Guest Reviews
- Isabelle (8/5): - Bit noisy in the evening due to the high traffic hot spring ok
- Shawn (10/5): - Amazing Onsen experience. Location close to anything you’d want to do. We liked it here better than Tokyo
- Verified traveler (6/5): Accessible to trains - Hotel was located near Kyoto station which was convenient for travelling by train. It was on the more quiet side of Kyoto station and we had to walk over to the other side of the train lines to get more food options. Otherwise, a clean and good hotel.
- Jenny (8/5): - The rooms are clean and spacious enough. You need to pay a tax when you check in whether you use the hot spring baths or not.
- Heng (10/5): - Hotel is just 5 minutes walk from major station. Staffs are friendly and there are washer and dryer available.
- Nida (10/5): - The hotel is in a great location and has a hot spring bath. Some rooms even come with a private onsen. All the staff are lovely, the rooms are clean, and the toilet is separate from the shower. Getting around is easy since the hotel is close to Kyoto’s main bus terminal, train stations and many popular tourist spots. Lots of convenient stores and very close to shopping areas.
- donghui (8/5): - It is very convenient to walk around and close to nearby temple too.
- Wei Seng (10/5): - Overall a great hotel, all rounded good performance.
- Joshua (10/5): - Perfect experience.
- Victoria (10/5): - Beautiful room, and a great bar
- Martin Paulo (8/5): Love the onsen and cleanliness! - It was definitely good, I gave a 4 star just because there was no gym and nearby gym. Overall the hotel is so good, spacious and really loved the onsen!
- Kenichi (10/5): - Nice hot springs near the station.
- LING (10/5): - The hot spring is very clean. Location is 2 minutes walk to Kyoto station.The staff is very friendly. Especially the senior staff helped me to contact bus company to find back my backpack l forgot in the bus. This is Japan.
- Wing (6/5): - just a OK hotel. Not worth the price.
- Letty (8/5): - - Conveniently located w/in walking distance from Kyoto Station - Excellent customer service throughout - Memorable Japanese breakfast experience on 7th floor - Clean hot spring onsen facilities on the 8th floor
- Ekrem (10/5): - Amazing service! Amazing hospitality!
- Jenny (10/5): - Excellent staff. Close to station and eating areas. Love the onsen after a long day outside.
- Janeen (10/5): - We really appreciated that house keeping took special care of my Daughter’s stuffed animals. That was very thoughtful. Lovely hotel, great location near Kyoto Station.
- Mike (10/5): - Such amazing staff and clean. Close to all and awesome bar. Wish I could of stayed a month.
- Basil (10/5): - A great place to stay if you are looking for a location within walking distance of Kyoto station. It offers very pleasant accommodations. Our rooms were spotlessly clean and we liked that they included both Japanese and western style beds. They were a bit on the small side, not enough room for storing our suitcases etc. or unpacking. There isn’t a restaurant on the property but plenty of dining options in the surrounding area. All in all a great place to stay if you are looking to explore Kyoto.
- Kaori (10/5): - Clean and peaceful with hot spring
- kazuko (10/5): We enjoyed the stay! - We arrived too early for check in. They kept the lugged for us. When we came back the hotel later, they already carry the luggage to the room. Only one thing I’d like hotel to consider was, open the hot spring earlier than 6:30am. We checked out 7am, did not enough time to use the hot spring in the morning.
- Clifford (10/5): - It is close to the main train line. The hot springs are wonderful, staff is professional and the building/rooms are spotless and comfortable.
- Miguel (10/5): - This property is conviently close to Kyoto station and Kyoto Tower which made it perfect for moving around Kyoto and taking Shinkansens to other cities. Its in a relatively quiet area near the train station but also has plenty of foot traffic near it which helped us feel safe and comfortable waling to the hotel at any hour. We also loved the delicious restaurants that were nearby that really made this stay a highlight if our trip!
- Jasmin (10/5): - Close to Kyoto station
- KoonCin (8/5): Great location, comfortable and convenient - Great location and very comfortable with good service level.
- VANESSA (10/5): - Quiet and excellent service. Hot spring is also very clean and well maintained.
- Takeshi (10/5): - This hotel was very clean. They gave us excellent service. We would like to stay there again.
