Hotels With Gym in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

The hotel was in a very good, central location, just 3 minutes from the bus stop and 14 minutes bus ride from Kyoto station. I booked a 20m twin room with large single beds. However, the room was 12m at the most. I asked the head receptionist about this. I was then offered a larger room at extra cost which I declined. The room was fairly clean with fresh towels provided every day. It was well equipped with a kettle and a small fridge. There was no wardrobe, just 4 hangers to hang clothes on a hook. There was no storage. The soundproofing was good as I could not hear the other guests. There was a washing machine available for 500 yen which was very useful. For breakfast, there was a wide selection of tasty food which I recommend. The spa was nice and free of charge, however there was 1000 yen charge for the gym.

We booked a triple room, and with three beds, the room was quite compact, but we could still fit our luggage. The hotel is a bit of a distance from the station, but there are two buses an hour to Kyoto Station, which is very convenient, and the location is easy to find. For breakfast, there are two restaurants to choose from. The Japanese one offers a set meal, so we ate at the Western restaurant all three days, which basically met our needs.

We stayed here for a family trip over Children's Day in May. Banyan Tree is such a renowned brand even in Korea, so I had high expectations when I booked our stay. However, we were hoping for a mountain view, but instead, we got a cemetery view – and on a dark, rainy night, it was quite enough to give us nightmares. If you're looking for a relaxing experience, like soaking in a Japanese cypress (hinoki) bathtub, you'll be satisfied, but I have to say the view was extremely disappointing. On the positive side, the Japanese tatami room vibe was very pleasing, and the aroma oil program at the spa was really interesting.

Our experience at Six Senses Kyoto was truly wonderful. As a new hotel opened in 2024, it exudes an elegant Japanese Zen style, and the public courtyard is particularly photogenic. The room was spacious enough at 42 square meters, and the attention to detail was impeccable. The breakfast selection was rich, offering both local Kyoto flavors and Western options, and the quality of the food was excellent. Its location isn't far from Gion and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, making it very convenient for sightseeing. The only slight downside is that it's a bit of a distance from the subway, so I'd recommend taking a taxi for getting around. The service was meticulous and attentive, making for a very relaxing stay overall, perfect for those looking to slow down and enjoy a holiday.

We decided to book Nogha whilst we were in Kyoto so we could relax a little more than in previous locations. We opted for a bigger room to have some space and it didn't disappoint. The bed was huge, the room for two was a really good size. It was clean and well decorated. The bakery downstairs was a great addition, we had breakfast there on our consecutive mornings. I would thoroughly recommend it if you're looking for a nice four star hotel and something a little quiet. Staff were also lovely and our luggage had been taken to our room when we checked in.

We had a wonderful stay at Ala Hotel Kyoto! Our room was spacious, especially compared with the hotels we stayed at in Tokyo. The service was exceptional—the staff went above and beyond to help us and make us feel welcome. Breakfast was excellent, with delicious food that we thoroughly enjoyed every morning. Of all the hotels we stayed at in Japan, this was our best experience, especially for the room, service, and breakfast. We were extremely happy with our stay. Highly recommended!

Conveniently located, spacious rooms, complete dining facilities, good service, but average room cleaning. We chose this hotel located within Kyoto Station for our leisure trip to Kyoto. Overall, the experience was quite good. The room was quite large, and despite facing the train station, the sound insulation was excellent; we could barely hear the sound of vehicles. The daily newspaper delivery was a nice traditional service. For breakfast, there's a buffet restaurant on the 2nd floor and a Japanese set meal on the 3rd floor. We stayed for 3 nights and tried both, each with its unique characteristics. The Japanese breakfast didn't have a huge variety of dishes, but there were three options for rice, and the ritual of cooking the rice on-site was very impressive. Room cleaning was a bit subpar. There were obvious stains on the carpet, and I'm not sure if they couldn't be cleaned or for what reason (Picture 2), but it was unpleasant to look at. A bottle cap left by the previous guest was also not cleaned up (Picture 3), which is unacceptable. When checking out, after paying the taxes, the front desk attendant handed the bill directly to us without an envelope, which felt unprofessional and unfriendly.

Nice staff with efficient check-in and check-out procedures. Although it is just around 10-15mins walk between the hotel and Kyoto Station, I like that the hotel provides shuttle bus service every 20mins which offers a better choice for us to escape from the hot weather.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to a subway exit. However, honestly, for the last two days, there was always a stinky smell from the subway exit to the hotel entrance, like where a homeless person might have stayed. Overall, I was very satisfied with the room; it was spacious and offered great value for money. The only minor drawback is its slight distance from the city center and tourist attractions, but the price and room size perfectly compensate for this. During my more than ten-day trip to Japan, I stayed at four different hotels, and this was the only one I genuinely wanted to spend time in because the room was large and didn't feel cramped. The other places I stayed at, like Yotel near Shinbashi Station and Tokyo Prince Hotel in Tokyo, and Hotel Risveglio in Osaka, all had small or old rooms, making me not want to stay in the hotel much. This one, however, was both new and spacious!

The service was really mediocre. I specifically requested a room on the 9th floor a month in advance because it's near the Executive Lounge, meaning I wouldn't have to go up and down floors. However, they completely ignored my request, and when I asked, they simply said the hotel was full. When I checked in at night, I felt the front desk staff weren't very friendly either. The lobby is quite nice, and while the food at the Executive Lounge isn't extensive, the ambiance is decent. If the price difference isn't too much, definitely go for an Executive Lounge room. The room also had an unpleasant smell. The location is alright. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying for an extended period; it's more suitable for a one-night stopover.
