HANARE by Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo

The room is very spacious; we booked a room for four. The service was excellent, and it was very quiet. The complimentary breakfast was also good. It's a new hotel, and they use Refa for their toiletries. I will definitely stay here again next time.

Kyoto accommodations from Friday to Monday were ridiculously expensive, but luckily the room here was relatively spacious. There are plenty of shops nearby, making dining very convenient. Some of the best bakeries in all of Kyoto are right in the neighborhood, so there's no need to pay for hotel breakfast. ShinPuhKan is also great for strolling and shopping. Plus, the shower in the hotel was amazing with great water pressure. I think this is the kind of hotel I'd really enjoy for a longer, laid-back stay. However, from the perspective of an intensive "whirlwind" traveler, the location is a bit average. Even though it's at the intersection of two subway lines, the subway doesn't really take you directly to Kyoto's main attractions. You still have to walk to Karasuma to catch the train, which is a bit inconvenient. Over my four-day stay, I basically only took the subway when arriving and leaving.

A comfortable, home-like hotel with a thoughtful, practical design and an excellent location. The lobby lounge is delicate and elegant, and the semi-buffet breakfast was very enjoyable. The only thing to note is that the bathroom floor is raised a step—it's a bit of a tripping hazard if you're not paying attention, and it definitely needs improvement.

Absolutely fantastic! The location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk from Karasuma Oike Station. The hotel itself is quiet and comfortable, surrounded by plenty of great restaurants, and within walking distance of popular shopping areas. Check-in was thoughtful and efficient. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Plus, having a washer-dryer combo was incredibly convenient! Downstairs in the lobby, they offer small snacks in the afternoon and drinks and coffee all day. Overall, it's a wonderfully comfortable and quiet hotel – highly recommended!

Great location, within a 5-minute walk to the subway station. The room is spacious and clean, and even comes with a washing machine. There's free sake and coffee available downstairs. I would definitely stay here again next time!

A perfect 5-star review for Tokyu Hotel! Within a 3-minute walk, you'll find the subway, convenience stores, a bookstore, a drugstore, cafes, multiple bus stops, and a variety of restaurants and traditional eateries. It's truly a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle. I absolutely love it and will definitely stay here again in the future.

Clean and quiet, with a lovely breakfast. It's also very close to exit 4-1 of Karasuma Oike subway station.

I absolutely love this Japanese-style hotel! Everything from the front desk service to the cleanliness of the rooms, the lobby coffee, snacks, and sake, was perfect for us. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kyoto.

Facilities: Comprehensive. There are snacks, drinks, and a vending machine on the first floor. Cleanliness: Very clean, but room cleaning seems to be only available until 11 AM daily. Environment: Quiet yet conveniently located. Easy access to shopping areas and the subway station on foot. Service: Quite good.