- Yushi (10/5): - Nice Hot spring ( Onsen ) in hotel . Very convenient location near the Kyoto station .
- Kent (10/5): Wonderful hotel! - Staff is amazing and hotel is located next to Kyoto Station so it is easy to get to if on foot with luggage. The onsen is great and there are laundry facilities as well. breakfast was a delicious authentic Japanese breakfast! Would recommend this place to everyone!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Highly recommend stay in Kyoto - Highly recommend, we very much enjoyed our stay here! We booked the Japanese traditional style room with its own private onsen. It was very ideal as we could not use the communal hotel hot springs as we have tattoos, but this did not bother us as we booked the private room for this purpose. The room was incredibly spacious and using the onsen was a lovely experience. The hotel staff were very welcoming and helped us greatly, particularly with helping us with luggage transfers. Even though we have very limited knowledge of Japanese, staff were able to help us in English which we appreciated. All in all it was a lovely short stay we had and great location, very near Kyoto Station.
- Daniel (8/5): - Like the hot spring.
- Maria (10/5): - Staff are very coureous, professional, and attentive to details. Facility, room, location and service are all top notch.
- Mohammadu (4/5): - Not worth the price.
- Luis (10/5): - The staff was exceptional and the Onsen (hot spring) was heaven after a day of walking up stairs visiting temples. Close to the train station (5 min walk) which has plenty of stores and restaurants/bars with great variety. The beds were insanely comfortable. I will certainly be staying here when I come back to Kyoto.
- Yannick (10/5): Happy customer - Hotel staff was extremely polite, helpful, prompt and professional. The onsen was excellent, and the room was perfect for my wife and I. Clean, nice yukatas, and a great hybrid design of traditional Japan and modern amenities.
- Betsy (8/5): - It was nice experience staying in family room. I just wish you add body lotion to your amenities 😊
- Gloria (10/5): - Close to Kyoto Station. Great customer service and very nice hot spring. Highly recommend. We’ll definitely stay here again if we come back Kyoto.
- Wai Yin (10/5): - Very clean and tidy, big room space with a Japanese style area. A good hot spring with outdoor area in town, I can have a brief relax in the hotel, will come again
- Verified traveler (8/5): 不錯的飯店 - 洒店房間很細，行李要放在入口通道，沒有衣櫃，桌面也很細，很少地方放物品。職員有禮貌，可給我們11時才退房。温泉室內和室外各一個，人不多。離京都車站很近。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Only hotel with natural hot spring in the city centre. Very convenient location.
- Jennifer (10/5): - near the main station with quiet area. staff are very nice and helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The natural hot spring is perfect! Love both the indoor and outdoor hot spring:) Very comfortable and good size twin room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Treat yourself to a worthy upgrade! - Super nice and clean. We book one of the two rooms with the private onsen on the 8th floor. It was more than double the price of a regular room but it was so worth it for a day of relaxation. The room was a charming Japanese-Western style with a separate tea room. Super comfortable bed and quiet at night. The location was also very convenient and close to the Kyoto train station with lots of good food options and shops around. Would definitely stay there again and recommend that upgraded room with the private pool for anyone looking to treat themselves.
- Derick (8/5): - Able to arrange adjacent rooms for my late booking request. As we are arrive the hotel before the check in time, hotel staff are helpful to arrange early check in. When i return to the hotel at night time to collect the room key, being informed Our luggages already delivered to our room.
- Natalie (10/5): Great stop off near train station - We had a two day trip to Kyoto and this hotel was fantastic as a base. It is a short walk to the hotel from the train station. It has a floor of hot springs to relax at the end of a long day of shrine and temple touring.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean spacious room, close to train station, friendly and helpful staff.
- eppie mei ling (6/5): - Overcharge us the breakfast. When check-in, staff already mentioned breakfast was not include during this booking, I clearly said no need to add breakfast. Next morning we found breakfast coupon outside the room floor around 10am which the breakfast time almost finished. We didn’t use this breakfast coupon, but when we check out, they asked us to pay for the breakfast which I get confused. I didn’t request the breakfast coupon, if so why they didn’t give us upon the check-in, why only delivery in the next morning for breakfast hour. No frog & knifes inside the room, we requested on the 8th floor, they said the knife need to be charged, I feel so unfair we just borrowed the knife for the fresh fruit & they said we need to be charged. Unbelievable!!!
