): Great neighbourhood, super convenient, excellent value for money. - Great location, only a few stops by train from Kyoto station and on seceral bus routes. We bussed to Nijo castle and Arashiyama forest from right outside the accommodation. Good selection of eateries, convenience stores and super markets nearby. Excellent facilitites, would stay again.
- Koh (7/5): RH Kyoto - Good location and easy self check-in. The owner is helpful The bed mattress is too soft and bunk mattress is too hard.
- Naresh (7/5): Good - Location is good,right on the road, but have 2 entrances. Location of bed.
- Kasumi (9/5): Superb -
- Andreas (9/5): Great place to stay in Kyoto -
