Hotels With Swimming Pools in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

This hotel is located at a perfect location in Kyoto, with the Kyoto Station being 2-5 minutes away depending on walking speed. There are many eateries and restaurants around the area, and the availability of various malls such as Aeon enhanced the experience we had staying in Miyako Hotel. Self check-in kiosks were used, and payment for foreign tax can be done seamlessly there. They have 2 different buildings in which the rooms are situated, which was unfortunate for my family as we were assigned rooms in each of the different buildings. However, the rooms were big and comfortable, and I was happy with the stay. While mineral water was not given for each day, they had a water dispenser in each level of the rooms, which made it convenient to obtain water. Vending machines are also available for those who prefer to get their own bottle of drink/mineral water. The staff were very friendly with any questions or requests and were fast with assistance for baggage storage. The only downside could be the lack of coin washing machines in the hotel itself, and the next nearest available public coin washing machine was located about 5-7 minutes away from the hotel itself. It is not easy to find and can be quite a hassle to actually do any sort of laundry unless you are willing to pay for the in-house laundry service. Overall, it is definitely recommended to choose Miyako.

The location is very good, close to Kyoto hotel and the room also big. Also I like the shuttle bus service. However, the facilities are not very friendly, since you have to pay extra fee for each activity, like swimming pool, spa and so on. Also. Spa only for man but didn’t have one for woman. All the facilities close at 6 pm. So if I wanted to use it after a long day, it’s impossible.

Location is excellent! Many restaurants around the hotel area as it is just located 8min walk from station. I booked this hotel over 5 times!  Love the room set up and make myself so comfortable. There is hot spring and provided free noodles and ice bars at the night time. It is just a refresh after hot spring.  The only weak point of the hotel is which too many guests! 🙂bit crowed during hot spring and breakfast time, it always happens during the peak season!

Hotel is located opposite to Kyoto Station, very convenient. Though room is small, still have a desk, small single sofa and a small table. Space is enough for opening one big luggage suitcase only. Request to stay in upper floor, and hotel gives us the highest level, 9th floor. Room is clean and tidy. Slippers are the reusable ones. Breakfast is below standard, food variety is not much. Food is either cold or warm. Congee is placed on top of an electric stove, but at 50 degree Celsius only.

It's quiet and easy to spend because it's one station from Kyoto Station. The location is also near the station, and it's easy to understand that you can reach it in just a few minutes from the station. Parks, aquariums and railway museums are also nearby, so you can play with your children. There is a large communal bath, but personally, the hot water is lukewarm and unsatisfactory. I stayed in a standard twin room, but I was able to spend a relaxing time in a room that was perfectly large even if I spread a large suitcase. There are also 6 coin laundry units, which is appreciated for long-term stays. It seems that a group of school excursion students was staying there, and I was worried that I could hear a slapstick noise at a fairly late time. There is also a convenience store, so it's very convenient, but it was very disturbing because a group of school excursion students was shopping and it was very crowded, and I didn't know how to use the self-checkout and was making a fuss. It was. Isn't it shifting such shopping time or the school side manages it? Apart from that, I was able to spend comfortably without any problems.

On April 28, 2024, I stayed at Kyoto Universal Hotel Karasuma to participate in the Kyoto May Day event held at Umekoji Park Lawn Square. The hotel is located south of Kujo Subway Station. To get to Umekoji Park, take city bus number 208 from Oishibashi without changing buses. The room rates have increased because it is the first Saturday of Golden Week, but I made the reservation two months in advance in anticipation of this. The usually free dinner and breakfast were 720 yen and 570 yen, respectively. I had dinner at the nearby Indian restaurant ”Dana Pani En.” The front desk was able to handle three check-ins. The service was not bad. The large public bath has not yet reopened under the pretext of infection prevention, but I think it is actually for cost-saving purposes. The rooms on the third floor have sofas and are not small. Be careful of the steps in the bathroom. BS cannot be viewed.

