Kyoto Hotels with Balcony

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights during our first visit to Kyoto. This hotel is very clean with nice accessories and modern Japanese accommodations located in quiet neighborhood away from constant tourist crowds but at the same time in walking distance from the emperor palace and right across from Nijo Castle. It is only 10-15 minutes away on taxi from Gion district and other main tourist attractions that Kyoto can offer. I also would like mention Garrya Nijo Castle Kyoto staff that made us feel very welcomed and specifically to Timothy Hui (front office manager) who went beyond his duties and make special accommodations for us during our visit in Kyoto.

The Okura Okazaki Bettie is a beautifully designed modern hotel and was the perfect choice for our combined business/leisure visit to Kyoto. The location was reasonably close (short taxi ride) to excellent restaurants and sights in the culturally historic area east of the river. The guest room quality, cleanliness and comfort is excellent - finished to a high standard with large windows overlooking the garden below and temples beyond. Breakfast was served in the restaurant overlooking the hotel's own zen garden. The choice of either ”Kyoto”or ”American” breakfast was amazing, beautifully presented bento style, exceptionally fresh, plentiful and delicious. Indeed this was one of the best hotel breakfasts ever. Finally the service level is exceptional. Both management and staff did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable and hassle free. Neither the most nor least expensive option in Kyoto - just simple great value. We look forward to returning next time.

We couldn't have stayed in a more amazing hotel while in Kyoto. From the first moment we stepped in, we were greeted with hospitality. Every staff member we encountered was respectful and extremely helpful. Our room was well appointed and had more amenities than we could use. Not to mention, the private in room onsen. This was the whole reason we chose this hotel and it did not disappoint. The water was refreshing and you could really feel the healing effects. As for the meals that the hotel provides... I must say both the Japanese set and Western set breakfasts were delightful and had many options. The fresh ingredients and the diligence of the dining staff were impeccable. We felt truly valued as guests. It is safe to say that I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to stay in Kyoto. We most certainly will be back!

I stayed 2 days here. The room is so clean and comfortable. The staff is very helpful and nice. They helped us to order a taxi to leave at 5:15AM and everything was perfect. This is a good choice to stay in Kyoto.

The room is really clean, it is very quiet surrounded by residents, the door of each house is uniquely decorated, and there are views everywhere! Because I brought two old people with me, they are not used to Japanese food! I cooked a few meals to let them eat hometown food! The B&B is very convenient to Kiyomizudera Temple. It only takes 3-5 minutes to walk to the station. It takes about 20 minutes to reach Kiyomizudera Temple, Hanamikoji, and other scenic spots! Kyoto is still a place worth staying for a few more days. Personally, I like to travel quietly and slowly. I prefer Kyoto to Tokyo and Osaka!

The B&B is very clean. It is located in a residential area. The residents are quite quiet. There is just a bit of noise from passing cars at night. It is a good place to experience a Japanese cabin. It is especially suitable for a family. It is more comfortable than staying in a hotel. It is spacious and has many rooms. It has a living room and takes into account both privacy and privacy. Family interactions. There are kitchen supplies so you can cook your own meals. The nearby 24-hour supermarket is very convenient for buying ingredients and making Japanese hot pot. You can use Uber to call a car to the door of your room. The landlord responded promptly via WeChat and provided detailed information about the surrounding area. It is recommended that there be a small table next to the sink to store cosmetics, or a tabletop mirror to facilitate putting on makeup on the living room table. Slippers are difficult to wear, and it would be better to provide disposable toiletries. Overall it's worth staying, especially for family travel. Some information for other friends who are making reservations: There is a subway station ten minutes away, but the Kyoto subway is not very convenient. The main bus is the main one, but the bus is a bit laborious. Basically, it is simple and straightforward to use Uber. A taxi from Kyoto Station costs about 1,100 yen, Eikan-do Temple is 3,800 yen, Nishi Honganji Temple is 1,600 yen, Tofukuji Temple is 1,300 yen, and Kiyomizu Temple is 3,400 yen.

