Hotels near Kyoto Station Area, Kyoto

The cleanliness at Kyoto Hachijo Miyako Hotel was truly impressive. The room was spotless, the bedding felt brand new, and the bathroom was fresh with no unpleasant odors. Every detail showcased their high service standards, making for a truly comfortable and reassuring stay!

I stayed in a room that included breakfast and dinner, and the food was delicious. Overall, the meals were really good... As a solo traveler with a packed schedule, it was a huge relief to come back every day and have a proper meal instead of just a boxed lunch. The hotel is about a ten-minute walk from Kyoto Station, which is convenient. There's a Lawson convenience store right downstairs, and a 7-Eleven just a few minutes' walk away. Across from the 7-Eleven, there are bus stops with direct routes to popular attractions, including buses to Arashiyama and the Shijo area.

Our experience of the hostel was average, where cleanliness and access of staff was lower than expected. When arriving, it took us 30 minutes to wait to check in, and only one member of staff available. During our stay we tried to ask for more towels, as you only get one upon arrival, and we had to go searching for a member of staff. The hostel has large rooms, that are the cleanest part of the hostel, however there are a lot of older guests who didn’t seem to understand the how to be courteous and decided to pack and unpack their suitcase at 11pm-1am. There is a light and small lockable compartment next to the bed, however because it’s made of wood, any small movement can be heard across the room. If you’re in beds 1-4 you won’t get much sleep due to the luggage rack and luggage rack light being opposite your bed, so bring an eye mask and earplugs. There are showers located on the basement floor but there are cups with flies , lots of hair and we found it unhygienic and off putting. To get into the hostel you have to scan a QR code on the welcome piece of paper to access the password for the doors for your shower room. On the bed you will be provided with a set of pyjamas (do not keep them) and at reception you can take some complementary ear buds, body scrubber and hair brush. There is no drinks or food available at the hotel, and there is a no food in the room policy. The hotel is situated opposite a large mall with several food options and a cinema, which we did attend on a rainy day and the film was in English with Japanese subtitles. The hotel is close to Kyoto station for easy transport to other stations in Kyoto. Overall we won’t be staying here again.

Although the check-in time was stated as 9 PM at the latest, I knew I'd be arriving later than expected, so I called the front desk beforehand to say I'd be there at 9:30 PM. However, when I got to Kyoto, it was pouring rain, and I got completely lost. While rushing through the streets, I called the front desk again to say I'd be another 15 minutes late. The receptionist probably heard me panting and told me not to rush and that it was okay to take my time. When I finally arrived at the hotel, I realized the front desk staff was a ********* girl who could speak Chinese, which immediately put me at ease. I'm truly very grateful to her! 🙏

I've stayed at a few Keihan Group hotels, and they've all been great, but this Kyoto Station South hotel is particularly excellent. The Chinese-speaking front desk staff provided fantastic service during check-in, making me feel truly at home. I also got lucky this time; I arrived at 12 PM and was able to check in early. The daily breakfast is also incredible value for money; 1980 yen on its own isn't expensive at all, and it's an absolute steal when bundled with the room. The 11 AM check-out time is very reasonable, and the luggage storage facilities are excellent, making you feel very secure. However, the self-service lockers fill up quickly, so you often have to leave your bags with the staff. All the amenities are thoughtful and convenient. The only minor drawback is that the expensive hairdryer is too large, taking up space and being awkward to use in the small bathroom. In the afternoons, you can also enjoy complimentary coffee and drinks at the restaurant. The location is unbeatable; it's right across the street from Hachijo Exit, making shopping, dining, and public transport incredibly convenient. The bus to Kansai Airport is also nearby, which is much more comfortable than taking the train. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Kyoto.

This hotel offers great value for money and is often fully booked. The location is incredibly convenient, the management and service are excellent, and the rooms are clean and hygienic. They even offer free luggage storage. Besides the standard services, the front desk also provides high-quality facial care products for women, including face masks. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

The hotel is located in a major street, near a bus stop, and close to Kyoto station, which is easy to commute to many places. There is no room cleaning during your stay. Your used towel must be left in front of the room, and a new set will be hung at the room door. Breakfast is bread, jam, and instant noodle. Oh... There is a machine for coffee and corn soup. I found out that you have to pay tax when you check in. Surprise to me because I thought the price I paid including a tax.

This hotel is super convenient, right at the Hachijo East Exit of Kintetsu Kyoto Station – just take the escalator down and you're there. There's an indoor shopping street right outside, making it really easy to grab a bite or do some shopping. Plus, a large AEON mall is just a short walk from the station. The hotel service is excellent, and they even offer complimentary afternoon tea and coffee in the restaurant.

The room itself wasn't huge, but it was well-equipped and pretty quiet. However, my window was on the side and covered with opaque paper. Looking at the floor plan, it seemed like two rooms might have windows facing each other, so they probably covered them to avoid any awkwardness. Plus, the window was really hard to open, so it basically felt like a windowless room. The location was great though, right opposite Kyoto Station.

The location is pretty good, very close to Kyoto Station. The hotel is clean and well-equipped. The only downside is that the two beds are pushed together. After booking on Trip.com, I still had to pay a tax upon arrival. I thought it was a deposit, and when checking out, I stupidly went to the front desk to ask for it back. The staff member looked totally bewildered 😳 If you want your room cleaned, you absolutely have to hang the sign outside your door. This is different from China, where cleaning is usually assumed.
