Southern Kyoto hotel rooms a the Independent

"I'm thoroughly impressed with the service I have received at Kyoto Tokyu hotel. I have stayed in other hotels in Japan, but this is one hotel where I felt really welcome, taken care of, and safe as a single woman traveller. The service staff have excellent "omotenashi" skills and are very generous, and I felt very comfortable communicating with them. Although the room was a basic standard room, the faciliites were nothing short of excellent. It was very easy for me to visit the top locations in Kyoto by commuting by bus near the hotel. Most hotels allow for check-in at 3 p.m. and check-out at 10 a.m., but at Tokyu, you can check-in at 2 p.m. and check-out at 11 a.m. I thought this was really great. Overall, it was very much worth every yen I spent on the room. I will definitely stay at this hotel when I return to Kyoto, and will for sure recommend their services to people I know. Thank you very much, Hotel Tokyu! (P.S. I thought it was really cool that they had the option to play the radio in the room, and the lady staff who helped me out in the room was really kind!)"

"Lots of great little restaurants close by, including K-ing coffee where we had great coffee and snacks. Nice quiet hotel and conveniently located. Helpful staff. We loved it."

"Really great hotel. It has an amazing breakfast buffet that starts really early so perfect for early risers. The laundry room is convenient although you need to compete with the rest of the guests to get a machine, and you have the issue that if it doesn't ddry well you need a second load. The rooms are comfortable with all the necessary amenities. Perfect when coming from the train station"

"We loved it had to walk to see attractions but we love walking. Super nice hotel and stay "

"Brilliant "

"Good"

"Location is amazing! Right next to Kyoto station. Room is clean and spacious! "

"Located only a couple of blocks from the main train station, this hotel was a great pick. Incredibly clean as you must take your shoes off at the entrance and roll your luggage through water before entering the lobby, and your room. The variety of hot springs baths you can choose from and the extras, such as evening noodles, ice creams and massage chairs make this a great place for families to stay. There are a number of reasonably priced restaurants nearby along with a token Don Quijote just down the street. Also on the same road as public buses 205 and 206 which take you to the tourist attractions such as the golden Pavillon. "

"This hotel was amazing! It was right across from the main Kyoto station and after the long trip it was the perfect distance. The staff were super friendly and helpful when checking in and asking for info about the city. The room was fantastic, roomy (by Japan standards). Bathroom was great! I definitely recommend this hotel! Breakfast buffet option is great as it offers lots of Japanese and western foods."
