Pros:

Our favorite stay out of our entire trip. The amenities from this hotel was marvelous. Free drink evening drink was something to look forward to always. Didn't use our bathtub once because we used the public bath every single night - equipped with a hot tub, cold plunge, sauna, and showers. Best way to relax after a long day. Rooms were comfortable, clean, well maintained, good lighting. Staff were very helpful. There was a luggage delivery service with this hotel for a fee. Kujo station was just beside the entrance, bus stop to Gion = easy access, 10 min walk to Kyoto station. Would come again.

Lovely hotel, we always return here when in Kyoto. A complementary drink daily, live music in the lounge and attentive staff. Casual jinbei and slippers provided daily and as well as this is an adults only hotel 👍. Very very close to the subway.

Pros:

Sakura Terrace is well located within a short distance of Kyoto station and a subway entry right outside the entrance. Breakfast buffet is excellent. The only downsude is the small size of the rooms.

Pros:

Location - it’s close to Kyoto station (about 10 mins walk, but any walk more than 3 mins is painful after a long day of sightseeing), has a subway entrance and a few bus stops right outside of the door, but none of them are the major lines, you still need to make quite a bit transitions to get to the attractions. There’s an electronics outlet across the street, not any nice cafe/restaurants around. The street looks more industrial, not appealing at all. If you are looking for a nice place close to Kyoto Station, I’d suggest to look into the opposite side of the station.

Facilities - outdated but still clean. the room is more spacious than the other hotels we stayed in Japan. The lobby area is nice, but the couches and chair cushions look very old and soggy. You can have free alcohol/non-alcohol drinks in the evenings, but selection is very limited. I didn’t buy hotel breakfast, but since there’s no nice cafe nearby, I tried several times to buy breakfast for the next mornings, all sold out.

Lastly, the noise from the streets is pretty bad. You will go to bed with the beeping sound for pedestrian crossing streets all night.

Pros:

Large and comfortable room, friendly staff, walking distance from a Kyoto train station. The hotel offers free coffee/tea from 10 PM to 11 PM and free drinks in the evenings with live entertainment. Separate male and female free large hot baths are open until 1 AM. The internet in my room was not working properly, so I was offered a free device to connect to the internet differently.

Pros:

Easy check in and check out along with good service. Free drink at night and coffee/tea in the morning. Comfy and roomy accomodations close to Kyoto station and Kujo station deposits you right outside hotel. Has a washer and dryer ylu can use for free. Only remotely negative thing was that the wifi was a little slow and very slow during peak times.

Pros:

This hotel is only less than 10 minutes walk to Kyoto Station, which many activities (event bus pickup), transportation to airport, or subway near.
Staffs are very friendly and kind.
Room was not too big not too small.

We are glad that we chose this hotel.
If we have chance, we would stay longer!

Pros:

This place was excellent. Price was amazing for a great room and great service. Couldn’t recommend the breakfast more! The area south of the station isn’t as active as north of the station, but this is worthwhile sacrifice to save.
