Although a bit hard for our taxi driver to find (the entryway is a small alley), the location was SUPER convenient. Walking distance to several restaurants and we started our Japan journey with an easy 2 minute walk to Nijo Castle. The most important factor of this hotel is being centrally located within Kyoto. We were an easy bus ride to all the main sightseeing hotspots (Bamboo forest, 10,000 gates, Golden Temple, Kiyomizudera, Gion), shopping, restaurants and Kyoto Station. Highly recommended!

Staff was lovely, especially the gentleman who checked us in. He very kindly has upgraded our room free of charge and pointed us to area where we could help ourselves to local drinks and snacks which were all included- lovely touch. Room was beautifully decorated, and the bathroom was equipped with nice Toto, good size bath and lovely shower. The only criticism we had was that the bathroom didn't smell very nice, which put me off from having a bath. Breakfast was ok - very limited choice for vegetarian such as myself, but the husband enjoyed it.

The room was excellent. Complimentary sake in the afternoons was also very nice. Location is a bit of a walk from the nearest subway, but there are plenty of nearby bus stops if you don't need to drag around large luggages.

Nicely appointed hotel with welcoming staff and clean, comfortable, fairly spacious room. It’s possible to walk to attractions such as the old Imperial Palace, but these places are not close by, and a taxi is a more realistic option. Breakfast was nicely varied with Japanese and western items, and elegantly served.

Had such a great stay at Kaya Hotel in Kyoto! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The location made it super easy to get around—close to transport and plenty of great food spots nearby. The staff were lovely and really helpful with recommendations, which made exploring Kyoto even better. It felt like a mix of modern comfort with a bit of that local charm. Would definitely stay here again
