Although the accessibility to subway stations and other places was not good, the location of the accommodation was in a residential area, so it had a good local atmosphere. The facilities were good, the service was friendly, and everything was good.

The Gate Hotel Kyoto is conveniently located to the shopping area. It was formerly a primary school and the scenery is perfect. My wife and I also enjoyed our cocktails on the top floor with a great view. Perfect stay!

Comfortable stay with an impressive terrace on roof top where you can chill out with the view of Kyoto while soaking your feet, so comfy! Bar time in the evening at the terrace. Small hot bath area yet peaceful ambience.
Small room but well equipped. They suggest to store the luggage under the bed but personally found that it isn't practical for big luggage. Otherwise the mattress is comfortable and the provided amenities are all fine for the stay.
Good location even department stores, shops, restaurants, public transportation, attractions, Gion and etc are in walking distance but still silent enough and I had a good stay here. Also taxi stop is just right in front of the hotel entrance.
Luggage can be store after check out but please check with the time for picking up with the staff.

Hotel location is good but direction instruction to hotel isn't clear. We walked & dragged our baggage thru stairway from train station.
1. Location convenient. To popular tourist IG places need to walk 20mins
2. Food available nearby & mall.
3. Room enough tk sleep with small space to leave your baggage standing.
4. Very basic room.
Comfy to sleep, not too noisy. Thank you.

Let me talk about the size of the room first. Compared with the average Japanese business traveler, this room can be described as super comfortable. There is no sense of oppression. The room facilities are all well equipped, and there should be some, because we go in winter, and there is also a big terrace. Warm stickers are provided, but we just happened to have prepared ourselves so we didn’t take the position. It was in the middle of the Shijo and Wujo stations. If you are pulling luggage, you should pay attention to which exit has an elevator, or you will have to go up the stairs yourself.

Quiet, cozy apartments in a traditional Japanese style. The description is completely true. On the day of check-in, the owners sent the code to the front door by email (please note - the door slides to the side. We were stumped for a long time, we could not get in, backing up and opening the door towards ourselves 😁)

The landlord’s Chinese communication barrier-free environment: two floors, two bathrooms and one bathroom. The layout is very careful and the place is large. The tatami bed, kitchen and toilet facilities are complete, including hand sanitizer, seasonings, detergent, oven, Induction cooker, rice cooker. Transportation: The location is not very convenient. I only found it after walking through several alleys. I was still helped by a Japanese uncle. The positioning was not accurate enough. It is recommended that the host can draw a picture for the guests to make it more convenient. The family is very satisfied, the price is good, and the host also gave red wine!

We were astonished by how close the hotel towards the Kawaramachi, Gion and subway areas, making it super convenient to visit all foodie and sight seeing places. It looks very clean, the staff are super friendly and came all the way to assist us sending back our shopping to Tokyo. If you would make Kyoto your base to see the neighbourhood like Nara, Uji etc, highly recommended this hotel location

If I had to point out a slightly unsatisfactory aspect, it would be the inefficiency of the front desk service. When I asked for a recommendation for the nearest laundry service, they didn’t provide any suggestions at all and were quite perfunctory.
Due to being in a hurry, I asked the front desk to call a taxi to the bus station for me. Instead of taking action, they kept saying that the roads were closed today and that taxis might be delayed, along with a lot of unhelpful comments. This wasted a few minutes. It would have been much better if they had simply gone downstairs to call a taxi and helped solve the problem.
Overall, I felt their service lacked enthusiasm, which was something I was very dissatisfied with. As for location wise, this hotel’s location is UNBEATABLE. I would stay again for the location and nothing else

Kyoto Gion Hotel Guide
Kyoto feels like old Japan – temples, shrines, wooden streets – but with good Wi-Fi and convenience stores everywhere. Must-sees: Fushimi Inari's red gates, the golden Kinkaku-ji temple, and Gion (spot a geisha or someone dressed as one). Food rocks: try matcha sweets, cheap tasty ramen, or fancy kaiseki meals if you wanna splurge.
Getting To & Around Kyoto
No airport in Kyoto. Fly into Kansai (KIX) or Osaka Itami (ITM) – both about 1-1.5 hours out. Kansai gets most international flights; Itami is smaller and closer (good for local flights). Take the Haruka Express train to Kyoto Station for speed, or grab a cheaper highway bus.
Late arrival? A few airport hotels near Kansai run shuttles, but it’s worth pushing to Kyoto Station area.
| Hotel Name | Location (Distance from Kansai Airport) | Services |
| Bellevue Garden Hotel Kansai Airport | Izumisano (3.1 km) | Airport shuttle (pick-up/drop-off, free), luggage storage, wake-up call, restaurant, massage room, Wi-Fi (public areas), taxi booking, 24-hour front desk. |
| Kansai Airport Spa Hotel Garden Palace | Izumisano (3.5 km) | Airport shuttle (pick-up/priority drop-off, free), restaurant, sauna, hot springs, Wi-Fi (public areas), luggage storage, EV charging, taxi booking, laundry, massage room, conference room, parking (fee). |

Downtown Kyoto is walkable if you stay near Kawaramachi or Gion – temples, markets, and alleys are close. Buses are super useful (get a day pass!), as subways don't cover much. Bikes work too, if you don't mind busy streets.
Where to Stay in Kyoto
Kyoto has golden temples next to neon alleys, bamboo forests hiding tiny bars. Pick your vibe:
- Gion The famous bit. Geisha areas, lantern-lit lanes, pricey traditional inns. Perfect for first-timers okay with crowds and cost. Nights are lively; mornings near Yasaka Shrine are quiet.
- Higashiyama Temple central. Charming old streets. See Kiyomizu-dera early without crowds. Quiet at night – shops close early. Best for culture lovers who turn in early.
- Arashiyama Nature spot. Bamboo forests at dawn, river views. Beautiful but quiet – you'll need the train back for dinner or nightlife.
- Kawaramachi Real city life. Covered shopping streets, sushi bars, pubs open late. Best food and only real nightlife, but streets are tight.
What to Do in Kyoto
- Fushimi Inari That red gate tunnel. Go at sunrise to beat crowds. Hike higher for peace – most folks give up quick!
- Kiyomizu-dera Famous wooden temple with great views. (Part is under wraps until 2024, but still worth it). Tip: Drink from the Otowa waterfall for luck (pick health, long life, or smarts).
- Arashiyama Bamboo Grove Packed by 9 AM. Go super early or skip the main path – the nearby temples and river cafes are nicer. The monkey park uphill has awesome views (better than the monkeys!).

GGuest Userとても広くて綺麗なお部屋でした。
景色も良く、友人にも喜んで貰えて良かったです^ ^
深夜まで音出し可能な宿は中々京都には無いので、本当に有り難かったです〜！
注意点は、ホテルとは違って寝巻きやメイク落とし、スキンケア、ヘアケア等は無いので持参することと、食器を使う前は洗った方がいいことくらいですかね…！
本当に楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。ありがとうございました！
8.8/10
AAnonymous UserThis is an excellent value for money during the cherry blossom season. It should be newly renovated. The room is really big in Japan. It is more than enough for two suitcases to be spread out. It is very convenient to go to Yasaka Shrine, Nanzenji Temple, Kiyomizudera Temple, and Shijo Kawaramachi. It can be reached on foot or within 20 minutes by subway bus. The sanitary napkins are separated from wet and dry, and it is a smart toilet for bathing. Turn on the heater when bathing to make it super warm. The service attitude at the front desk is also very good. However, it is important to note that the front desk is unattended before 6 a.m. and after 10 p.m., and you need to walk 200m to their sister hotel for luggage storage. All in all recommended!
