Amazing stay with my husband & two Sons. We are from England, so loved the cultural differences in this hotel. Staff were polite & helpful. Location was round the corner from Kyoto Station. Accessible to subway & meeting points for day trips. Traditional breakfast, which was excellent. They even accommodated me, as vegetarian. We loved the traditional Japanese onken & the yakatas provided for us to relax in. I would whole-heartedly recommend this as a fantastic place to stay & a cultural experience. Thank you

Excellent Japanese style hotel with traditional Japanese breakfast and diner (extra). Staff were professional, friendly and accommodating. Staff replied to two previous emails regarding food allergies and we appreciated their diligence. Proximity to Kyoto Station and walk ability was an 11 out of 10.

An average hotel. No coffee 😔

This is a very average hotel. Location is good, close to Kyoto station but far from night life. The cleanness in the room is decent but the lobby has a bad smell, kind of like old smoke. Pillows are very uncomfortable. The public bath is nice and clean. There is no coffee in the room or in the lobby, you should go and buy coffee in the morning. They provide Japanese style PJ and free beer in the afternoon which is nice.

El edificio parece antiguo, sin embargo la habitación excelente, mucho espacio, todo bien acondicionado, muy cerca de la estación de Kioto, fue una experiencia excelente dormir al estilo japonés en Tatami, todo muy bien. No pudimos disfrutar el desayuno por temas de horario pero creo que hubiera sido muy buena opción también.

Posto tipico da provare per almeno una notte personalmente credo che la seconda sia stata eccessiva in quanto il letto (tatami) l’ho trovato veramente scomodo la colazione è molto particolare in quanto ti servono tofu bollito o noodles di prima mattina

Convenient Location, Clean Rooms, Hot Public Baths

Our stay at Hotel Sanoya in Kyoto was very enjoyable. The hotel is conveniently located close to Kyoto Station and the staff was extremely helpful, professional and friendly. The rooms are Japanese style with tatami and futons, which is exactly how I like it. The rooms were very clean and I did NOT detect any cigarette smoke smell (which can be a consideration in Japanese hotels). The public bath was spacious and hot, though our room also had a private bath tub/shower as well. As a tip, Kyoto Station is big, so in order to find the most convenient exit, head towards the "Porta" section of the station head out Exit A5 and turn left before crossing the street. The hotel is right there! Alternatively, if you want to hit up a combini, Exit A3 takes you out right next to FamilyMart and you just cross the street (with Kyoto tower on your left) afterward to get to the hotel.

2泊しました

朝食ビュッフェは、和食が値段の割に美味しかったです。 お風呂は、シャワーホースにカビが生えたままだったり、清潔感はそこそこでした。スタッフさんは皆さんとても気持ちよく対応して下さいました。 タオル、とっても固かった‼️連泊の場合、頼まないと部屋に入ってこないので布団敷きっぱなしになります。構わない人は、荷物も放り出したまま観光に出られるので便利です。
