A Perfect Blend of Tradition and Comfort in Kyoto
During my recent stay at Saka Hotel Kyoto, I was immediately struck by its peaceful surroundings and inviting atmosphere. Located in the charming Higashiyama neighborhood, it offers an ideal launching point for discovering Kyoto’s historic sites. Despite being so close to famous temples and shrines, the hotel maintains a tranquil setting that feels worlds away from the bustle of the city.
From check-in onward, I was warmly welcomed by the professional and attentive team. Their devotion to creating a memorable guest experience was evident in every conversation. Whether offering sightseeing suggestions or promptly assisting with any need, they made me feel completely at home.
My room showcased an attractive fusion of modern design and traditional Japanese elements. Soft earth tones, tasteful décor, and well-chosen furnishings created an atmosphere that was both chic and peaceful. The spacious bathtub, in particular, stood out as the perfect place to unwind after wandering Kyoto’s centuries-old streets.
Although I didn’t have a chance to sample the hotel’s dining options, every other aspect of my stay was faultless. The exquisite decor, the serene environment, and the staff’s unparalleled service exceeded all my expectations. If you’re seeking a sophisticated, relaxing retreat that still allows you to easily explore Kyoto’s rich cultural heritage, Saka Hotel Kyoto is an excellent choice.

Ban Hotel is a hotel worth staying in. Both the service and hygiene are 100 points. The environment is very quiet and comfortable. I will come again next time I have a chance.

Near the hotel are the famous Kiyomizu-dera Niennenzaka and Sannenzaka in Kyoto, which is very convenient. There was also a welcome drink and dessert during check-in, and the attentive staff explained the facilities of the hotel to me in detail Enjoying a great Japanese breakfast for a price of over $2000 definitely makes me want to go back again!

The room is very Japanese style, and the window view is great. The hotel service is also very good. We booked a twin room for two adults and one child. When we came back at night, we found that the hotel specially laid a tatami bed in the tatami area. The hotel is equipped with a full range of toiletries, including facial masks and heated eye masks. There is also a capsule coffee machine in the room. The location is also very good, about a 10-minute walk from Ninsanzaka, Kiyomizu Temple, and Yasaka Shrine.
