Hotels in Higashiyama Ward

"Exceptionally clean room, pleasant staff, nice view from room, close to shopping area!"

"Breakfast was awesome. The hotel has private spas you can rent by the hour and a foot bath in the garden. All the staff is super friendly. The hotel is outside of the crazy busy areas but is literally a 15 minute walk to the heart of Kyoto. I definitely recommend this hotel. "

"I'm so happy that we picked this hotel. While not the least expensive place in Kyoto, it was definitely worth the money spent. Our room was not facing the street, so bear that in mind since it is located on a busy street. The room was very quiet and very clean. We had a three bed hotel room and they provided a sleepshirt/yukata for each member of the family. The bathroom very clean and had one of the Toto bidet seats which was a plus for my wife. The room itself was pretty roomy for a Japanese hotel. The staff was extremely helpful. My limited Nihongo would have been issue, but fortunately several of the staff spoke English. The big plus was that the hotel had a European style bakery (Cicon), so you could have a light breakfast and coffee. The baguette was nice. They also have some unique Japanese flavored breads for sale. If you're adventurous, go for it. There is also a rooftop bar, but it was busy the time we visited so we didn't get a chance to sit up there. There is a self paid laundry on site. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the Kiyomizu temple and a 7 minute walk to the Kyomizu-Gojo subway station, so your tourist spots are very walkable via the local transportation. Oh, btw, there is a nice India/Bagladeshi restaurant called Chakra around the block. The owner speaks english and we had a great conversation with him."

"It was a very good choice"

"Worth a stay! Great location-close to many restaurants and shopping, and close subway access to all the key sites (as well as from/to Kyoto)."

"Great location - and right next to the crazy crowded tourist areas, easily accessible to them. Staff are great. Iwamoto-san, concierge, really helped make my stay great. Gave good advice on restaurants and made reservations. There are a lot of mediocre restaurants and with her help I ate only in really good ones (not necessarily expensive!). Parking in the basement very convenient. Kyoto is one city where having a car is great. They also have a free shuttle bus. I’ll stay here again."

"The room has a carpet and smells so bad. Excellent location."

"We loved the spa and the rooms. The service, bar, and restaurants were impeccable. The tours scheduled for us were fantastic! Highly recommended "

"Since they were eco-friendly the rooms were never cleaned, the trash was never removed and clean towels were left outside your door. "