- Chee Sheng (8/5): Onsen Hotel near kyoto Jr station - Was looking for a stay near the kyoto station and this has attracted my attention. Hotel comes with onsen and within 5 minutes walking distance from kyoto Jr Station. Rooms are very spacious for 3 pax. However the onsen water on the top floor isn't hot enough probably due to the way the facility was built.
- Sohee (10/5): YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE!! - + clean clean clean rooms. + nice and quite onsen on TOP FLOOR. + great location. 5 min from Kyoto station by walk.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Terrific Japanese set breakfast and very nice bed. Rooms are a bit small and some dictance, though walkable, from the station.
- Jessica (10/5): - Excellent with the hot springs on the hotel. Very clean and spacious room. Walkable distance to Kyoto station and bus and lots of cheap eats.
- Francis (8/5): Good hotel, highly recommend - Good hotel, highly recommend
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent stay, will be back definitely! The only thing was, maybe its a cultural thing? Ladies would come in during middle of operation time in hot spring bath on the 8th floor to do clean up.....shouldn't clean up be done during down time?
- Evelyn Chan Bona (10/5): Excellent hotel to stay! - Easy access from Kyoto Station , quite area with convenient store nearby , we will stay in this hotel again in the future.
- Yik Man (10/5): Good hotspring hotel room - I booked a hotspring room. The room is big and clean, the hotspring is excellent. Good traditional japanese breakfast.
- Annie (10/5): What a find! And such a good price! - I'd been to Kyoto several times, and this time was only looking for a place near the station to spend the night before returning to Tokyo after traveling around southern Japan. So glad I found this place! The only problem was finding it. It's not hard, you just need to know where to go. Ergo: Come out of the Central Exit at Kyoto Station and turn LEFT. You can go up to the main road and go one block left (you'll pass the entrance to a hospital) and find the hotel on the next corner (entrance around the corner on the right side (cross the road then turn left). Even easier: turn left out of the entrance and keep going left on the side road. There's a big red sign pointing to the BIC camera store. When you get to the next corner, the hotel will be across the street to the right. Anyway--this tired traveler had a lovely shiatsu massage in my room and then spent a nice half-hour at the onsen on the 8th floor. It was pouring rain, so I just had dinner in the hotel, and that was just fine. Not the best restaurant in Kyoto, but didn't expect that. Service is lovely. The hotel is lovely. Beautiful lobby, spotless onsen area. I found the room (and it was the cheapest room) to be very spacious and comfortable. The yukata (cotton robes) provided were so gorgeous, I would have loved to have bought one. No problems at all with air conditioning, WiFi, or anything at all. Beds and pillows on the firm side, which I prefer. Thank you for a lovely evening!
- Audrey (2/5): Worst hotel experience - Not flexible hotel. Not helpful for hotel guest with young children. I will not recommend this hotel if you are staying with Children! Staff not helpful and not flexible & not considerate at all! Be aware as it's a hotel full of policies . Staff are pretentious of not able to speak foreign language like English!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Staff attitude and lousy hotel policy - Kept telling me that its the hotel policy so they are always right! Bad hotel and never going back. Carpets are black stained.
- Hon Kwong (10/5): Enjoyed our stay - Friendly staff with good spoken English. We were referred to Isetan Dept Store 11/F for lunch. We really enjoy the view and have a fantastic Wagyu beef lunch there.
- Sau Ching Angela (10/5): - Great room, great service and great location!
- n (8/5): Nice hotel, convenient to yeain station. Enjoyed - We enjoyed the onsen, specially after a busy day of touring.
- Dan (10/5): Great Location! Great Service! - Beautiful hotel, great location. The service and staff were amazing. My only issue was the lack of counter space in the bathroom and storage in the rooms.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Awesome place. I think it's closer to 4 stars. - Fantastic place, and the hot springs were quiet and lovely. The location is convenient close to the train station, but the immediate vicinity (the immediate 1-2 square block) can feel a little deserted at night.
