Nicely appointed hotel with welcoming staff and clean, comfortable, fairly spacious room. It’s possible to walk to attractions such as the old Imperial Palace, but these places are not close by, and a taxi is a more realistic option. Breakfast was nicely varied with Japanese and western items, and elegantly served.

Had such a great stay at Kaya Hotel in Kyoto! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The location made it super easy to get around—close to transport and plenty of great food spots nearby. The staff were lovely and really helpful with recommendations, which made exploring Kyoto even better. It felt like a mix of modern comfort with a bit of that local charm. Would definitely stay here again

Location was exactly what we wanted from this portion of our family holiday. Hidden amongst the small streets of Kyoto and a short taxi ride from nearly everything. Room was very spacious and staff were helpful. There is a an extremely well stocked supermarket + pharmacy withing walking distance which was great. Highly recommend.

The hotel was located in a quiet neighbourhood with a decent amount of walkable options nearby for entertainment and food. A bus stop is located less than 5 minutes away as well. The staff was great and accommodating, the free drinks from 3-6 were a very nice touch, the room was both looked nice and was clean while being decently spacious. The buffet breakfast was decent, however for 2750 yen it was a bit pricy. Would stay again for sure.

A vey good option in Kyoto

This hotel was perfect for our needs and our trip of 3 days. 3 double beds for 4 people. Room was big, comfortable, impecable clean and well equiped. Easy access on a quiet street but with food options around. The staff was welcoming and always nice, they provided free bottles of water and clean the room while we were there even tough they have a eco cleaning days system. I defitenely recommend this hotel if you stop in Kyoto.

Really nice aesthetic to the hotel. However, No washing facilities which is annoying when travelling with family. Also no black out blinds so the room is light at sunrise! Location is ok, some small restaurants and convenience stores, however away from shopping area so we had to get taxis everywhere.

Beautiful hotel. Super clean and beautify transitional Japanese decoration. Staff is nice and friendly. Only problem is that it’s not too close to San Jo and Si Jo which is city centre. But Kyoto is pretty small. One way taxi is about $15 AUD.
