Hotels With Breakfast in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is really close to the train station. After exiting the station, you just take the escalator up to the second floor, walk across the massive station, then come back down to the ground level, cross one road, and you're there. The bus station is also right by Kyoto Station, so it's quite convenient for getting around. The room itself was pretty spacious; I could fully open my 26-inch suitcase without an issue. Most of the usual disposable toiletries were provided, though you had to ask the front desk daily for toothpaste, otherwise, they wouldn't replenish it. I'm not sure if we just weren't aware, but our room wasn't cleaned once during our three-night stay, though thankfully we didn't have much trash to dispose of. Overall, I was satisfied with the stay, and the self check-in via machine was super convenient.

This hotel offers an excellent overall experience. The rooms are clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and good soundproofing, ensuring a quiet night's rest. The front desk staff are warm and efficient, making check-in and check-out smooth. The location is convenient, with many dining and transportation options nearby. The breakfast selection is extensive and consistently good. It's great value for money, suitable for both business trips and leisure stays. I would definitely choose it again.

Facilities: Well-equipped, spacious room with a cozy wooden design. Hygiene: Very clean, and the bathroom is large. Environment: Very close to the subway station, and the surrounding area is quiet. Service: Very welcoming, and they even gave us a small gift.

This hotel far exceeded my expectations. That day, I traveled all the way from Wakkanai after visiting Cape Soya, then flew from Chitose Airport to Osaka, and finally arrived in Kyoto. I was incredibly exhausted, both mentally and physically. Beyond the usual tea bags and shower gel found in Japanese hotels, this place offered premium amenities like bath salts. But the best part was that this hotel has a 'power on' system for the room key! This meant I could leave the room with my card, and the electricity wouldn't shut off! You could also tell the local environment was pretty good; the birds on the street weren't afraid of people at all. They'd walk right next to the sidewalk, and wouldn't fly away even when people passed by.

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Station: During autumn, they have a display in the lobby showing the fall foliage status of several temples, along with the day's weather. The rooms are decent, and it's not too far from Kyoto Station, but there's no public bath. You can pick up complimentary toiletries by the elevators. Staff greetings are a hit or miss. The biggest downside is breakfast; it's quite poor compared to other Mitsui hotels, with limited choices and average taste.

I want to share my gratittude to mitsui hotel staff & the services they provided. They provide good hospotality when we reach and they found out we come with a family of three, they even upgrade our room to 3 single beds room which make our stay even more comfortable during our trip to Kyoto! The room is clean and the Japanese Hot Shower bath they provided is really a good cultural experience for us as a foreign tourist. Their location is also spot on when you want to travel around in kyoto with walking distance bus stop which will brings you all around the hot spots of kyoto. Will definitely visit them again if we travel to kyoto.

A very standard Fresa Inn. If you're a member, you can check in at 2 PM and check out at 12 PM. The room is more than enough for one person, and all the amenities are provided. The staff's English is quite good, and they even have a handheld translation device. Exiting the hotel, turn right, and you'll find Exit 4 of Shijo Subway Station, with a very convenient elevator entrance. Turn left, and you're at Daimaru Department Store. To go to Osaka, you can take the Hankyu Railway directly, no need to go to Kyoto Station first. Fresa Inn is my favorite business hotel brand in Japan, highly recommended!

The room isn't small and the location is excellent, making it really convenient for getting around and dining. We stayed for two nights and opted out of housekeeping, but the hotel thoughtfully hung fresh towels on our door, which was a very nice touch.

Extremely satisfied, this hotel offers great value for money. For someone with a bit of a潔癖 (germophobia), the overall environment was clean and tidy. The room wasn't small (the double bed allowed access from both sides), there was a bathtub (though I didn't have time to use it), and the bathroom design was well-thought-out (separate wet and dry areas, convenient for two people to use simultaneously). Public facilities included a water dispenser, coin-operated washing machine, and a public bath 👍. The hotel lobby has a convenience store, and it's right next to a JR station (convenient for visiting Arashiyama and just one stop from Kyoto Station). There are also bus stops nearby, which was incredibly convenient; I took the bus back to the hotel from Shijo every day. Highly recommend it; I'd probably choose this place again on my next trip to Kyoto.

Stayed at the Mitsui Garden Hotel Kawaramachi Jokyoji from 20-24 Dec. This was my 2nd stay there in 2 consecutive months, despite there being hundreds of hotels in Kyoto.  Location:  the hotel is located in the city center with Nishiki Market and Teramachi indoor shopping street located very closeby. Kawaramachi is also a big commercial street lined with plethora of shops and malls.  Train stations within walking distance.  Hotel Facilities and Amenities:  this is a very beautiful hotel next to a temple (and small cemetery). The rooms are exemplary clean and quite spacious for Japan’s standard. Many facilities such as a public onsen, on-site restaurant, vending machine, ice machine, etc. No gym, which is not a big deal at all if you are in Kyoto for a short tourist visit.  You will be doing a lot of walking anyway if you choose to.   I only visited the on-site restaurant for dinner once. The food was okay, but nothing to write home about. Service staff was accommodating (I had to use a wheelchair at the time); however, service was lackluster otherwise.   Hotel staff service:  cannot praise the service by the hotel staff enough. This time around, I had injured my foot and couldn’t walk for 2 days. I was touched by the staff’s incredible kindness - they went out of their way to really help me out. Overall:  if you want city center location with easy access to modern shops and an array of restaurants within walking distance, big and super clean room, and great hospitality,  I’d highly recommend this hotel.
