Hated to leave.
Pros:

This is the third time we’ve stayed at Saka Hotel and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. It’s perfectly located - easy walking distance to sights, shops, and restaurants. The onsen is lovely and relaxing. The hotel combines traditional Japanese hospitality with 21st century conveniences.

Perfect combination of modern amenities and traditional inn
Pros:

Amazing location IN Higashiyama. Wonderful to be able to leave hotel and stroll around historic district when it was not crowded. Rooms were so clean and modern, but with charm of a historic Japanese Inn. The option of room with open air soaking tub was totally worth it. Lounge with fresh coffee made mornings wonderful for everyone in our group. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. One person in our group had the Japanese breakfast and said it was good, but the rest of us just enjoyed good coffee from the lounge. Short walk or taxi ride from hotel into the center of Kyoto, but hotel is located on a very quiet street.

Cons:

Many of the smaller, traditional restaurants in the area would not take walk-ins for dinner and since we didn't have reservations we were turned away.

Living in the lap of luxury
Pros:

Location and breakfast were great. The best part about the stay was the private outside bath, it was amazing. Probably in and out 5 times during a one night stay. Highly recommended.

You must stay here to get the best Japanese experience for your vacation!
Pros:

The Saka hotel felt like a true Japanese experience. We stayed for 3 nights. The room was simply decorated, but was huge compared to Japanese standards. The amenities were generous, complete with fresh yukata to use, separate from pajamas. 3 kinds of slippers for different areas or the room and hotel! The staff, very courteous and friendly. The half board option (breakfast and dinner) was something we looked forward to! The number and quality of courses were exceptional, delicious, healthy, and interesting. Congratulations to the staff and chef for providing a truly memorable experience.
We walked around town and did not have to take any other transportation, except to the train station.
This hotel was the best experience during our Japan trip (and we stayed at 5* hotels in Tokyo and in Osaka).

Pros:

We stayed at the hotel for six nights and enjoyed it very much. The design and overall atmosphere are charming and beautiful. The room is comfortable and has everything you need to feel at ease. It’s lovely to walk around the hotel wearing the yukata provided. The guest lounge is also very pleasant, offering hot drinks, light refreshments, and ice cream throughout the day.

We would especially like to mention the wonderful hotel staff, who kindly responded to every request and question we had.

Both breakfast options — the Japanese and the Western — are excellent. It’s worth coming with an open mind and trying the Japanese breakfast even if you’re not used to it. It’s a wonderful experience.

Highly recommended.

Amazing location and great comfortable room and bath!
Pros:

Ideal location and really comfortable room. Attentive staff and beautiful setting.

Cons:

The only improvement could be the music that plays in the hallways is repetitive and the lounge area was set with a high temperature.
