Hotels near Karasuma in Kyoto

"Excellent stay, though the room was a bit small. The hotel lobby is clean and bright, the luggage storage area is well-organized, and the marble front desk has a high-quality feel. The overall atmosphere is warm and comfortable, and the service is very attentive. It was a great experience."

"After landing in Osaka, I took the Hello Kitty train directly to Kyoto Station. From there, I transferred to the Karasuma Line for two stops and exited from exit 4 (which has an elevator 🛗). Upon exiting, there's a 7-Eleven on the left, and the hotel is just a 2-minute walk further, up a long hallway to the second floor. The service in Kyoto is always excellent. I was able to find a good price before the May Day holiday. I've stayed at Mitsui before, but the location here is even better, with bus stops closer. Kiyomizu-dera, Arashiyama, and Kinkaku-ji are all just one stop away. The breakfast is traditional Kyoto style, light and delicious, and the elderly ladies serving were very polite. The front desk also provides a wide variety of toiletries."

"The hotel room was very clean, and the staff were friendly, professional, and polite throughout our stay. The location was also quite convenient, although it requires a short walk to the nearest subway station. Other than that, I was assigned one of the smaller corner rooms, so the space felt a little limited and there wasn’t much room to move around. The breakfast selection was also fairly limited. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would consider staying here again."

"First time in Kyoto. It's a bit of a walk from the bustling Shijo Kawaramachi commercial street, about 10 minutes on foot. However, it's quite close to the subway entrance, and Japan's underground passages are all connected, which is incredibly convenient for summer or rainy days – really impressed by their advanced design. Back to the hotel, I've stayed at this chain many times; it's very convenient. There's self-service laundry, and while it's not free like Atour, paying 400 JPY to avoid handwashing is totally worth it. It's just been renovated, so both the public facilities and rooms are very new. I always recommend booking newly opened hotels for a much better experience. The room isn't huge but perfectly adequate. The hotel breakfast is quite generous for a budget hotel, leaning Western, and surprisingly, they even have freshly cooked noodles. The desserts are excellent too; I'd rate the milk pudding and fruit jelly as top-notch. Just no fresh fruit, haha. Is paying 6000+ JPY for a night with breakfast for 2 adults and 1 child asking for too much? Haha."

"The front desk staff were very friendly, and the room was spacious, especially the bathroom, which was quite large. The hotel was also very clean, with daily housekeeping. Its central location, close to many malls and restaurants, is a big plus. I'd definitely book this hotel again."

"Traveling to Kyoto with friends and staying at this hotel was an excellent experience. The location is superb, making it easy to get to all the major attractions. The rooms were spotless, and the public hot spring was perfect for easing the fatigue from walking around all day. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and the facilities were complete and functional. I highly recommend this for anyone traveling with friends."

"The hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the subway exit, with several FamilyMart convenience stores nearby. The front desk staff are warm and polite, and there's a comfortable dining area in the lobby where you can heat up your own food and enjoy free-flowing coffee. The room is small but well-equipped, and the air conditioning is remarkably quiet."

"This was a truly satisfying hotel experience. I doubt I could find a hotel this good at this price point easily. The staff were incredibly friendly, which was a huge plus. The room was clean, and the bed was wonderfully soft and comfortable. There was also plenty of space to open my suitcase without any issues. The hotel's location was great, with many restaurants nearby and two supermarkets right around the corner, plus a convenience store. It was perfect for grabbing late-night snacks or drinks. However, if you're planning to walk back and forth to areas like Kawaramachi or Sanjo, it might be a bit of a stretch. I would definitely want to stay here again, even if the price remained the same or increased slightly."

"Room is relatively big comparing some other hotels. We were able to open two big suitcase without closing the walking path in the room which is very good thing. The pillows were ergonomic and everything in the room was super clean Location is amazing. It is walking distance to main shopping street. Also there is 24 hour open convenience store the other side of the street. There is also bus stops next to the hotel which makes it easy to travel around the cit"

"Karasuma Kyoto Hotel was overall a clean and comfortable place to stay 🏨✨ The hotel was well maintained, and the location was excellent 📍 It was very easy to access public transportation and explore Kyoto, which made the trip much more convenient 🚇🌸 The staff were polite and helpful, and the hotel had a calm and classic atmosphere 😊✨ However, one thing that was quite difficult for me was the room size. Even as a solo traveler, the room felt very small, and the bathroom was extremely tiny 🚿 The size of the bathroom was honestly uncomfortable and a bit frustrating during the stay. Overall, the hotel is clean and well located, and it’s not a bad choice. But because the room and bathroom were very small and slightly uncomfortable, I would probably choose a different hotel next time I visit Kyoto 🏨🌸"
