Hotel Kuu has it all. 5/5! Room: Clean, spacious, tatami mats, sleep wear, slippers/flipflops, bidet, all amenities from razors to hair dryers and the basic toiletries and shower needs. Facilities: Breakfast, transport services, Onsen (Tattoo-friemdly - can use even when you have tattoos), even a vending machine near the Onsen/a (Small and Large) with Large Onsen having a sauna and a cold bath, onsen, and an outdoor onsen. Staff: Friendly and can speak English well. The hospitality is something I'd come back for. Location: Near public transportation and the Kyoto Station for Shinkansen. Near food places for all types just walk around and you'll find plenty in the direction of the Kyoto station around it. In front is already a temple/shrine and a bus away from the popular tourist spots. I will definitely stay here again 5/5

Great location. It was about 5-6 minutes from Kyoto train station . Also the main bus stations just located in front of Kyoto Station. Kyoto tower s just a few minutes from hotel.and a beautiful temple just across street from hotel. Shops and eats within walking distance. The hotel staffs are excellent and helpful. The staffs are try their best to assist you. All the staffs are speaking English. The room are comfortable and good size in Japan’s standard.they let us borrowed umbrella everyday while we were there. Plus starting the month of Nov.2025, the hotel Has free shuttle bus to take you to the attractions. We wished the hotel had that serviced while we were there. It is not a big hotel . I think it is mix between Japanese and western . It is a female and male public hot tube in the hotel. It was nice to a hot bath after a long day . I definitely would book this hotel again .

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was a terrific size for a Japanese hotel room; the dark decor was a little dated but the temple view was fantastic. The hotel was a very walkable distance from Kyoto station and all in all, we had a very enjoyable stay here. Would highly recommend!

We arrived an hour before check-in with hopes to drop our luggage. Instead, we were told that our room was ready, if we wanted to freshen up before exploring the area. Asked for dinner recommendations and were given a map of the local restaurants to choose from. It rained a bit so they loaned us umbrellas. The onsen were marvelous. Laundry facilities on site. A complimentary shuttle bus to the city's must-see sites. Close to the train station. What more can I say?!
