Kyoto Brighton Hotel

Kyoto Brighton Hotel

Nishijin Kyoto|1.5km from Seiwain
Located a few minutes walk to the Imperial Palace is this hotel. This area is considered to be a ”quiet zone” so there is a minimal commercial activity. There are very few restaurants and the closest convenience stores are a block or two away. If you ever watched movies like Die Hard or In the Line of Fire, you remember scenes in a hotel with a large indoor atrium with glass elevators. All the room doors face the open atrium. That is exactly what the design of this hotel is like. All the amenities are on the ground floor or below. As for the rooms. For Japan, these rooms are quite large. It would be comfortable for international visitors who are used to larger rooms. The amenities are not branded but of higher quality. There are three areas for parking. Ground level, basement, and outdoor. While checkout is at noon, you get complimentary parking until 3 pm. We choose this hotel for this feature. Allows you to spend the day exploring without worrying about the expensive street parking costs. There is a taxi stand with taxis until about 10 pm. There are five restaurants, be fair warned, all are quite pricy. There are two breakfast options. If you want a traditional Japanese breakfast, you go to the Japanese restaurant Hotaru. If you want a ”western” breakfast, there is a buffet at the Terrace restaurant. We were not interested in seeing the nightlife but wanted to be close to the Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle. This hotel was perfect for our needs. Would recommend without hesitation.
Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa
4.6/550 Reviews

Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa

Nijo Castle Kyoto|1.97km from Seiwain
We were a group of 6 people staying at the Hotel Mitsui on a trek through Japan. Suffice it to say, that the group was all pleased that we stayed here. Our initial check in process was a bit bumpy (no tea service) as it was clear everyone was checking into the hotel for a holiday weekend. However, within 30 minutes, we were all on our way to our rooms. Overall, the hotel and the rooms are designed in muted tones and a modern zen vibe. Where other hotels would simply have drywall covered with pictures, the Mitsui has clearly thought about every surface. We were in a room that looked out to the central garden, which is beautiful. The room had a nice long marble bench at the entrance which was nice for putting shoes on or setting things down to pack / unpack. Further in the room, there is a bar area, desk area and a nice long padded bench by the window. Controls for the room are near the bed and you can dim lights or raise and lower blinds with ease. The bathroom is a very clever design with two pocket door entrances, offering a closet area, double sink, a wet room with tub and shower and rom for the toilet. The room for the toilet is wide and very peaceful. Of course, it comes with the fancy Toto Neorest toilet that raises and lowers the seat automatically, has a heated seat, has a bidet feature and more. The shower offers both a hand held and a rain head that with a fine spray. Bathroom toiletries are crafted for the Hotel Mitsui. Of course, robes were available (just ask if you need a different size). Let’s talk about sleeping…. The bed was among the most comfortable that I have ever tried (firm, with just the right amount of softness). Down pillows and a duvet complete the scene. And course, should you not like your pillow, there is a pillow menu. The rooms at the Mitsui are quiet with blackout shades. At night, gentle nightlights illuminate the path to the bathroom. In all, the sleep experience is well thought out and devine. One of the stand out features of the hotel would be the Thermal Springs in the basement. The Thermal Springs are a modern version of a traditional Japanese onsen. Access is open to everyone in the hotel, but the number of people permitted in is managed to in more than 14 people at a time. You have to call ahead to make sure there is space, but in our case, we were always able to get in. Anyone who out touring in Kyoto, should make time in their busy schedule to visit the Thermal Springs between their tours and dinner - it is a great way to wash off the city and relax before dinner - very civilized. This review is particularly fun for me as our stay at the Mitsui ultimately caused us to break up with our travel agent. He was SO insistent that we stay at the Ritz , he could not imagine trying something new like the Mitsui (nor was he willing o have his team check it out). In the end, I feel vindicated, we loved our stay at the Mitsui and would happily return

Resi Stay Nishijin
4.3/513 Reviews

Resi Stay Nishijin

Nijo Castle Kyoto|0.3km from Seiwain
We had mixed reviews of this accomodation Pros - was a very large room two small doubles and a bunk perfect for families. Amenities are great with wifi, lots of kitchen utensils, stove, tea and coffee supplied, toothbrushes available, washing machine and tablets are provided with an inbuilt dryer system in the bathroom. Bathroom and shower area was also spacious. Beds are on the okay side but could be softer. The area itself is nice and quiet with a bus stop right out from we utilised every day, supermarket and Lawsons are across the road and you feel very safe. Would recommend for families. Cons - check in is in a different location 20minute taxi away so we had to catch a train to the check in office when arriving in Kyoto from Osaka, then a taxi to the accomodation after this which chewed up a few hours as we had to wait 45min in addition to check in due to busyness of the office. The area is a bit out of the way of everything next time I might consider staying at a different resi stay location closer to sights and facilities like shops etc. All the restaurants in the area seem to not open for breakfast until 11am so we had to have McDonald’s if we didn’t want to cook or travel too far for breakfast as we have a toddler (early riser). Same occurred at dinner time a lot of restaurants didn’t seem to be open the Monday or Tuesday we were there or opened too late for us (we travelled with a four year old). Our last disappointment was resi stay apparently have a strict not noise at night policy however another room partied until about 3am but there is no front desk or after hours phone number to call to complain / get the noise to stop. Was very frustrating as walls were very thin so we didn’t sleep very well. Overall we would stay with Resi Stay again but at another location due to Nishijin being a bit too out of the way for us.

