Southern Kyoto hotel rooms a the Independent

"The hotel location is great. The train is a short walk and there’s even a direct pathway. Not crowded part of town so that was nice too. Hotel is clean and the amenities are above and beyond. Breakfast buffet was also good. Service was top notch. We dropped our luggage off early and it was in our way by check in time."

"Very convenient location great staff very clean "

"This place was great, we had connecting rooms for the two adults and two adult size kids. In case you are wondering like I was, a twin mattress in Japan is bigger than a US twin size but smaller than a full. It would be hard for two people to sleep on it. The location of this hotel cannot be beat. It’s right in the middle of great shopping and restaurants and 2 mins from the Kyoto train station. The Kyoto station has a huge mall in it too. The staff was friendly and always greeted us warmly. "

"Spacious compared to other hotels in the Kyoto station area. Very quiet inside, despite being built within the station. Little kids will enjoy watching the Shinkansen run on the track from the rooms!"

"This is an amazing hotel, very central.location and the room had that little bit more space than the norm which was nice. Very friendly and helpful staff."

"I had 2 rooms booked for my family of 7. We loved everything that they offered! The room was spotlessly clean and beds were very comfortable. We loved the food (free ramen after 9pm, free ice cream and yakult after Onsen bath) and the star of the show is their buffet breakfast! I included the breakfast option for our stay and boy was I glad! It was well worth adding breakfast with your booking as it is cheaper than buying breakfast in the morning. The Onsen was quite popular so we had to go at midnight when there wasnt much people using it. It was very satisfying for my girls and I to experience Onsen as adults. Next time, we will be booking a longer stay as we all felt the tine we had was way too short. "

"Good food and services! "

"The revolving rooftop restaurant offered spectacular views at breakfast, which was great. The Kyoto floor room was fabulous. Close to Kyoto station, which was very convenient. Staff very helpful. Great hotel. Fantastic stay."

"Hotel is across the street on the south side of Kyoto station (the less busy side) and is beside a large vertical mall. Makes for very convenient access to the train and subway lines, although Kyoto station is not the easiest to navigate."
