I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kyoto; it was so comfortable. The room isn't huge, but considering space is at a premium in Japan, it was still a very decent size."

Hotel near Kawaramachi/Karasuma/Omiya,Kyoto
No. 7 of Luxury Hotels in Japan
The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto sits on the banks of the Kamogawa River—a site favored by Japanese nobility since the 17th century—offering sweeping views of the magical Higashiyama Mountains. This urban resort features 134 guest rooms and suites with distinctive Japanese motifs, four restaurants and bars, authentic Japanese cuisine, and a spa for the ultimate rejuvenation.

"A Truly Exceptional Stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto Our family had a wonderful experience at The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto, and we left with nothing but gratitude and happy memories. From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless and heartfelt — the kind of genuine hospitality that makes a trip feel truly special. A huge thank you to Cecilia and Vinnie from the Guest Experience team, who went above and beyond to make our stay seamless and comfortable. Their warmth, attentiveness, and thoughtful gestures made us feel incredibly welcomed. A very special shout-out to Cecilia, who noticed my daughter’s love for Winnie the Pooh after our visit to Disneyland Resort. She prepared a beautiful card, a sweet message, and even a handmade Pooh origami and placed it in our room. It absolutely made our daughter’s day — such a thoughtful touch we will never forget. We also want to commend Yuki from the restaurant team for his warm and wonderful breakfast service each morning. His kindness and attention to detail set the perfect tone to start our day. The Ritz Kids adventure passport was a delightful surprise — engaging not only for our daughter but also enjoyable for us as parents. And of course, we loved the festive Christmas atmosphere, especially the beautiful Christmas tree and the amazing gingerbread house with the incredible aroma that filled the lobby. The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto truly exceeded our expectations in every way. We felt cared for, welcomed, and genuinely appreciated. We can’t wait to return again. Highly recommended for families and anyone seeking an unforgettable Kyoto stay."

Hotel near Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao,Kyoto
No. 12 of Luxury Hotels in Japan
The HOSHINOYA Kyoto is an ideal spot for travelers wanting to discover the city. The HOSHINOYA Kyoto offers a pleasant stay in Kyoto for those traveling for business or leisure. Arashiyama Station is located approximately 700m away from this hotel. There is no shortage of things to see in the area, with the Kurumazaki Shrine, Kyoto Bike Tour - The Bamboo Forest & Arashiyama and Arashiyama Bamboo Forest all nearby. At the end of a busy day, travelers can unwind and relax in the hotel or go out and enjoy the city. For those driving themselves, parking is provided on site.

"I am from Yangzhou, Jiangsu. Although Yangzhou is a garden city, there are many such style escape hotels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hongxi Noya of Hoshino Group is definitely worth living. The overall health is very good, the facilities are well maintained and there is no musty smell. That is, all the windows can be wiped clean. This time I checked in in the evening. When I took a taxi, I saw the sunset of Lushan, which was a value-added item. The reception staff was very polite and welcoming. At night, the girl was invited to drive us to the hotel entrance. This road was too standard, almost standing on the mountain, and there was a feeling of adventure. When I checked out, I felt the ship of Hoshino. By the way, I recommend the dyeing workshop and Zhai Pavilion are diagonally opposite. If you like the scenery, it is worth seeing."

"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."

Japanese breakfast was also nice. Overall a good experience, we had a room facing the street which was not ideal, I would recommend to book a room facing the garden or the castle."

We chose a large corner room with windows on both sides. The hotel building has a history of more than 200 years. The location is great. It is right at the entrance of Kiyomizu Temple Commercial Street. It is quiet in the bustling city. The hotel is very quiet and elegant, with high-end decoration, complete facilities and excellent service! Breakfast is served in a library-style restaurant, which is very special. I highly recommend Japanese breakfast. Everyone thinks it is high-end Japanese cuisine when they post it on WeChat Moments. There are also vegetarian and children's meal options for breakfast. I also strongly recommend the window seat in the executive lounge. Drink Japanese tea or Japanese whiskey in the afternoon and look at the quaint buildings outside. It is worth the effort!

The most delightful accommodation during my trip to Kyoto was undoubtedly Kyoto Ei-Kamo-i. From its location and room views to its amenities and attentive service, it completely exceeded my expectations, unlocking a truly wonderful slow-paced Kyoto travel experience. The location is incredibly convenient. From Kyoto's bustling Shijo district, it's just two subway limited express stops and three semi-express stops to Demachiyanagi Station. Exiting from Exit 3, crossing the bridge over the Kamo River, it's a leisurely four-minute walk to the hotel. A tranquil retreat away from the city's hustle and bustle yet still easily accessible – its location is a huge plus. What truly captivated me was the room layout and views. The rooms were incredibly spacious, open, and airy. The living room directly faced the stunning Kamo River scenery, with two massive sliding glass walls that allowed you to immerse yourself in nature. A gentle breeze, the fresh scent of greenery, and unobstructed views – every step revealed a picturesque vista. The hotel's amenities were high-end and comprehensive, creating a truly homey atmosphere. Equipped with a large island counter, induction cooker, microwave, and washer-dryer combo, it's incredibly convenient for daily living and simple cooking. It also boasts sophisticated amenities like a coffee machine, milk frother, and Bose speakers, showing attention to detail. Completely devoid of the cramped feeling of a typical hotel, it felt like staying at home in a foreign land, incredibly relaxing. The gentle, soothing scenery of the Kamo River outside the window added a touch of charm, prompting us to change our travel plans and forgo the rush of sightseeing. We spent the whole day relaxing at home, brewing tea and coffee, quietly enjoying afternoon tea, immersing ourselves in the laid-back, leisurely pace of Kyoto life – truly therapeutic and comforting. Furthermore, the hotel's attentive service deserves special mention; it was a huge plus. On our late arrival night, around 8 PM, the weather was slightly chilly, and staff members Leo and Xiao Du were waiting patiently at the hotel entrance, instantly making us feel warm and welcome. Many of the staff were Chinese, ensuring seamless communication and prompt responses; they truly catered to our every need, providing meticulous and heartwarming service. Overall, the stay was perfect. The view was stunning, the room was spacious, the facilities were complete, the transportation was convenient, and the service was attentive. During my trip to Kyoto, I was able to avoid the crowds and enjoy a leisurely vacation. I will definitely choose Ei-Kamo Residence again next time, where I can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Kamo River.

Our experience at Six Senses Kyoto was truly wonderful. As a new hotel opened in 2024, it exudes an elegant Japanese Zen style, and the public courtyard is particularly photogenic. The room was spacious enough at 42 square meters, and the attention to detail was impeccable. The breakfast selection was rich, offering both local Kyoto flavors and Western options, and the quality of the food was excellent. Its location isn't far from Gion and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, making it very convenient for sightseeing. The only slight downside is that it's a bit of a distance from the subway, so I'd recommend taking a taxi for getting around. The service was meticulous and attentive, making for a very relaxing stay overall, perfect for those looking to slow down and enjoy a holiday.

We stayed at Cuilan when we just got married 10 years ago, which left us with very good memories. We revisited the place 10 years later. Thank you for the special arrangements that were full of surprises and love. Whether it was accommodation or meals, everything was exquisite and elegant! Thank you very much for the upgraded service and special decoration! Thank you again! We will definitely go again!
