Really enjoyed our stay here spacious apartment furnished with most everything you’d need for a short stay! The hotel may be rated 2 stars but our view over the river from our balcony was 5. Alex and rest of staff super helpful; lots of services offered such as helping us get our luggage to the next hotel etc.

Suitable for families, with large space, kitchen, washing machine and bathtub, right next to Kamogawa River, elegant environment. It is recommended to take a taxi from Kyoto Station. It’s not far to walk to Kiyomizu Temple.Alex and other reception staff are friendly and polite, and there is no problem communicating in English👍The only thing that needs improvement is that the quilt in the Japanese-style room is not clean due to moisture.

We would absolutely stay at the Kyoto Riverview House again. It was clean, comfortable, we loved the view of the river, and the staff at the front desk were all wonderful. Alex and staff were friendly, so pleasant, and helpful with everything from transportation, restaurant reservations, and recommendations for activities or sightseeing. We felt well cared for. Stayed for 6 nights. Good location for Pontocho, Gion, Higashiyama. You do need to take one of the frequent buses (bus stop is 1 block away) or a quick taxi ride to Kyoto Station if you plan to do day trips from there.

We spent 4 nights in this beautiful apartment complex, including 2 children. We had a room at the front, where the view was less, and the room was dark, but also cooler and 2 separate rooms (also nice). It was very spacious, bedrooms, bathroom, separate toilet and living room. The kitchen was also equipped with everything. The table and bench were getting a bit old. The staff was fantastic, lots of tips, helpful and very nice. The hotel is in a fantastic location. 10min. by taxi to the station and against the Kamogawa River, in the middle of Gion district. Lots within walking distance. Good food and drinks around the corner.

Friendliness, location, cleanliness, and surrounding facilities were all excellent. All staff welcome you with a smile. In particular, Alex, who helped us check in, was fluent in both English and Japanese, so communication was very easy! I needed to make a phone reservation to go to the sukiyaki restaurant recommended by the owner of an izakaya in Osaka, but he happily made it for me and I had a delicious meal!The location of the accommodation is next to a small stream next to the Kamo River, and the neighborhood is quiet and charming. You can walk to downtown Kawaramachi for about 10 minutes, and there are delicious bakeries and rice cake shops selling Dorayaki nearby. Of course, there are also 7-Eleven and Daily convenience stores. There seems to be a ramen shop on the way to Kamo River where locals line up, but I haven't been able to go there.There is a small bathtub in the bathroom, and I wanted it so much that I wanted to take it home. It's small, but it's enough to melt away fatigue. There is also an air conditioner in the room, so you can freely cool or heat it. There are plenty of hangers, all amenities are provided, and you can freely bring towels from the first floor, but there was already a generous amount provided, so there was no need to bring additional ones! Next time I come to Kyoto again, I won't hesitate to book this accommodation!

Stayed here with my mom and 18 y/old son. We had a great time! Alex and the rest of the staff were genuinely helpful and friendly. Our room was exactly as pictured (river view apartment) and we were fine without daily housekeeping. Having a washer/dryer plus a kitchenette was appreciated. We were in walking distance to different public transit as well as Kyoto's shopping district. We had plenty of nice restaurant options, local everyday eateries and convenient stores all within walking distance as well. It was a quiet building with a nice view. Highly recommend!

A great place to stay at in Kyoto. It was clean and very spacious. The rooms are self-service apartments and not hotel rooms, but nonetheless the front desk was helpful and spoke good English. The location is a little far from public transport and a taxi is recommended when travelling with luggage.
