“Very Conveniently Located”

We stayed at the New Miyako Hotel as an extension of a tour and found the location extremely convenient. It is directly accross from the train and bus stations and that made it very easy to move around on the trains as well as the subway and busses. There is a wonderful mall right next door and in the train station which provided plenty of options for food and shopping. The hotel itself was very nice and the staff extremely helpful. The room by Japan standards was large and comfortable. We had multiple options for breakfast but opted to eat at the small bakeries due to the cost. We did order room service one evening and felt it was not worth the money, the food was nothing special. Overall we would recommend this hotel for anyone who want a convenient locaion in Kyoto for running around and seeing all the sights.

“Good hotel”

Good hotel, good location and good services at a reasonable price

“Great hotel in a convenient location”

I enjoyed the New Miyako Hotel very much. The staff was great--very polite and considerate. Their English isn't perfect, but they work very hard to understand any concerns or questions and address them satisfactorily. The concierge was particularly great; she gave us a great recommendation for a sushi place in Gion, gave me information for our day trip to Nara, and tracked down shops at which I could buy second-hand kimonos or cheap souvenirs (whatever I needed).

“Already planning our next trip to Kyoto.”

Our only problem was we had to leave after 13 days. We were assisted many times by locals. One man had his wife drive the car to the train so he could take us directly to our destination instead of a 3rd subway. A woman helped us find a bank to exchange money near the flea market. It took her 3 tries and 45 minutes. We shared photos of our dogs, grandchildren, gardens and quilt and made instant friends. We took photos of all who helped us. It is so easy to travel by train or subway or bus. On our one rainy day we took the JR to Shigo and walked underground to stores and the Arcade. I have been to Kyoto 5 times and on this trip found even more "new" experiences. Our side trip to Ohara was a winner...gardens, shrines, good food, good shopping. I am ready to return. The textile markets were a highlight for quilters and those who sew wearable art. You can not say "arigato" enough and it was evident locals appreciated our efforts.

“Great base for Kyoto”

This is quite a basic hotel with good staff. What really makes this hotel a good choice is the location right opposite the station and shopping mall. This provides very convenient travel and a very good choice of restaurants.

“Location is great but room was small”

The room was a lot smaller than what we thought it was going to be but the staff always had it clean by the time we got back. The concierge desk was very helpful and answered any questions we had. We didn't eat at the hotel but Kyoto station has so many options to choose from. The location is the best since you can get anywhere in the city by walking across the street.
