Small but good atmosphere, bed was comfortable. The onsen was such a plus to get rid of all your tiredness. The hotel is at perfect location to shop and walk by kamokawa. Staff were friendly. Very clean. Definitely worth it.

Wonderful hotel in Kyoto
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay here. The onsen and the foot bath were such a treat after walking around Kyoto all day. The view from the rooftop bar was beautiful in a daytime and in the evening. The bed was very comfortable too, so we slept great. Overall, it felt cozy, calm, and very welcoming. Would happily stay here again.

Amazing stay, perfect Kyoto base!
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at Sora Niwa Terrace Kyoto. We used it as our hub while exploring Kyoto and doing day trips to Osaka and Nara, and it couldn’t have been in a better location, close to transport, restaurants, and great for walking around the city.

The hotel itself is spotless and beautifully designed, with a calm, relaxing vibe. The rooftop terrace was a highlight! Soaking our feet in the foot spa with a drink in hand after a long day of sightseeing was the perfect way to unwind.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, and everything from check-in to checkout felt smooth and welcoming. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the hotel.

Would absolutely stay here again, highly recommend for anyone visiting Kyoto!

Clean and comfortable
Pros:

The use of the room was very efficiently layer out with comforting wooden materials which is very important in japanese hotels with limited spaces. Every area of the hotel was crisp clean. All you can drink and eat matcha latte and match ice cream were tasty.

Pros:

Our stay was second to none due to the incredible staff, beautiful amenities/onsen, and clean room. The front desk and greeting staff, specifically “Coco”, were so pleased personable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel special during our stay. As this was our honeymoon trip, they provided us extra drink tickets and a box of sweets in our room. There were free soft drinks, tea, coffee etc. available 24/7, as well as a Happy Hour upstairs overlooking the entire city, PLUS a foot bath to soak in the views! We were so thrilled by our honeymoon stay here and cannot wait to return!
