Hotels near Imperial Palace, Kyoto

"The room is spacious. Everything is great. Only they don’t have hot water dispenser. The cleanliness is superb. Location is very convenient for us, as it is near to everywhere. Not so near to the metro station but is okay, the walk is nice with beautiful surrounding with good vibes. Love Kyoto. Walkable to the beautiful karmo river"

"It's about a 10-minute walk from Marutamachi Station. Exit 2 seems to be the closest. There's also an underground parking lot, so it's convenient if you come by car. Although it's a bit far from Kyoto Station and Karasuma Shijo, it's quiet and pleasant. It's best to get your dinner in advance."

"Unexpectedly good! I had to find a hotel at the last minute and was so pleased with my stay. The room was perfectly clean, and both the bathroom and the room itself were spacious and comfortable."

"Traveling to Kyoto with friends and staying at this hotel was an excellent experience. The location is superb, making it easy to get to all the major attractions. The rooms were spotless, and the public hot spring was perfect for easing the fatigue from walking around all day. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and the facilities were complete and functional. I highly recommend this for anyone traveling with friends."

"Booked this during the rainy season for just over 300 [currency unit], which is excellent value for money. I was very happy with the room assignment; high floor with a great view, and even though it's street-facing, it wasn't noisy. The facilities were excellent. The area nearby is a well-established residential neighborhood, not overly touristy, which is perfect for experiencing local life."

"The hotel overall is good, but the location is a bit out of the way. Taking the bus everyday costs about a thousand yen, and if you factor that into the hotel expenses, booking a hotel near Shijo Karasuma would probably be more cost-effective."

"This was my first time experiencing a hostel in Japan, and I was incredibly impressed. The staff were friendly, the facilities were comprehensive and clean, and there was an abundant supply of snacks and tea bags. They even have an artificial onsen you can use. There's a large shopping mall right across the street, and it's very close to the bus stop, though the subway is about a ten to fifteen-minute walk away. The only minor drawbacks were the small bedside locker, which wasn't very convenient for storing belongings. Larger luggage had to be left near the entrance or by the bed, which was a bit inconvenient. Also, the duvet was quite thin, and I woke up cold at night. If you need an extra blanket, remember to grab one in advance."

"I chose this hotel for my trip to Kyoto. While it initially appeared quite close to the subway station, it was actually a bit of a walk from the exit, but still manageable. The hotel itself was excellent, with rooms slightly more spacious than what you'd typically find in Osaka. The property was clean and tidy, rooms had a fridge, and there's a convenience store right next door, which was very convenient. Nearby, you'll find the Kyoto Imperial Palace Park (Kyoto Gyoen), the former imperial palace grounds. It's a lovely spot for a stroll if you have some free time, and you'll often see many dogs there."

"The room cleaning was not timely. I chose the ECO option, which is supposed to be a light cleaning, but they didn't come to clean for two consecutive days (I left at 8-9 AM and returned to the hotel at 2 PM for a nap). The TV was also a letdown; during the World Cup, I couldn't find a single channel broadcasting the games. Disappointing 😞"

"Great customer service. Room was very spacious and comfortable. I loved the room provide the matcha green tea ceremony experience. The location is not ideal but the shuttle service helps a lot. It would be more helpful if they post the shuttle service on their website. I found the shuttle info via guest reviews. Overall, we had a great time staying this hotel. I would love to come back again."
