Hot Springs Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

Traveling with my mom, we chose Hotel Lotus-no-Yu in Kyoto, and it was the most memorable hotel of the trip! It has a very distinct Kyoto charm, is conveniently located very close to Kyoto Station, and the staff are polite and gentle. Since it was close to a holiday, there were a lot of people, which led to some crowding, and we had to queue for breakfast (you can get a number online first and then go down when your number is called). However, the breakfast was very rich. The onsen was very comfortable, and I would definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kyoto; I imagine the experience would be even better if we avoided holidays. The only thing is that you have to take off your shoes at the entrance, and when there are a lot of people, it can get a bit smelly. It would be great if they could do something about the odor. 😂

As is common for Japan, the rooms are quite compact, but this hotel boasts excellent facilities. They provide Pola brand toiletries, and everything felt spotlessly clean. The public bath was also immaculately maintained. The staff were professional and courteous. Its location is a major plus, offering a very convenient walk to Kyoto Station. While the price might be a bit higher, it's absolutely justifiable for the quality and convenience offered.

The hotel's top floor boasts a fantastic large public bath and lounge, offering excellent views for watching the sunset and the city's nightscape. Plenty of dining options are available right downstairs, and the provided toiletries and skincare products are superb. Its location near Sanjo-dori is very convenient, putting you close to many modern historical buildings, including the Museum of Kyoto. Despite some slightly dated facilities, the overall experience is excellent, offering fantastic value for money. A room rate of around 400 is considered exceptional value for Kyoto.

Cozy hotel with spacious rooms, and great onsen with indoor and outdoor shared bath. Place is clean and has a nice vibe to it. Walking distance from Kyoto station, but that’s also the closest subway station which is not ideal. Hotel is really strict with checkout, I have moved out of room right after 11, and while closing the door I could already hear the phone ringing. Each extra hour cost 3300 yen, which I think is crazy when you compare to the room rate. Other than that hotel has washing units separated by genders, a lot of vending machines and restaurant that serves Sukiyaki/shabu-shabu

Kaiseiki dinner was splendid. 2 nights with different food varities Breakfast is buffet style and offers more towards Japanese style than Western Train station is just 50m walk which can transfer to Kyoto station easily For self drive, car park is within the hotel premises but must pay 2000 yen per night. Ramen is served as supper every night if wanted more

The room facilities are good, with Japanese tatami. The bathroom, washroom, and toilet are separated, but not cramped (if not, the space would be very large). The breakfast was a bit unexpected (first time traveling in Japan), it was a full salty breakfast, sashimi, soup, etc. (with a small dessert). My 10-year-old child is not used to such a breakfast, and I am not used to eating sashimi in the morning, but it is a beautiful presentation. There is no coffee for breakfast. The hotel is located in a quiet residential area, which may not be the most convenient for bringing children; The service staff is very enthusiastic and polite, but their English communication skills are limited, and there are a few small things (cancelling breakfast, not cleaning the room, etc.) that need to be repeated and confirmed several times. The overall feeling is still good.

I chose this hotel for my trip to Amanohashidate. Aside from being a bit far and inconvenient without a car, everything else was fine. It offers great value for money; the decor is a bit old but very well maintained. There's just one thing I hope they can improve: when checking in, perhaps they could ask if guests need help laying out the futon. I ended up sweating after trying to put on the duvet cover myself, making my shower a bit pointless. It would be helpful to offer assistance for those unfamiliar with setting up Japanese futons.

I stayed at a Dormy Inn in Tokyo many years ago and still fondly remember their complimentary evening noodles. This trip was a bit of a nostalgic return, though I didn't expect so many people enjoying the noodles; there was a queue every night. The hotel is very close to Kyoto Station, making transportation incredibly convenient, and the breakfast spread was also excellent. While the room wasn't large, it was well-laid out and fully equipped. Check-in was a very friendly process, and self-checkout was quick and easy. The only downside was the slightly subpar cleanliness; on the day I checked in, I noticed an odd smell near the toilet, which only improved after I cleaned it myself. Also, continuous stays don't require an extra cleaning fee, which Ctrip had misleadingly suggested.

Thank you very much, we really enjoyed our stay with you! Your townhouse was very cozy and fully equipped. Comfortable house clothes, robes and slippers for any occasion (for the street, balcony, toilet and home) made our stay comfortable. The beds, although on the floor, were very comfortable. The mats felt nice and warm. The bathroom with wooden trim looks unusual and stylish. The small rock garden adds a nice accent. The Japanese-style breakfast was an interesting experience, especially the process of making soup yourself. The code entry on the door was very convenient. Thank you!

This Modern Ryokan is absolutely beautiful. The room, corridors and dinning area are clean. It's good to experience this in Japan. Their Japanese breakfast set is filling. The Public bathhouse is a must try! You need to remember to read the instructions at the door before entering the bathouse as a sign of respect. They provide robes and slippers that you can use in the vicinity of the property. They also offer massage but remember to book between 1pm -10pm. Overall, it is highly recommended! You will regret booking just for a day like we did.
