Kyoto Hotels with Free Parking.

The Kamo River is so beautiful, and watching the sunset right from my window was incredibly relaxing. The Mizuki restaurant was also delicious, and the staff were professional, friendly, and very attentive. I definitely want to stay here again next time; I can't get enough of it!

Our stay here was absolutely fantastic! The hotel's environment is beautiful, the room was clean and comfortable, and all the staff were incredibly warm and polite. The overall atmosphere was very relaxing, and the attention to detail made us feel right at home. The hot springs and the hotel's scenery, in particular, are definitely worth experiencing; it was such a blessing to be able to truly relax here during our busy trip. My family thoroughly enjoyed this stay, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely choose to stay here again if we're in the area in the future. Highly recommended!

I love how clean the hotel is. The interior room design and the advanced toilets were all brilliant. My family and I got the triple room (with 3 beds) and it did not feel cramped at all. The air conditioning and lighting as well as alarms could all be controlled through their iPad. They have daily room cleaning and metal bottles, tea bags, mugs, kettles and a blow dryer. The hotel is also in the downtown location, very convenient to get to popular places. Lastly I love how eco friendly the hotel seems. I am a person who loves to prioritize green. This hotel seems to as well. If I ever come back to Kyoto, I will choose this again.

The service was really mediocre. I specifically requested a room on the 9th floor a month in advance because it's near the Executive Lounge, meaning I wouldn't have to go up and down floors. However, they completely ignored my request, and when I asked, they simply said the hotel was full. When I checked in at night, I felt the front desk staff weren't very friendly either. The lobby is quite nice, and while the food at the Executive Lounge isn't extensive, the ambiance is decent. If the price difference isn't too much, definitely go for an Executive Lounge room. The room also had an unpleasant smell. The location is alright. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying for an extended period; it's more suitable for a one-night stopover.

The location is absolutely fantastic! It's just a 1-minute walk from Shijo Subway Station, making it super convenient to get to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Gion, and Kyoto Station. There are tons of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so shopping is a breeze. The hotel has just been renovated, so everything feels new. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and thoughtful touches like a humidifier and air purifier were provided. The front desk staff were friendly and offered free luggage storage. Overall, it's great value for money. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Kyoto and would definitely stay here again next time.

We stayed here for a family trip over Children's Day in May. Banyan Tree is such a renowned brand even in Korea, so I had high expectations when I booked our stay. However, we were hoping for a mountain view, but instead, we got a cemetery view – and on a dark, rainy night, it was quite enough to give us nightmares. If you're looking for a relaxing experience, like soaking in a Japanese cypress (hinoki) bathtub, you'll be satisfied, but I have to say the view was extremely disappointing. On the positive side, the Japanese tatami room vibe was very pleasing, and the aroma oil program at the spa was really interesting.

Exceptional Stay in Kyoto for the Whole Family! We had an outstanding stay at Hotel Nikko Princess Kyoto during our family trip. The location is ideal—situated in a quiet neighborhood yet only a short walk from Shijo and Karasuma stations, making it effortless to explore the city's top attractions. Unlike many typical, compact Japanese hotel rooms, the accommodation here was remarkably spacious, exceptionally clean, and comfortable, giving our family plenty of room to relax after a long day of sightseeing. The amenities were top-notch, and the beds guaranteed a restful night's sleep. What truly elevated our experience was the hospitality. The staff demonstrated true Japanese Omotenashi—always polite, attentive, and eager to assist with directions and luggage. The breakfast buffet was another highlight, offering a delicious variety of both authentic Japanese dishes and Western options. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base in Kyoto and would highly recommend it to any family or group visiting the city!

This is a venerable super five-star hotel with an excellent location, though it's a bit out of the city center, making it quite inconvenient for getting to sights, attractions, and dining. However, the hotel shuttle bus to Kyoto Station is a lifesaver. The hotel was renovated a few years ago, but it still retains its 40+ years of history and luxurious decor, now blended with modern, clean design elements. Charging facilities and hygiene are excellent. I would definitely stay here again!

It is a very nice hotel with attentive staff! The hotel is about a 7 minutes walk from Kyoto station. It’s a very convenient place to stay if you’re catching an early train or arriving from a late one. I don’t know if I’d recommend it for a longer stay since the area is quite boring. There’s plenty of restaurants and shops within the station but they’re very crowded and more expensive. It’s also quite far away from the main sights of Kyoto, so for a longer stay I’d recommend staying downtown. The included room amenities are good but nothing special. There’s shaving kits, towels, haircare, skincare, tea, water, and yukata robes (the robes are not souvenirs). There’s a pool, a spa area, and a restaurant, which all have an additional fee. My room was clean, but I found some scuff marks on the walls and a crack in my bathtub. From Kyoto station you can see Kyoto tower but it’s not an amazing sight hahaha. It takes about 25 minutes to downtown Kyoto from the hote

Kyoto Global Hotel Karasuma definitely has its pros and cons. To be honest, the cleanliness in the guest rooms could use some improvement; the dust in the corners and hair in the bathroom are a bit off-putting. However, beyond that, the value for money is absolutely incredible. The breakfast is a hearty Japanese set meal, and for dinner, you get to choose between a rice or noodle set. All this for a 200-yen room rate, including two meals – I don't know any other place that can beat that! The most impressive part is the large communal bathhouse with a sauna. Soaking in the hot water, which feels just like a natural hot spring, instantly melts away all your travel fatigue. The location is also fantastic; the Karasuma line is just a two- or three-minute walk away, making it convenient to get to Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Arashiyama. If you don't mind a few minor cleanliness issues, this is absolutely the king of value in Kyoto. I'll definitely choose it again next time I'm in town – because a good soak, a full meal, and a good night's sleep are the truest joys of travel.
