Cheap Hotels in Kyoto

"The hotel's location is super convenient; it's just a few minutes to Kyoto Station, whether you're heading to a tourist spot or catching the Shinkansen. However, make sure to confirm the correct exit from Kyoto Station beforehand – I went the wrong way the first time without navigation. Each floor has a water dispenser, ice maker, and vending machine, which is very handy."

"I stayed in a room for two people as a solo traveller because there wasn't the option to pay for only one person. The bed was okay and the amenities were basic. The location is excellent but I think there are better and cheaper options available for solo travellers."

"This hotel is in a great location nearly next to Nishiki Market. Around the hotel is very quiet. The room we received was facing the graveyard, I’m not sure why there are so many negatives reviews about it but we had no problems with it. No ****** visited us😋😅 The bed was very spacious but a little hard. The pillows were also quite hard so we woke up sore a few times… overall the room was very clean and amenities were available downstairs if needed like toothbrush or qtips. The staff were very kind and brought our luggage to our room before we arrived through luggage forwarding. After check out, they also allowed us to store it in the back for a few hours."

"We loved our stay here! We got 4 rooms for 8 people in our family. There is a connector in the ground floor to 7/11 which was the best! We just go down for midnight snacks and breakfast! Lovedddd the foods there. Also the staffs there were very accommodating, friendly, and helpful! We arrived early and they had a FREE luggage storage; they also have a free bread and coffee for breakfast. I loved their lobby there too, it has fun and creative designs. As for the room, it is just right and perfect. The space is really maximize, and the double room was really good for 2. There is a mini refrigerator, a tv, a good enough cr, and comfortable bed. Also you don't need to worry about the luggage space, because you can push it under the bed! Overall, I recommend this hotel to you guysss!! Oh yeaa, the location too was perfect. It was near to a station HEEHEE!!"

"Smile Hotel Kyoto Karasumagojo was a great budget-friendly stay in Kyoto. The location is excellent, right next to Gojo Station and within walking distance of Kyoto Station. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were clean, and the free coffee was a nice touch. Rooms are a bit small, but that’s common in Japan and still comfortable for a short stay. Overall, great value for money and I’d stay again."

"Our stay at this hotel in Japan was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with incredible warmth and flawless hospitality, perfectly embodying the spirit of omotenashi (mindful hospitality). The room was spotlessly clean, beautifully blending modern comfort with elegant Japanese design touches. We especially loved the attention to detail, from the high-quality amenities to the peaceful atmosphere that offered a perfect retreat after a long day of exploring. The location was also incredibly convenient, making transit a breeze. We couldn't have asked for a better home base and will definitely stay here again!"

"I've stayed at this hotel twice now, and its location right inside Kyoto Station is incredibly convenient. You don't really hear any train noise either, which is great. The rooms and overall environment are excellent. My only minor complaint is that the front desk staff seemed a bit perfunctory."

"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."

"Great hotel room, spacious and comfortable . Beds were soft and the toilet was big with two separate places to shower , sink and the toilet itself . Remember to close the window of the bathtub otherwise people can see you taking a shower (even it is far distance).  The onsen was great with sauna, cold onsen, outdoor natural hot springs and indoor.  The negative point is that every floor they have smoking área and the smell of cigarette was in my room every night . We had to turn on the a/c and the air purifier and in the next day ask staff to keep the windows opened for ventilation . The location is privileged just ten minutes walking from the train station.   There are supermarkets nearby and it is quite convenient to eat around , with meals of all ranges of prices ."

"I had a great stay at this hotel, especially as a manga fan. The room was clean, and I received fresh towels every day. Amenities such as toiletries could be picked up from the reception area, which was very convenient. The hotel also provides complimentary drinks 24/7, including water, coffee, and tea. There is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel with buses that go straight to Kyoto Station, and the nearest subway station is about a 10-minute walk away. The famous Nishiki Market is around a 20-25 minute walk from the hotel, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. There is also a convenience store right next to the hotel and a supermarket within a short walking distance, making it very easy to grab snacks, drinks, or anything else you might need. Popular attractions such as Nijō Castle and Kyoto Imperial Palace are also within walking distance. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto."
