Romantic Hotels in Kyoto

"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."

"Had a perfect stay at Tennen Osaka Onsen during our Kyoto trip. The hotel is clean, modern, and comfortable while still retaining some traditional Japanese elements in the room design, which gives it a unique and authentic atmosphere. The water pressure was excellent, and the complimentary onsen facilities were fantastic, with several different pools available to enjoy. One of the highlights was the generous complimentary offerings, including free-flow ramen and ice cream, which were a lovely bonus after a long day of sightseeing. The breakfast deserves special mention — it was absolutely outstanding. There was a huge variety of choices, all freshly prepared and delicious. The staff continuously refilled the food, ensuring everything remained fresh throughout service. The quality of the ingredients was impressive, and guests could enjoy unlimited freshly fried tempura and fresh seafood poke bowls, which felt more like a premium restaurant experience than a hotel breakfast. Overall, an exceptional stay with excellent facilities, amazing food, and great value. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Kyoto."

"The room was spacious and clean, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a great view. The hotel's location is excellent; it's just a skywalk away from JR Umekoji-Kyotonishi Station, and only one stop (3 minutes) from Kyoto Station. Regarding the JR HARUKA e-ticket from Kansai Airport to Kyoto: you can scan the QR code at an automatic ticket machine to exchange it for a single-journey ticket, which saves you around 3000 yen. The hotel breakfast is extensive and worth trying. There's also an open-air observation deck on the top floor with sofas, which is nice for enjoying the night view."

"The hotel is in a great location. The room is nice and very clean, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. located close to the metro, train station and the main street. The reception staff wasn't very welcoming or friendly, which was a bit of a disappointment. A nice breakfast selection, but not a very good menu selection. Even when I asked for the spiciness to be turned down, they still brought me very spicy dishes."

"This resort-style hotel is just one train stop from Kyoto. It's super convenient, literally a one-minute walk from the station exit. Plus, there's a park, a railway museum, and the Kyoto Aquarium right next to it. For sightseeing, the bus stop for Kinkaku-ji is a 3-minute walk away, and for Kiyomizu-dera, it's 7 minutes – great location overall! We had two adults and one child, and the room was quite spacious for Japan, with three beds. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area and a bathtub. The breakfast was generous, and they even had a large public bath."

"The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from Kyoto Station (depending on your luggage size and amount). It's incredibly convenient for exploring various attractions from Kyoto Station, which also offers a wide array of shopping and dining options. The hotel's service and cleanliness are outstanding. You can pick up disposable amenities yourself from the right-hand corner of the lobby, facing the front desk. Both the hot spring bath and the laundry/drying room are located on the 10th floor."
