My husband and I had a great time in Kyoto Itoya hotel, the room was spacious compared with the Japanese room size and it was really clean.All the staff was really friendly, hardworking and very attentive to every detail.The breakfast was really good and tasty with different options.The hotel is located within walking distance 10 mins from the nearest metro station and there are plenty of restaurants nearby and a family market store.The only negative thing I would mention is that they don't clean your room briefly in a daily basis, if you don't stay more than a week. We stayed 4 nights, but they change your towels every day.Overall, we really recommend this hotel 😊

Pretty good hotel in Kyoto. It's not too close to anything, about 30 min walk to Gion. The rooms are ok but the toilet is split from the shower/sink so you have to walk across the room to get to it. Probably ok for some but we had 4 people in a room and there were suitcases everywhere.There is also only one elevator for 13 floors and the stairs are for emergencies only. I really wish the stairs were available to use. We were on floor 4 and needing to wait up to 3 minutes for an elevator to go down 4 stories is silly.The drink voucher was nice. Includes soft drink or sake/wine. +300 yen for beer.

Hotel is well located in terms of metro station and more important bus station in front of door, as we did a lot by bus in Kyoto.|We booked excluding breakfast and organized breakfast via supermarkets around the corner. …

The hotel is very clean and in a great location , train stop is 10 minutes walk and bus stop to Kyoto station is about 3 minutes walk from the hotel. There is a seven eleven just outside the hotel for groceries , coffee ice cream etc. The staff are extremely friendly and polite. There is an option to leave your luggage so you can have a walk around bag free on the day you check out. The rooms have a TV , power shower , fully functioning electronic toilet with Bidet and warm toilet seat. Their is air con in the rooms and an air purifier. The breakfast was delicious , it's a set menu and the taste and presentation were lovely. Highly recommend staying here. If you have any questions please feel free to ask any questions.

A clean, central hotel with very kind staff! The location is great; we walked to Kiyomizu-dera (30 minutes) without any challenges from the hotel. It’s also super close to Kyoto’s downtown area (10 minute walk) and the gion district (20 minute walk). Right next to the hotel is the bus stop that takes you to all the popular attractions, and it’s between train stations that are about 5 minutes in either direction.When you arrive, you get a free drink voucher. I suggest the seasonal rosemary lemonade! Amazing.

Very charming hotel in what felt like a more quiet area, yet still accessible to various parts of the city by train and bus. The hotel was very clean and sharp looking, and the staff was very friendly.