I and my mother stayed there for one night 20000 yen per person, with dinner and breakfast. It was a very comfortable stay. This was more like a hotel, except that we needed to walk around without your own shoes (without getting dirty feet) inside. It was fully booked on that day. We had an earlier check-in, which mean that we could enjoy our relaxing private Onsen bath without standing in line. We also tried the large onsen baths later in the evening after a long walk in the beautiful Arashiyama area nearby. It was hot, but great. One of the baths was outside in a Japanese garden. We got warmed up from the inside out, and had an ice popsicle before we went up to our room for good nights rest. We also enjoyed a huge dinner and breakfast, true local cuisine with typical taste in Kyoto that supposed to be refined and ”delicate” - you shouldn´t expect any strong taste, and correctly cooked. This supposed to be a 3-star-hotel, but the amenity was completed. We didn´t miss anything here. We thought the staff at the front desk were not amazing, but definitely not poor. We didn´t need to deal with them so much as we had good information in written form. Everything was clean and pleasant. Had absolutely nothing to complain. We would definitely love to come back again. My rating is 4 - not more or less. I certainly see that they still have a room for improvement, but overall I didn´t personally understand all the poor reviews.

Location is superb! Exit of the station and down you go, you will reach the hotel lobby. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. Most hotel were strict to check in after 3pm. However, they saw that we have 2 kids (1 of them vommitted), they let us have our room earlier at 245pm. Thumbs up for their impeccable service.

I stayed overnight on Saturday during the autumn leaves season in late November. I was able to stay at a very good price, probably because I made a reservation quite a while ago or because it was influenced by COVID-19. Moreover, it was a new hotel, so the evaluation is high. I went by city bus, but the nearest is Keihan Gojo. It is also within walking distance from Gojo Subway Station. The type of luggage is deposited in a dedicated locker (wire lock). I was grateful to the staff without hesitation, but it would be safer to have a bag that is locked firmly. There will be few cash payments, so there will be no problem even if it is limited to cashless payments. The interior is Japanese-conscious, so it will be accepted by foreigners as well. I didn't use it because breakfast was somewhere else, but it's a bit narrow next to the lobby on the 1st floor. It's in the middle of the city, so you won't have any trouble with convenience stores or restaurants. The department stores and downtown areas of Shijo Kawaramachi are within walking distance. The room is new and easy to use and there is no problem at all. If you have a good value plan, this is the hotel you want to use next time.

The Pros: Excellent location; Very kind, attentive and professional staff; breakfast is fine; - The Cons: It's an ageing hotel and it's starting to show; although generally clean my toilet, for example smelled persistently of urine since the moment I entered the room, as if the the flooring around the toilet had not been wiped down and disinfected; the hotel should be on top of the vacuum cleaner maintenance - they clearly do not change their dust sacks often, nor do they filter the air that is released by them; punctually every morning while walking down the corridors the smell of dust emanating from the carpets and/or vacuum cleaners is apparent; Vacuum cleaners need to be frequently maintained; Also what's up with the second card you hand-out at breakfast (other than the 'occupied' card) - It's redundant and totally useless. make things easier - not more complicated please! The large SPA is also very average. I wouldn't necessarily return to this hotel knowing that there are so many ew establishments around which offer newer and fresher facilities. You need to stay current and modern if you want to be competitive! Smarten-up please.  '

You can hunt for cherry blossoms! Morning and night Viking (perfect for me of partial food) I chose this for hot springs and these reasons. After going to Amanbashi Tachi, I made a cherry blossom hunt (reservation in advance) and checked in. The house is Rokudo, and our house is the same as another pair, but the cherry blossoms are in the cherry blossoms. cherry blossoms are sweet (laughs) It is good that the parking lot is large and affordable. The hotel is quite gorgeous and has a good management everywhere. The room is clean and large and I am very satisfied with the view of Amabashidate and the sea. Vikings were privately preferred in the morning than at night. The bath and the open-air bath were large and the staff were kind.