Location is ideally situated beside the JR Station. We bought the Haruka Express Ticket and went down Kyoto Station. Hotel interior is bigger than most Japanese hotels. Even the rest room is bigger. Breakfast buffet has lots of choices. Super worth it. The Kyoto Tower is right beside the hotel. There are nearby malls also. Hotel staffs are very friendly and accommodating.

▶️Basic information: Checked in between 12.4-12.9, the hotel also provides free breakfast (actually I stayed alone). ▶️Location: Between Gojo and Shichijo on the Keihan Line, across the street is the Kamogawa River, it takes about 20 minutes to walk to Kyoto Station, Kiyomizu Temple and Shijo, and it takes about two bus stops (8-9 minutes to walk to the bus stop). There is also a bus stop nearby that goes directly to other famous attractions such as the Golden Pavilion Temple in Kyoto. There is a 24-hour supermarket in Kiyomizu Gojo, a 7-minute walk away, where you can buy vegetables and cook. ▶️Room facilities: It is equivalent to a small apartment, and because it is newly installed, it is very new and advanced. There is a washing machine (including detergent, and the bathroom has a drying function. After washing clothes at night, you can dry them directly and wear them the next morning), a large upper and lower refrigerator with freezing function, a microwave oven, a kitchen (including a full set of tableware and detergent), a dining table, a duplex bed (with a charging port and a light at the head of the bed, which is very convenient), and a walk-in closet (with an ironing machine and many hangers). The bathroom, washbasin and toilet are separated, and the dry and wet areas are separated. The bathtub is fully automatically drained and kept warm. The toiletries are Pola. I am on the first floor. There is a small space outside the French window, so I can go out for a walk and breathe. Living here can easily give people the illusion that I am staying in Kyoto for a short time, but it is not as inconvenient as the B&B cannot store luggage and the cleaning standards cannot be guaranteed. ▶️Hotel facilities: Breakfast from 6:30 to 10:00 in the morning, coffee, juice, carbonated water and other beverages from 3:00 to 23:00 in the afternoon. The hotel also has free bicycles (renting bicycles in Kyoto also starts at a few hundred yen, saving money immediately and not having to find a place to return the bicycle). Just go to the front desk staff to get the key. It takes 3 minutes to ride from the hotel to Kamogawa. It is strongly recommended to ride to Deyanagi-cho and then go back and forth. It takes about two hours to walk and play. There is an open-air bar on the top floor of the hotel, where you can sit and overlook Kamogawa and Kyoto Tower, which is convenient for watching the sunrise and sunset. At present, most of the guests staying are from Europe and the United States, so the hotel staff speaks very good English and can communicate smoothly. I also watched Netflix on the hotel's TV (need to log in to your account), the effect was good, I highly recommend it to people who are going to stay in Kyoto for more than 3 days, so that they can appreciate the good of the hotel.

Hotel was super nice! I loved almost everything. The room was very big for Japanese standards and the staff was very professional and fluent in English. Location couldn’t be better, right next to Kyoto Station and a lot of options for shopping and dining. The only thing that was disappointing was the breakfast. They divide it in a western and japanese breakfast. But the western breakfast didn’t really have much western choices. And the coffee was not good. This could be improved. Otherwise it was a perfect stay and I would recommend it. :-)

Our stay at Good Nature Hotel Kyoto was truly memorable! The location is ideal, just a short walk from the train station, making it incredibly convenient. The service was outstanding—front desk staff even helped us make a dinner reservation since we don’t speak Japanese. We were also impressed by the thoughtful touches, like the tiny indoor shoes they provided for our baby. The hotel’s shower gel, shampoo, and handwash were lovely—natural and refreshing. We loved them so much that we bought some from their grocery store to bring back home! The warm and eco-conscious atmosphere, combined with excellent service, made our stay perfect. Highly recommended for travelers seeking comfort, convenience, and a touch of nature.
