Hotels in Karasuma, Kyoto

Very convenient location. Close to station and many nice quaint eateries. Impressed with the size of the room and services rendered by the front desks. Perhaps can improve by providing a better illustration of the sightseeing attractions and types of foods available in the close proximities. Overall a very pleasant stay for me

I booked the hotel through a accommodations and bullet train package deal. It's located close to the Shijo subway station. The hotel is clean, staff friendly and helpful, and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included in the deal. I opted for the Japanese option. The food was good and fresh coffee was available. 宿泊込みの新幹線ツアーで当ホテルに宿泊しました。地下鉄の四条駅や繁華街に近く、コンビニもすぐそこにありました。 ホテルは清潔でスタッフは親切丁寧に対応下さいました。枕は堅かったですがベッド自体は寝心地が良かったです。 朝食付きのプランでして、和食か洋食を選ぶことができました。和食の豚汁が美味しかったです。

Convenient and fast check in. Clean room as expected of Japan standard. Bathtub was a plus because it's size is bigger than Japan bathtub size. Will book next time I will visit Kyoto.

The most satisfactory room in the entire trip to Japan. It is a chain brand, I had expectations, and it was in line with expectations. The location is also good, with convenient transportation. There is a breakfast shop opposite, convenience stores and supermarkets nearby.

First off, I’d like to call out the fact that this hotel just opening at the end of 2022, so everything is relatively new in the hotel and quite modern. The rooms are generous in space and not what you’re use to in most hotels in Japan. Even as a select service hotel, you’ll find a fitness center that rivals a full commercial gym and an on-site restaurant that offers food that you don’t normally expect in a hotel. The hotel also has washer/dryers on the bottom floor. There are 4 dual washer dryer machines that you can actually monitor from your in-room TV. Just go to Laundry Availability and it will tell you if there any washers available and how long it will take. Awesome feature so you don’t have to keep running back down to check. If you don’t mind a good walk like my wife and I, then this hotel is perfect for you since it’s location is minutes away from several key points of interest including Kyoto Station, Nishiki Market, the Gion district, Kyomizu-dera Temple, and the Kamo River. If you’re not really a walker, don’t fret as the Gojo train station is nearby as well as several bus routes.

advantage: The service is meticulous. The facilities in the hotel, hot springs, and the neighborhoods around the hotel have very detailed introductions and instructions in English. The hotel room also provides conversion plugs, which is very friendly to foreign tourists. If it is your first time to go to Japan, it will be very comfortable to have such a detailed introduction. The space is well set up. The hotel lobby and guest room area pass through a door that requires a swipe card. The hot spring is also in the guest room area, so you can stroll around in the guest room area wearing the yukata provided by the hotel. There is a small bathhouse. This experience is very Japanese, with a seated shower area and a large bath that is not too big. Carbonic acid is added to the water in the bath. After entering, many small bubbles will gather on the skin, which is very interesting. There are many independent dressing tables in the dressing area where you can sit and blow dry your hair. The whole place is not big, but it is very comfortable to use. The semi-buffet breakfast is exquisite. The buffet section is basically Japanese side dishes, salads, and desserts, and the set menu can be selected from Japanese or Western styles. The ones we chose were all Japanese, including a piece of grilled fish, miso soup, tamagoyaki, chawanmushi and various side dishes. The portions were not large, but one bite left and right made us full without realizing it. shortcoming: The only drawback is that it is a bit far from the subway station and dragging suitcases is a bit tiring. But the surrounding small streets are very easy to stroll around, with many interesting shops.

This is a terrific, small-ish hotel. The location is perfectly situated near Gion and the river so walking and taxi access is easy. (When Uber was too slow the reception clerk would actually go down to flag a taxi for us! Hard to get better service then that.) The room was spacious, beds very comfortable, the bathroom equipped with state-of-the-art everything. Breakfast was delicious though authentically Japanese so might not be for everyone from the cheerio’s for breakfast USA. Hotel aesthetic is super spare, clean, Kyoto comfortable. You can book this hotel with confidence.

Far from subway station but bus station is just across the street. Good, big room big bathtub. The biggest hotel we have stayed through Kyoto and Osaka. Just the lobby located at 2nd floor. Ice maker and free drinks available. Good. Better stay another area if u want shopping, quite far to walk

A very simple inn. There is no bath, but a shower that you can use to shower your whole body. There is no water boiler, so you cannot make coffee in the room. You get paper cups near the reception and use them at the sink. A simple free breakfast is included. However, after ordering, the call number is given in English, so it may not be suitable for elderly people who do not speak English. Most of the guests are foreigners. The rooms are quiet, so it is suitable for people who do not mind a simple inn. #The hotel name is not clearly displayed outside, so it is difficult to find where the hotel is.

Service: Excellent service from hotel staff, spoke English, accommodating, helpful and cheerful. Location : Quiet area, right next to a train station exit, convenient location. It is close to Kyoto Station by taxi ( approx 5-10 mins), located at an intersection and was easy to grab a taxi. It is not located that close to the main Kyoto shopping street, but it's just a peaceful 5-10 minutes walk away from the main stretch of shopping and food areas. Great to explore the quiet side of Kyoto. Lawson mart just opposite, the quiet lane opposite had lots of quaint cafes and bakeries. What a wonderful find just walking through the little lanes opposite. Away from tourists crowds, immersed in local Kyoto city vibes. Room style and space: Room furnishing decor colours were so soothing, stylish pale sage greens, light cream and oak, modern and pleasant , light cream tones. Fantastic huge single beds and pillows, fluffy and clean pillows, huge sofa, strong showers from rain shower in bathroom. Loved every corner in my corner room. Spacious work desk at the corner, perfect for a working business trip. The balcony flanked the entire room length.. absolutely wonderful.. sat outside on the balcony and people watched. Bathroom amenities and products included face and body moisturizers, combs etc, all wrapped in classic stylish Japanese style. Perks: We received daily vouchers which we could use for lounge cocktail hour (free flow great selections of wines, beers, sake, hot drinks etc drinks and snacks) or for high tea set in the lounge area. The lounge area was so cozy. Wonderful vibes. High tea set was amazing, provided by famous patissierie that's located in the hotel lobby. Wonderful chill experience just before we head out for daily dinners. Facilities: We checked out the mist room and onsen.. so clean and stylish. Felt like we were at a W hotel. Overall super fantastic experience, wonderful ambience, rooms were new, stylish and cleanliness was top notch. Property itself is very new and modern. Perfect for solo or couples. Very quiet (some traffic noise, but not a big deal), peaceful neighborhood, chic furnishings. I loved my stay in Nov so much, I will stay again in future. Downside: The rooms face a few offices opposite, windows are not coated with opaque film.. so just be aware and not walk around underdressed in the room in full view of opposite buildings. Windows are definitely see through! Nothing the day curtains can't fix.