宮津駅より徒歩で10分程かかり、天橋立へ3km程の距離があり、宮津市街地唯一のコンビニエンスストアにも徒歩で10分程度要する場所にあるホテルです。周辺環境の状況から利用しづらい印象を持つと思いますが、だからこそかもしれませんが、平日休日問わず周辺は静かで、大声でおしゃべりするような宿泊客もおらず、非常に快適に滞在できるホテルだと思います。ホテルのスタッフも一様に丁寧な接客で、気さくに声をかけてくれるものの、必要以上に距離を詰めてくるような接し方はしません。 ロビーから客室に至るまで、清潔さが保たれているのは言わずもがな、設備やアメニティも無駄が無くよくまとまっています。客室への入室時のカードキーをかざすセンサーが分かりづらい、客室の電気系統がやや分かりづらい（入口のスイッチは、部屋全体の電気系統のオンとオフを切り替えるもののようです）、バスルームはバスタブが無くシャワーのみ（且つ大浴場が無い）、という注意点がありますが、それ以外は全く申し分はありません。 1階のロビーには待ち合わせスペースの他、共用のキッチンのようなスペースがあり（シンクがあるだけで実際の調理は出来ません）、宿泊客に対し無料でコーヒーを始めとするドリンクのサービスが提供されています（全て無料です）。 殆どの宿泊客が車で利用するからか、充分な広さの駐車場が備わっている上、ホテルの目の前には高速バスのバス停があるため、京都などからの高速バスを利用してのホテルの利用も非常に便利です。 周辺は飲食店がいくつかありますが、上記の通りコンビニエンスストアはこのホテルよりやや遠いところにあります。一方でホテルの北（徒歩2～3分程度）のところにショッピングモールがありますので、食糧調達に殊更不便、ということは無いと思います。周辺環境にやや難はあるものの、ホテル自体は素晴らしく、何度も利用したくなるホテルです。 It takes about 10 minutes on foot from Miyazu Station, about 3 km to Amanohashidate, and about 10 minutes on foot to the only convenience store in Miyazu city center. The surrounding environment of this hotel may give the impression that it is difficult to use the hotel, but perhaps that is why the area is quiet on weekdays and holidays, and there are no guests who chat loudly, making the hotel a very comfortable place to stay. The hotel staff is also uniformly courteous and friendly, but they don't treat you in a way that puts more distance between you and them than is necessary. From the lobby to the guest rooms, it goes without saying that cleanliness is maintained, and the facilities and amenities are well organized without being wasteful. There are a few minor issues: the sensor to hold the card key when entering the room is confusing, the electrical system in the room is a bit confusing (the switch at the entrance seems to turn the entire electrical system on and off), and the bathroom is shower only with no bathtub (and there is no large bath). Other than that, everything else is perfect. In addition to the meeting area, there is a common kitchen-like area in the lobby on the first floor (with a sink, but no actual cooking) where coffee and other beverages are served to guests free of charge (all free of charge). The hotel has a large parking lot, probably because most guests use the hotel by car, and there is an express bus stop right in front of the hotel, making it very convenient to use the hotel by express bus from Kyoto and other cities. There are several restaurants in the area, but as mentioned above, a convenience store is located somewhat farther away from the hotel. On the other hand, there is a shopping mall just north of the hotel (about a 2 to 3 minute walk), so it's not particularly inconvenient to procure food. Although the surrounding environment is a little difficult, the hotel itself is excellent, and I would like to use this hotel again and again.

The hotel is in a good location along the ASO Sea and access from the station is also very good. It is also attractive to relax in the room, but it is also a hand to stay in the day bath and the reasonable Auberge Amanohashidate near the large bath, which draws one of the features of the natural hot spring. (Although it is a hotel subject to shareholder preferential treatment in Samti, you need 3 sheets per person (but with half board). On the other hand, if it is an Auberge, you can stay with one sheet per person) The open-air bath with a panoramic view of Amanohashidate was good.

Hardly review here but this is worth recommending: for the location, very near (within 2 minutes) to the ferry terminal to see 升龍！ within 2 minutes walk to go to the cable car station at 飛龍！ if you drive, parking is free! Hotel very new! It is by the canal. Service is marvellous! And the onsen is fantastic! Just that I am not sure about the onsen water is certified… no information in the public bath there. But the spa facilities are fantastic!

Amanohashidate old hot spring guesthouse. The owner is a casual person. From check-in to check-out, it is very free and there is basically no need to communicate. Check-in is very simple and it is very close to the pier on the side of Amanohashidate Kasamatsu Park. The service ladies are very simple and enthusiastic, which is very consistent with the beautiful scenery here. I will definitely choose it next time I come

At that time, I had to go to Abridge to play and just found a hot spring hotel close to the station. I didn't expect a big surprise! Although the hotel is small but has all the facilities, the hot spring lounge has not only ice water, but also a massage chair TV and comics. We chose the sea view room on the first floor and actually brought a small courtyard. Morning and evening meal is the hotel's Kaiseki cuisine, exquisite and delicious. If you are a service, there is an aunt who is super enthusiastic. Others may feel like a family, but the overall is great. After dinner, it’s nice to go to the seawall behind the hotel!

