Hot spring Hotels in Kyoto

We recently spent 4 nights here and had a great experience overall. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The hotel's central location is very convenient, providing easy access to Kyoto's popular attractions. Although the room is a bit small, it’s was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. One of the standout features of this hotel is its stunning rooftop terrace overlooking the city, which was our favorite spot to unwind and relax at the end of each day. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Sora Niwa Terrace Kyoto to anyone visiting this beautiful city.

宝藏酒店！totally amazed by the hotel! A lot of pleasant surprises! Please try the buffet breakfast, it’s amazing! The hotel also provides free ramen, ice cream and drinks~ Having an ice cream after the hot spring is a total enjoyment！ Love this hotel very much！Wonderful service and welcoming stuffs~ Have recommended to my friends~！

I and my mother stayed there for one night 20000 yen per person, with dinner and breakfast. It was a very comfortable stay. This was more like a hotel, except that we needed to walk around without your own shoes (without getting dirty feet) inside. It was fully booked on that day. We had an earlier check-in, which mean that we could enjoy our relaxing private Onsen bath without standing in line. We also tried the large onsen baths later in the evening after a long walk in the beautiful Arashiyama area nearby. It was hot, but great. One of the baths was outside in a Japanese garden. We got warmed up from the inside out, and had an ice popsicle before we went up to our room for good nights rest. We also enjoyed a huge dinner and breakfast, true local cuisine with typical taste in Kyoto that supposed to be refined and ”delicate” - you shouldn´t expect any strong taste, and correctly cooked. This supposed to be a 3-star-hotel, but the amenity was completed. We didn´t miss anything here. We thought the staff at the front desk were not amazing, but definitely not poor. We didn´t need to deal with them so much as we had good information in written form. Everything was clean and pleasant. Had absolutely nothing to complain. We would definitely love to come back again. My rating is 4 - not more or less. I certainly see that they still have a room for improvement, but overall I didn´t personally understand all the poor reviews.

My wife’s birthday trip at the Suiran was a dream come true. With successive Covid cancellations, it took us four years of planning, but it was worth the wait. With their traditional Japanese structures and landscaping, the Suiran was our oasis of calm during Kyoto’s busiest season (cherry blossoms). We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and the best breakfasts of our lives in their dining room, and blissful riverside happy hours in their cafe. Our comfortable room had all the amenities, and a soothing minimalist aesthetic. The Suiran staff is spectacular: thoughtful, gracious, attentive. Through our years of planning and days of enjoyment, we were guided by Suiran’s chief concierge, Hiromi Maruyama. Her kindness, patience, and expertise added greatly to the success of our time in Kyoto. Her suggestions and insights, and good spirits were a beacon shining our way. We are indebted to her for her efforts on our behalf.

The best choice for a trip to Kyoto is to stay at the Aman Kyoto that I have always dreamed of. The Aman Hotel is hidden in a quiet forest, surrounded by greenery and a tranquil Zen atmosphere. This time I stayed in the Nara room. The room was very new. The large floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor provided great lighting. The sunlight shone through the window into the room, and the hurried trip slowed down. The most unforgettable thing was the smiling faces and warm and thoughtful service of every staff member during the stay! This time, I made an appointment for two days of dinner and afternoon tea in advance, both at the Living Pavilion. All the staff in the restaurant were very polite and the service was impeccable. The dishes were very delicate and delicious. Next time I come, I will try Takaan. It was a great stay experience. I will come in autumn next time!

The location was good, in the middle of Karasuma, close to Nishiki Market and Daimaru, and there were many nice shops nearby. There were chairs and a table in the room, and it felt clean and relaxing. The staff were also nice and had a good sense of distance. I went there by car, and the parking lot was conveniently located next door.It was 2,000 yen per night and you could use it until 3pm the next day, making it convenient for walking around town after checking out. I was able to relax at the spa by enjoying the large public bath at night and in the morning. I would like to stay there again when I go to Kyoto.

Overall, amazing stay at the Miyako Westin Kyoto. Great location (quite central but not in the hectic district of Gion, at the foot of the hills on the east side of the side), stones throw to most restaurants / places of interests. Immediately got upgraded to suite when checking in (Platinum Bonvoy member), great service and hospitality. Suite was beautiful with balcony and great view, 2 member of the reception went up and escorted us to the suite. Food was amazing! Great breakfast spread with Japanese and Western options (the croissants are to die for, probably the best I've ever had!). They also have a Japanese Kaiseki option for a more authentic experience Concierge was super helpful. They managed to book us a table at a 1 michelin star Kaiseki restaurant with one day notice (keep in mind that most places are booked out 1-2 months in advance and the concierge had to call 15+ restaurants to find us a table) There was also an in-house ”Onsen” (Japanese bath house) with over 2000 sqm indoor and outdoor hot pool. Amazing place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the city. Wonderful stay all in all and a definite stay again for future trips to Kyoto. Highly recommended!

This is my third time staying in Ala Hotel for my vacation. The first two times I came was with very good experience, everything was perfect. However, this time when I come, everything is different. The breakfast quality was not as good as the first time I came. The taste was not good, the food is not hot enough… For the Public Onsen, it was closed at 23:00, it was a little bit rush…and there is no one to clean the Onsen Area, rubbish was everywhere in the changing room and the cups were all used up and no one to refill the cups. So if you are thirsty after the Onsen, there is nothing to drink. We stayed in the room close to elevator, there is a smoking room next to it. So every night our room is very smelly …

The breakfast of DORMY INN is always the reason I choose to stay. I have been to the ones in Izumo and Himeji, each for twice. Still my favourite brand!

We stayed at Super Hotel Kawaramachi, Kyoto. The location is very near to the train station and the hotel is very clean, bright, modern and minimalistic. The counter check-in and self check-out is efficient, without troubles. Keypad entry into the room is convenient with no risks of misplacement of key. Clean towels in a black bag placed at the door ensures minimal disturbance to guests. Guests can then return the used towels in the same black bag and place them outside the door. If guests prefer their room to be done up, they can just put the sign at the door. Everything is efficient. Even though the toilet and bath area is small, it is very clean. But fat people may not be able to enter. The water is clean and their bathroom products are labeled organic. The breakfast spread is good enough and satisfying. The happy hour 6 pm - 8 pm with free flow of drinks is good for families to get together. The hot bath onsen facilities are also very good. Overall, even though the hotel room is rather small, we are happy with the facilities and the convenience of the location.
