Romantic Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

"My girls declared this the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at! Their first impression of the room was just “okay”, it was clean, comfortable, and a decent size, with separate toilet and shower areas, plus a sliding door that could close off the sleeping area. But what really won them over were all the little extras that this dormy inn offers. We booked the room with breakfast, and it was absolutely worth it. The breakfast spread had a great variety, and although they have a queue system in place, we never had to wait. After walking close to 20,000 steps exploring Kyoto each day, the onsen became the highlight of our evenings. The girls would head straight for the complimentary ice cream afterwards, followed by the massage chairs (when they weren’t occupied, they’re very popular!). We would then end the night with the free late-night ramen. 😆 That became our nightly routine for all four nights, and it made our stay in Kyoto even more memorable before we moved on to Osaka. We’d definitely stay here again. The only question we had was, why doesn’t the women’s bath have a cool/cold plunge pool like the men’s? It would have been the perfect way to cool down after the hot onsen!"

"A truly comfortable stay. The hotel boasts a fantastic design aesthetic, from the lobby to the rooms, seamlessly blending Japanese aesthetics with modern design. The in-room lighting is superb, and both the bed and sofa were incredibly comfortable. The space is generous enough for two people, so it never felt cramped. The location is superb; it's in a quiet area, yet just a short walk to bustling areas. Convenience stores and restaurants are abundant nearby. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and provided impeccable service. Outstanding value for money."

"After landing in Osaka, I took the Hello Kitty train directly to Kyoto Station. From there, I transferred to the Karasuma Line for two stops and exited from exit 4 (which has an elevator 🛗). Upon exiting, there's a 7-Eleven on the left, and the hotel is just a 2-minute walk further, up a long hallway to the second floor. The service in Kyoto is always excellent. I was able to find a good price before the May Day holiday. I've stayed at Mitsui before, but the location here is even better, with bus stops closer. Kiyomizu-dera, Arashiyama, and Kinkaku-ji are all just one stop away. The breakfast is traditional Kyoto style, light and delicious, and the elderly ladies serving were very polite. The front desk also provides a wide variety of toiletries."

"The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from Kyoto Station (depending on your luggage size and amount). It's incredibly convenient for exploring various attractions from Kyoto Station, which also offers a wide array of shopping and dining options. The hotel's service and cleanliness are outstanding. You can pick up disposable amenities yourself from the right-hand corner of the lobby, facing the front desk. Both the hot spring bath and the laundry/drying room are located on the 10th floor."

"This hotel deserves a glowing review, no question about it! The location is super convenient, right outside Umekoji-Kyotonishi Station on the San-in Line, and next to the Railway Museum. The hotel design is beautiful and grand, and the rooms are huge – really, really spacious. Cleanliness is also impeccable. The front desk staff are incredibly friendly and attentive; they remember guests' needs, which is a really thoughtful touch. Honestly, staying here made me love Kyoto even more!"

"We had a good experience in this hotel. The rooms are very clean, the bathroom is nice, the space is small but comfortable. You can store your luggage under the beds, which works great to have more space. The staff is also friendly, and the location is pretty good. The smoking area is really small and cold. But all in all we had a great time in here."

"Great hotel to stay in with the Onsen at Level 1! We enjoyed our 4 day 3 nights stay and was given the highest floor and a corner room! Thank you to the staff team for the pleasant hospitality service. One thing is that the room blinds were a bit dusty. Other than that, all is perfect! We had a car hence parking was easy at the hotel however charges were pretty expensive if we just wanted to come back to hotel for 1 hr or so and not sure if it’s within the hotel’s control but we had budgeted for it. The hotel has a daily parking coupons as well which helped if we stayed overnight and longer. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Thank you!"