The service staff will come out to greet you before entering the hotel. The guide to check in is very friendly. We have reserved a room type➕Dinner and breakfast are both eaten in the restaurant. Guests will be asked to choose a time slot. Dinner is a Japanese set meal, including sashimi, Wagyu, cooked rice, soups, desserts, the service aunt is warm and friendly👍The room is not as big as expected, overlooking Amanohashidate Bay, the housekeeping staff will make the bed when you go to dinner, the breakfast is delicious😋There are dishes for adults and children Slightly different, the overall feeling of the room is very comfortable👍👍👍There is a shuttle bus to Amanohashidate Station when checking out👍It takes about 10 minutes to walk

Have you ever toured a historic home and wondered what it would be like to stay there? Well this is it. Built in 1690, and still run by 13 generations of family, you may see some wear and tear, but you will also be treated to 13 generations of hospitality (they're currently training the 14th generation). Obviously, not much is original to 1690, but you can see each generations upgrades through the years. I was amused by the early 1970s Japanese bathrooms and lighting and hope they keep it, it's just as much apart of history as the rest of it. After a long day of travel, to get here, we ate a great sushi dinner near by and came back, showered and put on kimonos in this room, well it turned into a total photo shoot, because the room is that cool. Slept great on the mats and woke up and had coffee delivered to the room to while looking at the gardens. We loved it so much, we wanted to stay another night. But they were sold out. This is when Seiichiro, the owner really made a difference. He called someone during an almost sold out weekend and got us another room. We were sad to leave, but will never forget his kindness. Before we left Seiichiro took us on a tour of the hotel to show us the artwork and amazing craftsmanship in the oldest parts of the hotel. This was truly a highlight of entire time in Japan.

As for the facilities in the room, you can't expect much since it's a historical inn. The communal bath also gives a sense of age. There is no problem with sweating, but I would like to see the dressing room with a frosted glass door covered with a noren curtain that can be seen from the outside. However, the food outweighs the negatives. Perhaps because it has a restaurant/café, you can feel that the main thing at this inn is the food. There is a supermarket right next door so you can go for some shopping, which is a plus. The inn had good access to surrounding sightseeing spots, and overall I was satisfied with the inn.

This hotel is very historic and clean. If you can't live in Amanohashidate, it's pretty convenient. It's about 15 minutes walk to the train station. There is a department store nearby and there are many restaurants upstairs to choose from. The breakfast is Japanese, simple and delicious. The counter clerk can speak a little English, so communication is not a big problem. The toilets are shared and very clean. Most of the guests are Japanese and very polite.

I stayed once before the renewal, but at that time it was not a very beautiful room for compliments. I stayed for the first time after the renewal this time, but it was no longer a separate inn. The room was comfortable, the view of the Uji River and the open-air bath with the room were large and comfortable. The staff was also pleasant and I want to go again if I can afford time and money. However, all dinners during the 3 nights were steak kaiseki shops, but until the first 2 nights, the chef was very good, and the meat was soft and I was able to eat very comfortably. There was a preschool child who was originally prohibited from entering the store at the last 3 night dinner (except for rental), and it was not possible to slow at all in the gaga gaga and the ugly gakinko. It seems that it was a family of your good, but I wanted the line drawing around it to be good.

This is the first time I have seen all-you-can-drink beer, tea and other drinks in a hotel! The world plaza in the hotel provides a good space to chat and enjoy Kyoto snacks. The boss was very nice and took the initiative to help us carry our luggage. He also thoughtfully provided us with information about Kyoto’s various special cultures and the customs and customs of Kyoto! Although my Japanese is not very good, the boss still told me that this place is very suitable for whether you want to experience a Kyoto-style hotel or a backpacker alone. The experience here made me realize more different kinds of people and also gave me enough rest! Next time I come to Kyoto, this will be my first choice!
