Kyoto Itoya Hotel

Localisation of the hotel is very good. It is quite close to the Kyoto Station but also to Nishiki Market where you can find grate food but also buy some souvenirs. Bus transport is the best idea to travel between almost all tourists attractions. Personel of the hotel was very kind and professional. I recommend this hotel if you planning trip to Kyoto.

The location of this hotel is great! It is located on a main street, easy accessible from the subway or buses. Upon arriving and throughout our stay, the staff was always very kind and able to help us. We were staying here over new year's, and were having lots of trouble finding a restaurant, so the staff tried their best to help us, very kind! The rooms itself can be small, but we did have one twin room which was very spacious. However, the double were rooms were not nearly as small as our stay in Tokyo, and there was still enough space to move around and put our luggage. The lobby/library area is nice too, you are allowed to bring your own food into the lobby and chill there whenever. Definitely would recommend!

10/10. I stayed in 6 hotels during my stay in Japan and this was the best one. If you're looking to stay in a more regular hotel, rather than an expensive fancy traditional hotel for thousands of dollars. This is your best bet. Very kind and friendly staff at the counter, with a nice and relaxing breakfast option in the morning. The outside balcony next to the breakfast area (lobby) is a nice little area to chat and even smoke as you overlook the streets and shops (1 floor above ground). We headed to the hotel a couple hours before check in to drop our bags off but they had rooms available which they kindly offered to let us check in early. I had an individual room with a double or queen size bed and there was plenty of space in the hotel compared to others I have tried (Japanese hotel room size can be quite small). I would highly recommend getting a room to yourself as it is always worth it. Bathroom - it was very nice and the overall aesthetic of the wooden bathroom door felt traditional but modern. It was quite spacious compared to other hotels. Location - as activities in Kyoto such as the shrines, shopping area, and clubs are quite spread out, it's fairly close to the areas you will visit in Kyoto so you can walk, uber/taxi, or use public transport to get to your desired area for the day. Cleanliness - the hotel was very clean and classy. Breakfast option - nice relaxed environment for a coffee/breakfast. I chose the eggs benedict for breakfast but I cannot remember the other option/s. My room had different light fixtures which could be individually adjusted to fit your mood/preference. Overall - I think the customer service and the quality you get for this price was definitely worth it and exceeded my expectations. I'll stay here again next time I am in Kyoto. This is a hidden gem for sure.

The location was safe for walking at night, close to the train station and bus lines. The beds were very comfortable.

Location is just 5steps to the bus stop that takes you everywhere in kyoto. I love the fact that the housekeeping came every day to change our towel. The room size is just nice for the 3 of us. The front desk staffs are super helpful. They had assist me with my luggage delivery problem and solved it. I also appreciate the hotel provided microwave at the lobby cafe where we can use for free to heat up our own meal.