- abdulkader (10/5): - nice hotel
- Nancy Diaz (10/5): Great hot baths - The hotel combines the traditional with the new. I loved wearing the yukata and soaking up in the hot bath. Very clean and comfortable with more amenities that. other hotels. Definitely would recommend and stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - fantastic experience in a ryokan. The secret Onsen is great experience
- Solo (10/5): Fantastic onsen inside the hotel! - Zuihokaku is truly amazing. The entrance can be slightly difficult to find. One entrance was decorated as a restaurant entrance. The other one was on the quiet street with no sign. Slightly hard to find, but the hotel was amazing. The lady staff who hosted me at the front counter was semi-fluent in English. Whenever I asked her questions, she could understand clearly and right away. It took a lot less burden to explain what I mean. The room was very interesting. The floor they use in the room is by traditional tatami (I think). They prepared Yutaka for customers to dress. Although there was no tutorial on how to wear it, with free wifi, it was very easy to find out on YouTube. They even have massage booking available (for additional fees). This is the first hotel I've seen who does that. For late night snack, they would bring it to your room when you order them. The onsen was truly astonishing. They have outdoor and indoor ones available. At first, the temperature was slightly hot. Once I was inside, the temperature was at the right amount! My entire body was truly relaxed after the onsen. On the side note, PLEASE FOLLOW THEIR GUIDE ON HOW TO ENJOY ONSEN PROPERLY! Too many other customers made a mess of this facility. Please be respectful and let's keep this awesome hotel running.
- Joelle (6/5): - 8mins walk from the station, Room was small .
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best Hot Springs Hotel in Kyoto - Best Hotel in Japan we stayed at this trip. Friendly staff; Hot Springs Onsen, was a wonderful experience with the traditional Yukata robe fresh daily. Storage for our luggages so we can see the city more! Clean rooms..convenient location, right by the train station (Shinkansen) from Tokyo..
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel - Excellent services and best hot springs
- Robin (10/5): Enjoyed Kyoto - Excellentl stay.
- Jules (8/5): Hotel with a Complete Japanese Experience - Excellent rooms, with a choice of regular beds or Japanese Futons. Wanted the full Japanese experience so chose the futons. Note that the futons are only made up at evenings around 6:00 p.m. - would have preferred that they be left made up, but they are taken away once the room is made up and set out again in the evening. Hot Spring (Onsen) is available for use on the top floor - it is clean and relaxing with early and late opening hours. Located close to the main Kyoto station with great shopping close by in all directions. Hotel has a great Japanese breakfast available in the dining room, also has a bar available. Polite staff especially in the dining room. A great little shop with local goods is also available on the premises
- Katsumi (10/5): Kyoto stay with excellent hot springs - Excellent hot springs bath on the top floor
- Verified traveler (10/5): Has a hot spring in the hotel. - Pretty close to Kyoto Station. Has a hot spring in the hotel but charges 150 yen per use. Room and hotel was modern and clean.
- Erika (10/5): Nice hotel close to Tranportation and things to do - Had a great time in Kyoto must do while your here . Hotel speaks english well. Onsen was nice
- Ena (10/5): Great location & Very nice Spring Spa - Near the Kyoto station. Spring Spa in the hotel was wonderful! Especially after lots of walk. Service was effecient and very friendly. I had an amazing experience.
- Paul (6/5): Pretty decent business hotel - Very convenient location, and a bit more stylish than the usual business hotels. Rooms are well designed and quite spacious. The upper floor onsen was a bit disappointing as there were no plants and no real "open air feeling"; more like a regular spa. The main problem with this hotel was that the window screens didn't block light much. If you need a room to be black to sleep, this hotel is not for you.
- D.A. (8/5): - Good onsen on the 8th floor
- amy (10/5): Wonderful surprise - When we had to book a room in Kyoto for just one night, that very same night, I knew I would be choosing from either extremely expensive places or places no one wanted to stay. When this hotel popped up as an option I snapped it up because it was cheaper then other similar properties. It turned out to be an absolutely lovely place to stay. Everything about it was terrific. Like most places in Japan, the service was outstanding. The room was extremely quiet and comfortable although the bed was a little hard, which may be typical of Japan. But the room was really big by Kyoto standards and had lovely amenities and a very nice Japanese simplicity. We also really enjoyed the traditional baths on site, especially looking out over the entire city of Kyoto while soaking in the steaming hot water. I would definitely recommend this place to others, and would return if I had the chance. We really lucked out when we booked it.
