Hotels With Breakfast in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

Our second stay here was quite a rollercoaster! 1. Even though it was pricier than a standard room, the hotel provided a larger room with four beds as requested, so the kids didn't have to worry about mom and dad not being around at night. (Happy 😊) 2. We noticed the Shinkansen (bullet train) noise was a bit loud at night, and the children had trouble sleeping until after midnight when it quieted down. (Concerned 😞) 3. The next morning, the hotel front desk promptly helped us switch to a lower-floor room on the other side, where the noise would be much less. Since they needed to set up four beds, we agreed to check in around 6 PM. (Happy 😊) 4. However, when we returned to the hotel at 8 PM the next day, we found only two beds. It seemed like they might have forgotten to arrange the extra beds. (Uh-oh 🥲) 5. After realizing the issue, the front desk promptly upgraded us to a huge room on the top floor (one level up) for free! (Excited 😆) 6. Room 124, the new one, was fantastic, though we did find a previous guest's small handkerchief behind the curtain. (Awkward 🤦) Overall, it's still a pretty good hotel with excellent staff. We've stayed here two years in a row when visiting Kyoto, so I can definitely recommend it.

This hotel deserves only an excellent mark. The hotel is situated just one metro station from Kyoto Central Station, which is very convenient. The metro station is just 100 meters away from the hotel entrance. The hotel is surrounded by a lovely park. When I arrived, there was a book fair—lots of cheerful students, kiosks with different types of food, etc. Additionally, there is a Starbucks café and a 24/7 FamilyMart next door. The Hotel offers a laundry self-service. Theare are washing mashines with a drying fuction on the 2nd floor. The front desk personnel are very polite and speak English well. When I arrived in the morning, the manager offered to store my luggage before check-in time. When I entered my room, I instinctively checked if it was really a 4-star hotel, because it looked like a real 5-star hotel—spacious room with design details, a spacious bathroom unlike other Japanese hotels, and other features that make the room look luxurious (check the photos). Additionally, I would like to point out the perfectly working air ventilation. Unlike other Japanese hotels, which have air conditioning in the rooms, this hotel has supply ventilation that works very gently—no sound, no ice-cold drafts, just a soundless flow of fresh air. I believe that the Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Umekoji is a perfect place to stay in Kyoto.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location, making it easy to get anywhere. There's a bus stop right outside, and the subway is also very convenient. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean, though the lighting was a little dim. The small eatery directly across the street served delicious food and offered amazing value. Even though the menu wasn't extensive, we ended up going there twice!

Our absolute favorite hotel in Kyoto, Japan – we were extremely satisfied! Meals were super convenient with a convenience store and supermarket right outside the door, which we visited daily. The subway station was just a five-minute walk away. The hotel's hot spring was its most unique feature; it's so rare to find a hotel with one. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Kyoto.

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jingo-ji A truly unique experience, only available at a hotel integrated with a temple, is the 'Morning Service Experience' (500 yen). Exclusively for guests, this Jodo-shu Buddhist service is held daily in the lobby. I received a paper detailing the service flow and participated from my seat. It was a refreshing and optional activity.

I wouldn't recommend staying here if you're traveling with parents; it's incredibly cramped, and space is extremely tight for the price. Honestly, for over 500 RMB, you'd get better value and comfort at a budget hotel. **Facilities:** The space is extremely cramped. As shown in photo 2, the toilet and bathtub are practically on top of each other with no separation. Additionally, there's a raised step between the bathroom and the main area, which is a significant tripping hazard. **Environment:** The overall environment feels very enclosed and claustrophobic. I was quite taken aback to find a bar table just 20cm from the bed. **Service:** Chinese-speaking staff were available, but they initially provided the wrong door code, preventing me from entering the room.

The location is good, pretty close to everything. The room was a bit small but okay for a short stay. Water should be bought from the vending machine. The price was high for one night stay considering the room size and the facilities specially in comparison to other places with similar or even better situations. The room was clean and air conditioner nice for summer. Overall okay except for the price.

Great Value and Perfect Location in Kyoto I loved staying at this hotel. The location is incredibly convenient, with easy access to Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace, and several shopping centers. There are also plenty of great restaurants within walking distance, making it easy to explore Kyoto’s local food scene. It’s excellent value for its price, offering clean and comfortable rooms along with complimentary breakfast. Everything was well-maintained, and the atmosphere felt safe and pleasant. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Kyoto and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable yet comfortable place to stay.

I was initially concerned about the walk to the subway station, but to my pleasant surprise, there was a bus stop right downstairs from the hotel. Direct buses to major attractions (like Sannenzaka/Ninenzaka, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace, and the Tamako Market filming location) were readily available, running every ten minutes. This made getting around incredibly convenient, and I didn't take the subway at all during my four-day stay in Kyoto, relying entirely on buses. Since I tend to tire out quickly, I would return to the hotel to rest after visiting each attraction, ending up going back and forth to the hotel three times a day. In the evenings, after dinner, I enjoyed leisurely strolls back to the hotel from the Kamo River. It truly made for a very relaxed and unhurried trip. Both Nishiki Market and Kyoto Daimaru are within comfortable walking distance. That area is indeed a bustling part of Kyoto, where a straight walk down one street can lead you to the Kamo River, Yasaka Shrine, and Gion Hanamikoji, offering a plethora of restaurants and bars. The room features a separate entryway. Inside, there's a sliding door that can be closed at night to enhance sound insulation, though the room's soundproofing was already excellent; I couldn't hear a single sound. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation, and both the toilet and shower areas were impeccably clean. The most thoughtful gesture was when I accidentally threw a broken umbrella into the trash; the housekeeping staff noticed it, retrieved it, and left it neatly beside the bin. Whenever I encountered cleaning staff in the hallway, they were always very polite and greeted me with a smile. The lobby offered complimentary self-serve lemonade, coffee, and matcha. Overall, a very satisfying stay.

Life and Fresco convenience stores are right downstairs, making the location incredibly convenient for buses, the subway, and Kintetsu lines. The room is reasonably spacious, equipped with a fridge, a hairdryer, and a full set of DHC toiletries. Complimentary matcha and coffee are offered regularly on the second floor, both rich and delicious. The peach tea bags in the pink packaging are especially good with ice (there's a 24/7 ice machine available). While the building is a bit dated, for about 450, you really can't complain!
