Miki Vacations from $507

Great location, amazing food nearby and temple next door. Nice view from the 3rd floor (don’t feel boxed in like cities). Very polite and English friendly staff. Two combination units for washer+dryer so we could do 2 loads at once.

Our stay in here was amazing, the staff were very friendly and kind.

A good hotel in a good location. Bunk beds for kids and a second bathroom make it easy for a family. Easy walk to heart of city and lots of food option nearby including a 7-11 and Fresco 24hr grocery store. Kids loved it. Was a bit inconvenient not having basic necessities in the room such as coffee. As a coffee drinker it’s annoying to have to walk to reception just for some instant coffee first thing in the morning. Would have given the hotel 5* but they gave us inaccurate advice for train and bus tickets. We told them where we wanted to go and they sold us day passes for 1,100 yen (4,400 for 3 adults and 2 kids). When we got to the train station we found out the tickets they sold us weren’t for that train, we then had to pay cash for that train and other trains for the rest of the day. When we spoke to the hotel about it, their answer was “sorry, you should have read the fine print”. Given we bought the tickets on their advice, the right thing to do would have been to offer a refund or some sort of compensation for this. Lesson learned, do your own research, don’t trust advice from reception.

We enjoyed our visit to Kyoto and the accommodations provided by the Hiyori Stay Kyoto Kamogawa. The hotel is located on a quiet street but not far from local attractions. It is somewhat centrally situated between the main train station and the Gion district, which worked out well for us as we used this property as our hub while exploring Kyoto and also taking day trips. The room was a decent size and well equipped with everything we needed. It had a small kitchen that we didn't use, but also a refrigerator and washer/dryer that we did use. The drying feature in the shower area worked surprisingly well and it was nice to have clean clothes before moving on in our journey. The staff was also very friendly and helped us in many ways, including with dinner reservations. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again when I am in Kyoto.

We loved our stay at the Rakuro hotel in Kyoto. It is a beautiful space with lovely rooms and peaceful communal spaces. The lounge is a lovely place to sit for a while after a busy day in Kyoto. The staff is kind and helpful as well! We enjoyed breakfast one morning as well. While it was a bit pricey it was nice and filling.