The hardware aspect of the inn is perfect.  It can't be helped that the maple leaves in the courtyard haven't turned red due to the climate and location, but I wish they had at least picked the brown and withered leaves. All of the staff who assisted us were foreigners, but I wonder if there are no Japanese staff stationed there full-time. Even if you give your name at check-in, it cannot be checked against the reservation list (I told you that you are third from the top of the list). I made a reservation that included breakfast, but I was only booked for the night (the check-in sheet said ”room only”, so I pointed this out and discovered the error). When I requested a luggage delivery service to deliver to my next hotel (in Osaka), I was told that they could only deliver to Osaka Station (the list of internet and in-room services also said that delivery to the hotel was possible). When I pointed this out, they called the delivery company to confirm and accepted the order.Even at that time, they did not tell me the name of the hotel in Osaka.The price was different from what was listed in the room list ( The price had gone up)). Breakfast is a normal Makunouchi bento. etc. I wanted to experience the atmosphere of Kyoto, so I decided to stay at a fairly expensive hotel, but I was disappointed.

Because the reservation was too late, only the 4-bed female dormitory can be booked. The one who arrives at the station at 10 pm, in particular, this can only be reached directly by bus. Take the B205 and B208 at Shichijo Ozenmachi Station. You can definitely reach the hotel within 5 minutes on foot. , I would like to remind you that there are A205, B205, C205 and D205 buses in Kyoto. You must go to B205 or B208 to get on the bus. I was delayed for 30 minutes at Kyoto Station because of this. The bus I took did not have a stop screen. I can only Google, but I still take one more stop. I am very grateful to the proprietress Ma Ma. I walked back and forth four times to pick me up at 10:30 in the evening, because the first time I thought I was in Shichijo Ozenmachi, it turned out to be Mama. I didn't see me in the past, only to find that I was sitting one more stop, but Mama still let me stay where I was and came to pick me up. I arrived at the hotel soon and I saw the cozy lounge area surrounded by books at first sight. It was really amazing. The 235 RMB was very worthwhile. After checking in, Mama’s husband helped me carry the suitcase. On the second floor, Mama showed me the various facilities, and also drew the route map of nearby hot springs, restaurants and attractions. Mama can speak English and some Chinese, and communication is really barrier-free. You can also buy a 600 yen bus here. One day ticket, including breakfast, breakfast is very rich, there are fruits, toast, barbecue, eggs, juice, coffee and milk, self-service. Everything is great, but people with poor sleep should be careful to enter, because it is a Japanese-style room, you know the soundproofing effect!
Ben's Guesthouse Kyoto
4.4/537 Reviews
Nijo Castle
I have been in a small hotel for half a year. The RV Ben is not often here but we ran into it. Ben is very kind to the staff, and his English is very good (grew up in a foreign country), and communication is not a problem. There are many suggestions for parking, eating and traveling. In a small building, you have to take off your shoes and change slippers when you go in. The shoes are stored in the locker. Three rooms on each floor, a total of four floors (no elevator) The room is very large, with a clothes machine and a small kitchen The bathroom is very large, except for the bathtub and the shower area, hot water is enough and the water pressure is good Flower washing water, shower gel, detergent and washing powder are all available One Wifi per room, stable signal The environment is quiet, with a small balcony, it is more convenient to get in and out by bus, or you can drive by yourself. There is a paid parking lot nearby. It costs 1,000 yen from 8:00 in the evening to 8:00 the next morning, which is cheap in Kyoto. There are many small izakayas nearby. I don’t think it’s easy to communicate if I know a little bit of Japanese.

Guesthouse Hana Nishijin

Take the No. 50 bus from Kyoto Station and get off at Shangqixuan Station. Cross the road and follow the small road of the 7-11 convenience store. Then turn left for a total of three minutes. Because it is an overseas homestay, no breakfast is available. But the boss will prepare bread, butter, jam, etc. for free in the refrigerator, as well as free coffee, various teas, and Japanese snacks. There are three rooms in the hotel, and there are 3-4 people in larger rooms. The hotel owner is very welcoming, with very good sanitation and facilities to evaluate the five stars.
