Hot Springs Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

This was my second stay, and it was just as clean and comfortable as before. Though, I'm not sure why there was no Oden for breakfast this time. What I love most is the hotel's location. It's right next to Kyoto Station, yet surprisingly quiet, and also very close to the 206 bus stop, which takes you directly to attractions like Kiyomizu-dera Temple. After a long day of sightseeing, a soak in the bath on the 10th floor is incredibly relaxing. We rented kimonos and chose to return them at the hotel; the front desk was very helpful in taking care of them, so the service was excellent. You can also rent curling irons, but a 3000 JPY cash deposit is required.

The place was so good I didn't want to check out. So cosy, client friendly, traditional Japanese style, a great window view - all made it one of my most memorable hotel stays. Soft tatami beds, wooden decor elements - wow, I wish I could live there.

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.

This was probably the best hotel I stayed at in Japan. It felt incredibly clean — guests must remove their shoes at the entrance and store them in the shoe cabinets, so everyone walks around in socks. Breakfast was impressive, with a wide selection of Japanese and Western dishes and even matcha latte. The onsen was outstanding: there were at least four pools, so it never felt crowded, plenty of shower cubicles, and a steam room with a TV. After each onsen session we could enjoy free ice cream or ice lollies and a bowl of ramen. The rooms blend modern design with traditional tatami style. The beds were firm and very comfortable, and although our room was on the smaller side (typical for Japan), it had everything we needed. We were also treated to POLA hair and body products in the bathroom and the onsen. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and can’t wait to return next time I’m in town.

This European-style hotel is centrally located in Kyoto, close to the subway and bus stops. Downstairs, you'll find restaurants, convenience stores, and a Starbucks. It's also not far from Nishiki Market and the shopping street, making it an excellent location. There's a free spa on the top floor, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The hotel even has its own chapel. Special praise goes to the breakfast, which offers a wide variety of options, including ice cream! The service staff are also very friendly and approachable.

We stayed at Green Rich Hotel Kyoto for two nights, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. It was truly one of my favourite hotels — and that’s saying a lot, considering I’m a seasoned traveler who has visited 36 countries. Location: The hotel is conveniently situated about a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station, with multiple bus stops located right at the entrance. Getting around the city couldn’t have been easier. Service: The level of hospitality was excellent. From the front desk to the restaurant staff, everyone was attentive, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Breakfast: The breakfast buffet exceeded expectations, offering a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Even better, it’s included in the room rate, making it exceptional value for money. Room: Although the room was not particularly large, the space was utilized very efficiently. A pleasant surprise was the massage chair in the room, which provided a wonderful way to relax after long and busy days of sightseeing. Overall, Green Rich Hotel Kyoto delivered an outstanding stay in every aspect. I will definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Kyoto. Bravo!

We’ve had the best stay at Ryokan Hirashin! The room was very clean, the size amazingly big, futons very comfortable, there was a big pot that always holds hot temperature. The staff very friendly and welcoming. Onsen was amazing, too. The location is just perfect! It’s 2 stops from Kyoto station and so close to Nishiki market and then also Gion district, plus very convenient if you’re a nighttime lover cuz you can just walk back home. It takes kinda same time to go to other further places like Fushimi Inari or Arashiyama, as it’s located kinda in the middle of them all. I’d say the pictures don’t really give you the vibe, it feels much better when you’re in there. To sum up, it’s a traditional looking ryokan room but in the hotel building, which in convenient cuz you don’t need to be too quiet as in more traditional ones. I highly highly highly recommend this place, we’ve really had the best time here!

The 4 nights stay at Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho Onsen Hotel was relaxing and memorable, with cozy tatami-style rooms and very clean facilities. The private onsens were excellent, and the free snacks, ramen, and matcha drinks made the experience feel extra welcoming. The location near Umekoji Kyoto Nishi Station and bus stop made getting around Kyoto convenient.

1. The room rate was incredibly expensive, over HKD 10,000 per night for a family of four, but it felt absolutely worth every penny! 2. Our room overlooked the river, offering a peaceful and beautiful view. 3. The semi-open-air private onsen (hot spring) was huge, easily accommodating three adults at once. 4. The 'one-night, two-meals' package was fantastic; every dish was exquisite, and dinner even included seasonal snow crab!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The location was very convenient, making it easy to get around. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay here again.
