"I had the most wonderful stay in Kyoto at this charming hotel. It has the traditional Japanese feel, but doesn’t feel dated; they did a beautiful job with the interiors. Also I needed to send a bag to a residential address in Tokyo and since their partner only delivers to hotels, Julie went above and beyond to help me figure out the best way to do it on my own and she even filled the form in Japanese for me. I will most definitely be staying here again whenever I’m back in Kyoto."

Top Pontocho Alley Hotel Reviews

Oakwood Hotel Oike Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"I liked this hotel. It covers all the main necessities you might expect when traveling: a nice and clean room (the shower was great and clean), the responsive staff, a sufficient breakfast, a fairly convenient and quiet location. What I did not like was: 1. the non-transparent window in my room (I know there are rooms with transparent windows, but I was not in one of those). I understand it's probably for my own safety, but you cannot even see if it's raining or not. 2. Only one laundry and one dryer. For a 9-story hotel, it's not nearly enough. Also, it's worthy to note that most food choices are about 10-minute walk away."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room Staffs were pretty helpful Breakfast was alright, but not super good. Air conditioning was excellent. Going in August and the whole hotel was really cool."

Cross Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay for our family."

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji

8/10 Good

"Overall we loved the properties’ aesthetic and location. However, cleanliness could be improved. The white chairs had stain in them and the bedsheets had yellow stains. We notified them and the front desk came up and changed it for us promptly. We also told them about the yellow stains on the chair. Afterwards, we also noticed some dried gum/fruit pit on the floor, in between the bed and the wall. In general, we would still come back to this location as it’s very close to our connecting train back to Osaka."