- Jani (6/5): Breakfast - The breakfast not as good as we think
- Maria (8/5): Good location, good amenities - Corner room was a bit small but serviceable for family of 3. Loved the bathtub amenities. Enjoyed the hot spring every night. Would definitely stay here again.
- Julian (10/5): Nice stay in Kyoto - Hotel near Kyoto station granting easy access to trains and buses to see popular temples and shrines. Hotel also had built in hotspring to soak in after a full day of walking.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Japanese bath house. - Comfortable, good sized rooms, lovely bath house. Beautiful traditional style rooms.
- Ching Kwok (10/5): A great hotel with hot spring - Convenient location. Near train and bus stations. Hot spring on top floor very clean and relaxing.We really enjoyed our stay very much.
- Rodolfo A (10/5): Perfect stay! Don't miss the Onsen! - It doesn't get any better. Perfect stay! Beautiful hotel, new, excellent condition. Great staff, extremely friendly, welcoming, helpful, polite. Don't miss the Onsen hot spring baths in the 8th floor for just USD 1,30/day. Wifi was blazing fast, the bathroom and toiletries perfect. Location couldn't be better either: 3 min walk from the Kyoto Station, with access to long distance and local trains, subway and buses, yet, very quiet. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel, as they only offer japanese style "sets", but there are plenty of cafes very close to the hotel. We loved Cafe Veloce just one block away.
- Chris (8/5): Love Kyoyo - Hotel was fine, near train station

- linda (10/5): Top - This is probably the best place I stayed in Japan. This hotel is clearly underrated considering the renovations that I have been made. Very clean, experienced staff, spacious rooms, good value Hot Springs at 5 mins of Kyoto station was great!
- Xi (10/5): Convienent hotel - Hotel staff Yang can speak Chinese and she was very helpful to arrange the sight seeing for us. Hotel is old but nice and clean. Our room is slightly close to subway tracks and had minor noise but bearable.
- Amy (10/5): Close to Main Station - The room was spacious and clean with large public baths. The staff was very friendly and always welcoming. It was a quick walk to the main Kyoto station, hub to all types of transport, with lots of shopping and dining facilities. Highly recommended for a comfortable stay in Kyoto.

- Manolito (8/5): Clean And New - the hotel is very good. The staff very nice and speak in English !! That is great !! The onsen very good and clean
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel - Loved this hotel in Kyoto. Room size was big. Had room with tatami mat and zabutons. Bathroom was big with good counter size. Service was good. Only con was the breakfast in the hotel was a buffet, but only had soup and salad (Japanese style). The hotel next door had a good breakfast. They have an onsen upstairs. Close to the Kyoto station with access to the trains and buses. Also a lot of restaurants and stores in train station.
- Laura (8/5): Nice but pricey! - Overal we were pleased. Pluses - great location near train station, nice bathroom and terrific onsen. Negatives - a little sterile and the room and restaurant were a bit overpriced ($70 per person for dinner; $15 breakfast)
- ahmad (8/5): Value for Money - Nice and clean. Friendly staffs. Good Location
- Chong Heng (10/5): Good Experience of japanese futon culture but could not bear it - The hotel is about 10mins walk from Kyoto station. Booked a japanese room with futon for three. There wasn't much space to move around after we placed our 3 huge luggages. We have to sit on the floor the entire time other than sleeping. After a while, our backs were tired as we are not used to this kind of posture. The rooms are clean and staff is friendly and speaks English. All the basic necessities are provided even with yukata. There is a hot spring to soak in that charges 450 each use. Male and female is separate
- ACL (10/5): Great authentic Japanese Experience - Beautiful hotel. Great minimalist decor was calming and elegant. They served a great Japanese breakfast that was so much fun. There were 3 stacked bento boxes full of surprises. We took our teenage sons, and they loved it too. You can't be shy to enjoy the hot springs, but men and women are separated. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend this hotel. Very close to the train station as well.
- Brent (10/5): Superior service and quality for great value. - Great responsive staff. Nice modern condition. Tatami sitting area in the room and Shioji paper screens with black out blinds. Well stocked cafe and bar. Only 5 minutes walk from the station. Very convienient to catch buses. Held our baggage before check in time due to arriving early. And delivered it to our room before we returned for final checkin. Great place and highly recommended on my second trip to Kyoto.
