Guesthouse Kyoto Abiya
4.5/58 Reviews
Kawaramachi/Karasuma/Omiya
Oh my God. What a pleasant stay I had in this most comfortable, cozy, clean and friendly guest house. The owner, Mrs. Hidemi, and her children, Yukari and Suguru, are simply too nice to describe. First of all, the hosts: Hidemi (Amei), Yukari, and Suguru. Secondly, the place is super clean and very comfortable. Thirdly, the facilities are superb; including DIY laundry, fridge, etc. Fourtly, it is located in Nakagyo neighborhood, which is hip and cool with galleries, cafes, small restaurants, convenience stores, pubs, onsen, around the corner from the Imperial Palace. They go out of their way to make sure you are well taken care of. They offer all kinds of tourism information. This is the place to stay in Kyoto.
Hyatt Place Kyoto
4.7/5490 Reviews
Kawaramachi/Karasuma/Omiya
Hotel is conveniently located next door to a subway station. It is a few stops from Kyoto station. There are many stairs and no escalator or elevator when you exit the subway so not the best when you have luggage. Front desk’s staff English is quite limited, which surprised me given that Hyatt is an American chain and most guests were American while we were there. There are two Nespresso coffee machines in the lobby but no milk. There are three laundry machines on the lobby level. Each machine serves as both a washer and a dryer and takes 120 minutes for 600 yen. People lock their load with a code and you end up waiting for a long time waiting for someone to show up to remove their laundry. Room is tiny, the size of a closet. Our room had two twin beds and a sofa bed for a single person. There is no room to move. There are no sheets in the room so we called to ask for sheets. The person who answered the phone did not know what sheets mean so we had to go to the lobby and describe what we need. The language barrier is real. Our room was on top of a road and we could hear almost every car that went by. It does not seem like the hotel invested in good windows. Make sure to pack ear plugs. The bathroom is quite small and has a weird setup with a shower next to a bathtub. Front desk staff is also not helpful with recommendations for places to eat. They show you a barcode that lists restaurants, but do not provide recommendations. We found an excellent Indian restaurant very close to the hotel. You exit the hotel and turn to the right towards the subway, pass the dry cleaners and cross the street, you will see a mini-mart and then a basement with an Indian restaurant. They open at 5 pm for dinner. It is very inexpensive and delicious. I recommend the butter chicken and cheese nan. Front desk will print for you, there is a charge of 10 yen per page. There is no concierge and staff was too busy to respond to questions about how to get places, instead they offered a map. Breakfast gets busy so be sure to get there early. They offer rice, curry, soup, fish, fruit, bread, coffee, juices and more. The egg is extremely runny and when I asked the attendant if they have egg that is better cooked, she had no idea what I was saying. I would not stay here again because of not being able to communicate with staff and because the room is so small.
Oyado Ishicho

Kawaramachi/Karasuma/Omiya
Living in Japanese tatami, especially can experience, really tatami and solid wood sliding doors, paper paste. No breakfast, the front desk staff is very enthusiastic, although there is no Chinese, but very patient to communicate with us in Japanese and English, the hotel has a large bathhouse, you can go to the bath for free, experience the Japanese bathhouse. The good thing is that the location is near the residential area, and the inconvenience is that it is far from the subway station. Overall quite satisfactory.
Noku Kyoto
4.5/563 Reviews
Kawaramachi/Karasuma/Omiya
It is located 10 seconds on foot next to the subway, but it is a little disappointing that it is about 2 stops away from the downtown area. However, there are many restaurants around and it is quiet, so I recommend it. I asked for an unknown tax, but even when I inquired, the staff's English was poor, so I couldn't hear a proper explanation and just paid it (400 yen per night x 3 days). a bit disappointing. Everything else was good. The room is spacious and the bathroom is clean and well cleaned. The cafe on the 1st floor is also cute, so I recommend a visit because the atmosphere is good.
Hotel Monday Kyoto Marutamachi
4.3/558 Reviews
Kawaramachi/Karasuma/Omiya
Stayed for one night on a trip to Kyoto. Few minutes walk from Animé museum where there was a nice cafe which did a couple of veggie options ( very rare in Japan) 5 minutes walk from the palace and beautiful gardens well worth a visit. 93 bus round the corner will take you to the Bamboo forest about 40 mins drive. 20 mins walk to anywhere else or get the metro just across the road. Rooms nice very new. I went with my 2 adult daughters and 1 had to sleep on the sofa bed which she found uncomfortable. Bathroom lovely. Breakfast ok bit strange from a westerner point of view but a few veggie options. Staff all nice woul recommend for sightseeing in Kyoto without spending too much. Vegetarians may want to try the Engine Noodle bar if you don't mind a long wait
Toki・Nijo Aki
3.1/52 Reviews
Kawaramachi/Karasuma/Omiya
The lobby in the introduction photo is on the second floor, but the room is on the ground floor. You have to go outside to get there, which is very inconvenient. There is no TV in the room. There is already a car parked in front of the front room, so self-driving tours basically cannot park it again.
