Enjoyable stay . Will definitely consider coming back .
Pros:

We stayed in a standard twin room for 5 nights. The room is small but layout is efficient. The window is sandblasted so no city view at all. The bathtub/shower is clean, comfortable and good water pressure.
Overall a nice clean hotel. Services were great everywhere. Breakfast has good variety n delicious. We used coin laundry a few times .
Location is exceptional. We walked to shopping, restaurants, groceries and a few tourist spots. Metro close by.

Cons:

Cannot look out the window . Room s bit on small size .

Beautiful garden view hotel
Pros:

Great location, one of our favourite areas (Sanjo, on the river stream), beautiful gardens (and private) in the hotel, shame we couldn’t open windows or doors to it though! On site onsen was great, breakfast fantastic, good helpful lovely staff, loved the lounge area outside the onsen and laundry area, with chilled water, range of vending machines (including ice cream for after onsen). We enjoyed our room despite being on the small side.

Cons:

Washing machines (standard model around the country it seems) were a bit naff and left clothes wet, were constantly busy (not enough machines for size of hotel). Smoking area is disgusting, makes bathrooms near kitchen area stink. Rooms were a touch compact, and please note the twin bed sizes change in different rooms. We had stayed (as a family of 3) in several twins across japan which always have largish beds that my daughter (4) could share with one of us - the twins in the smaller rooms are not king single and i had to upgrade our room at some what of a cost. The garden view rooms despite being beautiful need better ventilation (eg. To vent steam out to the gardne or let in a little natural cool air).

Pros:

De kamer was super mooi en erg ruim. We hebben vooral genoten van de heerlijke badkamer met het ligbad. De kamers zijn schoon, net zoals de faciliteiten. De onsen is mooi en fijn relaxen na een lange dag.
Het personeel is vriendelijk, behulpzaam en spreekt goed Engels.
De locatie is super, er zijn genoeg restaurants en winkels in de buurt en je bent snel bij een metro station of bij de grote bezienswaardigheden.

Cons:

De bedden waren comfortabel, alleen de kussens waren voor onze voorkeur nogal erg plat.

Highly recommend!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier. The hotel beautifully reflects a traditional Japanese style while still offering modern comfort. The atmosphere is calm and elegant, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring Kyoto.

The rooms were very clean, well-designed, and thoughtfully equipped. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the peaceful ambiance throughout the hotel. The location is excellent—everything is within walking distance, which made getting around incredibly convenient.

Overall, a fantastic experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Очень симпатичный отель
Pros:

Красивый отель, очень комфортный. В номере большое окно с видом на растения, мне очень понравилось. Удобное местоположение, пара минут до метро и главной шоппинг улицы. Мы только пешком по городу гуляли. Есть онсен.

Cons:

В номере нет бутылок с водой, но можно налить ее в кулере на этаже. Убираются через день. Зубные щетки, бритву, крема и тд нужно брать на ресепшене, в номере их нет.

Wonderful room- quiet, clean, and great location. Highly recommend for your next stay in Kyoto.
Pros:

We came celebrating our honeymoon and were amazed by the beautiful rooms and kind service provided. We received a towel art and card on the bed for our honeymoon which was a sweet touch. The room looks exactly like the pictures provided and was beautifully maintained. Amenities are provided at the front desk, and housekeeping comes to change the towels and make up the beds daily. The bathroom was my favorite part about our room. We had a garden facing room and it was so serene to be able to take a nice bath and look out into the garden every night. I would highly recommend this property and would certainly return in the future. The location is great and is only a few minutes walk from the nearest train station.

Cons:

Only downside was that the beds are firm, but this was the case with every hotel we stayed at in Japan. We asked for extra pillows at the front desk and this helped make it a bit more comfortable.
