Hotels Near Rakusaiguchi Station in Kyoto

This is my second stay for the first time in about 2 years. National travel support and large communal bath became the decisive factor. There are many restaurants at Kyoto Station where you can use electronic coupons for the ”Today and Attraction Rediscovery Project”. There is also an AEON MALL nearby. Location is perfect for sightseeing at Karatoji Temple. Although the room was old, there was also a baggage rack, which made it a good impression. The large communal bath and breakfast buffet are satisfactory. There is a large step at the entrance of the bathroom with a bathtub, a washbasin, and a toilet, so you need to be careful not to fall in and out.

Overall was okay, a bit far from Kyoto staion. But, hotel has shuttle bus every 20 mins and make it more convenient. Service and amenities were nice. The worst part was humidity of the room and cleanliness (quite low compared to Japanese standard), plus bedsheets were smelly.

The hotel looks dated from the outside, is very modern in the lobby with machines for checking in and out, and then the rooms are also quite dated. The hotel is quite big, and you can be unfortunate to get a room far away from the lifts. The rooms are decent and clean. The bathroom is okay, but there wasn’t much caulk next to the shower so the water from the shower that hit the wall was just sliding down underneath the bath… very strange. On each floor there is one room where you can get ice and water, it also has a vending machine.

Nice and clean hotel, good location to browse the city. The staff are kind and friendly. The rooms are not big but family of 3 with one big piece of luggage can easily fit in. Japanese style room is very charming but you might need some time to adjust to a mattress firmness. The breakfast selection is rather limited and repetitive.

Ala Hotel Kyoto is a charming boutique hotel situated in the heart of Kyoto, offering a blend of traditional Japanese hospitality with modern conveniences. Its location is excellent for tourists, as it provides easy access to many of Kyoto’s famous shrines, temples, and cultural sites. The interior decor of the hotel reflects a tasteful mix of classic and contemporary styles, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Rooms are well-equipped with modern amenities while still maintaining a touch of traditional Japanese aesthetics, such as tatami flooring and sliding shoji doors in some rooms. The service at Ala Hotel Kyoto is noteworthy, with staff demonstrating the attentive and polite service that Japan is known for. They are helpful in providing information about local attractions and transportation, which enhances the overall guest experience. However, while the hotel excels in comfort and service, some guests might find the amenities slightly limited compared to larger hotel chains. The dining options, although satisfactory, may not impress those looking for a more extensive menu.

A new modern hotel located at the cross section of Shijo / Horikawa. The room: clean and tidy, with sufficient lighting, strong hot water from shower head and fresh air conditioning. There are plenty of fast USB charging slots on the desk and next to the beds. Meal: Breakfast is available from the 7-11 store located at the G/F of the hotel; or you can go to coffee shops not too far around. Travel: various bus lines with stops just outside the hotel. Service: polite and friendly English speaking staff I would certainly recommend it to my friends.

I booked the hotel through a accommodations and bullet train package deal. It's located close to the Shijo subway station. The hotel is clean, staff friendly and helpful, and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included in the deal. I opted for the Japanese option. The food was good and fresh coffee was available. 宿泊込みの新幹線ツアーで当ホテルに宿泊しました。地下鉄の四条駅や繁華街に近く、コンビニもすぐそこにありました。 ホテルは清潔でスタッフは親切丁寧に対応下さいました。枕は堅かったですがベッド自体は寝心地が良かったです。 朝食付きのプランでして、和食か洋食を選ぶことができました。和食の豚汁が美味しかったです。

I booked it as a business hotel, but the room was quite large and relaxing. The amenities were also substantial and good. I thought that the result of thoroughly reducing the frequency of cleaning was the price. I would like to use it again if I have a chance.

My family and I truly enjoyed staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Higashiyama during our recent trip to Japan. We found the rooms clean and elegant and the food in the restaurant to be very good. However the one thing that truly stood out was the warm and gracious service we received during our stay. Service: The service we received was truly above and beyond expectations. We had flown in on a red-eye flight from Singapore the night before our stay and were dead tired by the time we got to the hotel. The next day, we realized that our camera was missing and checked with the hotel if someone had turned it in. The front desk told us no one had, but then proceeded to help us trace back our steps to the last time we saw our camera at a restaurant in the Osaka airport. They then proceeded to call the restaurant for us and helped schedule a pick-up time for us at the airport lost and found. We are forever grateful for the hotel's front desk's help in finding our camera! Location: The hotel is conveniently located in the Higashiyama area of Kyoto. From the hotel, we were able to easily take short cab rides to local sites such as Kiyomizu-dera and the Kyoto National Museum. The hotel is also conveniently located near Kiyomizu-Gojō Station. Rooms: The rooms were absolutely spotless and clean. The beds were comfortable with thick bedding (perfect since the weather was on the cool side when we were there). The restroom was also split between a room containing the shower and tub with the toilet in a separate room. Dining: At the hotel, we had dinner one night and breakfast the two mornings we were there. Everything that we tried was very well prepared and delicious. At dinner we ordered a variety of plates to share including a salad, pasta, fish dish, and dessert. Breakfast was served in buffet format and included a variety of both Japanese and Western options. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future!

This restaurant must be praised. The location is very good. It is next to the Michelin-rated Ramen Pork Noodles. It is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Kyoto. It is very convenient for going out, taking a bus, eating, or going to Kamogawa. It is only 10 meters away from Pork Noodles. You can get a waiting ticket at noon and lie down in the hotel to enjoy the air conditioning. When the time comes, you can walk in directly without waiting. It is so comfortable.
