Hot Springs Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

It is a hotel with a very good location and very good service from the receptionist. The condition of the hotel is excellent, no complaints. The room is large, the bathroom is clean, the toilet is separated from the shower, there is a small part of the room where the maid works to clean every day. There is an onsen, a fitness room and a restaurant. I recommend it. If you come to stay in Kyoto, you must come to this hotel only. It is really good.

Amazing experience. Some traditional japanese vibes mixed with westernized traits. It was our first time visiting a hotel with any resemblance to a traditional japanese hotel - this was a great entry point into this kind of experience. As is traditional, you are required to leave your shoes in the footlockers by the entrance. You walk around the hotel in socks / barefoot. In some spaces wooden shoes are provided (example: public toilet on the first floor, toilet in the hotel room), everywhere else is socks-only. The design is very traditionally looking, pleasing to the eyes. Breakfast offers a combination of japanese and western dishes in a buffet style - so if you want to try some traditional japanese food, but are afraid you won’t like it - you will still have plenty of options (I will add a photo as an example - in reality the list of options is much bigger both in both japanese and western cuisines). Onsen is great, works a long time (3pm-10am). We went there in the morning / day / evening — all times it was not too crowded, sometimes there were only a couple other people in there. The onsen are separate for men and women, so there is no need to check against any timetable (men hours / women hours, how some other hotels do it) - you can go any time when onsen is open. Location is great too — multiple subway stations are close, Kyoto Tower is in about 10 minutes of walking. Many restaurants nearby.

The hotel is just one stop away from Kyoto JR Station; you step right out into it. There's also a bus stop right outside the entrance. It's very convenient for visiting attractions in Kyoto city. The whole place feels very new and modern. You're required to take off your shoes upon entering the hotel, and walking barefoot throughout the entire premises takes a bit of getting used to. They offer complimentary late-night noodles starting at 9:30 PM daily. In the mornings, there's unlimited Yakult, and in the evenings, free-flow ice pops. Both indoor and outdoor onsen (hot springs) are available. However, since Kyoto likely doesn't have volcanoes, the overall quality of the hot springs can't quite compare to similar hotels in areas like Hakone. P.S. This hotel belongs to the same management group as Mizunone, where I stayed in Hakone last year.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location, just a 3-minute walk from Keage Subway Station. It's also conveniently located within a 5-10 minute walk of major attractions like Nanzen-ji Temple, Eikan-do Temple, and the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art. Plus, popular coffee shops like M Stand Coffee and Blue Bottle Coffee are a mere 3-minute stroll away. The accommodation and facilities were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit.

This has always been one of my favorite hotels, a Mercure chain property. They offer a complimentary evening bar service where all food, drinks, sake, and small snacks are free. It's perfect for a group of friends to gather, whether for team-building or just a casual get-together.

The hotel boasts a charming Japanese style, creating a very cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Even the old-fashioned keys for the room doors were a delightful touch. The hotel offers both private onsen baths and a large public bathhouse. I tried both and actually found the public bathhouse to be cleaner. While the private baths provided good privacy, the pools themselves were somewhat small. Being surrounded by plants, I noticed some small insects and hair floating on the water. You're meant to use a net provided nearby to scoop these out yourself. It was quite dimly lit, and I worried I wouldn't be able to clean it thoroughly, especially since the net itself had holes. Ultimately, this was a bit off-putting, so I ended up preferring the public bath. But that's just my personal take. The hotel's meals were plentiful, but the taste was just average. Overall, I still really appreciated the hotel's aesthetic and found my stay very comfortable.

Located right in the heart of the Shijo commercial district! The front desk staff on the first floor were genuinely handsome and incredibly patient! It's quite rare to see such handsome Japanese men! And then there's the hotel's rooftop bar! It's truly fantastic and has an incredible 'wow' factor. Imagine sitting there with a drink, soaking your feet, and gazing out at the Kyoto cityscape – you can even spot Kiyomizu Temple, Ninen-zaka, and overlook the Kamo River. It's absolutely wonderful. The hotel's onsen bath is also incredibly relaxing! I wholeheartedly recommend it – you absolutely won't be disappointed! However, the rooms are a bit on the small side.

Plenty of free parking spaces right in front of the hotel. 👍🏻 Extremely courteous and helpful staff. Decent breakfast. High recommend this hotel.

Very nice Hotel at Country side for Autumn, nice Breakfast. convenient location to Arashiyama.

It takes more than ten or twenty minutes to take the hotel shuttle bus from JR Kameoka Station, so you need to make an appointment with the hotel in advance. The Japanese-style room is very comfortable, and breakfast and dinner are also great! There are hot springs. There is a shuttle bus to the Hozugawa Ferry Terminal, and you can also make an appointment for pick-up and drop-off from the Saga JR Station.
