A wonderful stay combining comfort, style, and a perfect location, making it an excellent base.
Pros:

What I liked most about staying at Insomnia Kyoto Oike Hotel was its perfect balance of modern comfort and Japanese simplicity. The rooms were beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and made excellent use of space. The location was ideal, with easy access to Kyoto's temples, shopping streets, restaurants, and public transport while still feeling peaceful and relaxed.

The staff were warm, welcoming, and always happy to help with recommendations and directions. I also appreciated the comfortable beds, quiet atmosphere, and thoughtful amenities that made it easy to unwind after a day of exploring the city. Overall, it was a stylish, convenient, and comfortable base for discovering Kyoto, and I would happily stay there again.

Cons:

That we couldn't stay longer. There really was not a thing I didn't like. Promise!

10/10 stay with fantastic amenities and great location
Pros:

Best hotel we’ve ever stayed in!! The facilities and amenities were so nice. We particularly loved the free pastries, coffee, and juice 24/7 and the free bike rentals. The lounge area was really nice with music playing on vinyl at all hours. The staff were incredible. If we come back to Kyoto, we will stay here for sure!

Cons:

Nothing, it was great.

Best hotel in Kyoto for me. Would love to stay here again!
Pros:

Loved everything! My only regret is that I didn't stay here longer (They had no availability for the other nights I needed.) Anyway, I'll just look forward to next time. It's less than 3 minutes to the nearest subway exit (Karasuma-Oike Station Exit 2). Lots of restaurants, stores, and cafes nearby. The Manga Museum is less than 5 minutes away, too. The hotel is just beautiful. It has the chillest vibe, has a great selection of vinyl (okay, maybe not the Nickelback one, but I guess the owner likes them), and free food and drinks at the lobby. The room I got was a corner room, and it was exquisite. Super clean, great soundproofing as construction was happening across the street, and I couldn't hear any of it. The shower was fantastic, seriously. It's a wet room, but I think most people will like it. And the staff are just beyond exceptional. The older lady who checked me in (I am so sorry I didn't get her name) was the most professional and accommodating. She went above and beyond, making sure my bag reached the next hotel, gave me all the info, and just made sure I was settled. Definitely one of the best receptions I've gotten from a hotel in Japan. Kyoto itself is overrun (and slightly overhyped), but I wouldn't mind coming back after a long day to the calm and chill vibe of this hotel. Can't wait to go back!

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was great!

Hotel bem localizado, com quartos amplos, staff simpatica, ótima estrutura e ao lado de kombini
Pros:

Hotel com uma estrutura ótima, bem localizado e com quartos um pouco maiores do que os convencionais do Japão. Tem uma área com comidinhas, bebidas, jogos e guias pra você aproveitar a cidade da melhor forma possível. Do lado de uma kombini e de restaurantes.

Pros:

Ambiance tres sympa dans le lobby avec café, boissons non alcoolisées et viennoiserie en.libre service. La chambre était très bien agencée et l'emplacement proche de Kazaruma oike très pratique. On peut laisser les bagages si on arrive avant les 15h, ou après le check-out

Cons:

Travaux en face de la chambre (immeuble en construction), donc du bruit à partir de 7am...

Amazing stay - a lovely gem!
Pros:

Hotel is amazing! We loved the selection of drinks and snacks in the lobby. Each night, we would sit in the lobby with a beer and play a board game, which was actually a highlight of our trip.

Cons:

Slightly away from the main area (15m walk) which didnt really bother us as we preferred the quiet but may bother others

Great hotel, would come back!
Pros:

I really liked this hotel. The lobby has a good vibe with vinyls playing, free hot drinks and pastries.
It’s close to my favourite coffee shop, Kurasu also and the location is great for getting around (few minutes from Karasuma Oike station) while still being peaceful.

Room was also bigger than I expected (relative to usual Japan sizes). Very soundproof too. We were by the elevator which I was worried about, but I didn’t hear anything.

They have 6 first come first serve bikes!

Cons:

No where nearby/open to get breakfast (not their fault) - there’s only so many pastries you can eat.

Loved the stay. Would definitely stay again!
Pros:

Interior decor was amazing. Rooms were a decent size and bathrooms were bigger than others I had which was really nice!! Good location right next to a 7/11 and a station with good links for the city!!

Cons:

Some building work going on across from the hotel, which isn’t their fault, but as my window faced out to it, it was annoying.
