Set just 2.5 km from Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, Zen Kyoto Apartment Hotel features accommodation in Kyoto with access to a terrace, a bar, as well as a concierge service. Complimentary WiFi is offered throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The accommodation offers a lift, full-day security and luggage storage for guests.

Zen Kyoto Hotel and Apartment made our winter here super comfortable. The room is thoughtfully designed with everything you need for both short and longer stays. The kitchen is well equipped. Heating works well. There's a washing machine - there's no dryer but the bathroom has a dehumidifying clothes drying setting that dries your clothes in a few hours. Better than a dryer as it doesn't shrink your sweaters! The staff is lovely. The building is a short easy walk to the train station. Great value for money. We'd definitely stay again.

It felt like home. It was true, quaint and traditionally Japanese ryokan experience. Upon check in we were greeted with tea and sweets, as well as a full overview provided by our hosts. It was very informative and made us feel right at home! The location was also great - right next to many frequented bus stops

The manager is very friendly, and the location is just too peaceful, near two metro stations. The room was bigger than in others hotels, and so comfy, I really will come back for sure!

Located in Kyoto, 1.1 km from Nijo Castle and 1.7 km from the centre, Rinn Shiki Juraku provides air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi, and a garden. This 4-star holiday home offers full-day security and luggage storage space. Guests can enjoy quiet street views.

This is a great place to stay for when you want to have your own private quiet space (and a bit more space than a typical hotel room), but still want to be cared for by hotel-like staff. We landed on this place because I wanted to stay in a typical Ryokan, but my husband wanted his own bathroom. It was the best stay of our Japan trip out of 3 hotels that were all far above average. It feels very secluded and private, there are around 10 apartments in total and everyone has their own entrance. There's a coin washing machine as well. There is a small breakfast buffet with really great coffee and they provide some free snacks during the day as well I believe. All in all it feels really kind and caring.

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, 祇園の宿 杏花 is located in Kyoto, 300 metres from Gion Shijo Station and 600 metres from Samurai Kembu Kyoto. Among the facilities at this property are full-day security and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The ryokan features family rooms.

Cannot recommend Gion Kyoka enough. Actually, I'd prefer to give a negative review to prevent everyone from booking this lovely ryokan in the most amazing location in Gion Kyoto. Their team went above and beyond to make arrangements for our party at temples like Saiho-ji. Thank you Miyata-san and the rest of your staff for making our stay exceptional. I hope to visit again soon.

    The location is brilliant, just a short walk from Kyoto train station and an excellent AEON mall (complete with restaurants, a supermarket, bookshop, Daiso and Village Vanguard). Check-in and check-out was smooth, the complimentary toiletries were generous and the room was cosy, with a very comfortable bed and great view. As usual when it comes to accommodation in Japan, it was clean, felt safe and was highly convenient. We'd definitely come back again!

    This is a wonderful place and anyone who is looking for an authentic ryokan experience should not be put off by the shared bathroom facilities - they are comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food is wonderful and the hosts are totally charming. The inn backs on to a river and the village and the countryside around is very attractive. It’s very easy to get to on public transport and a pleasant bus ride up the river valley from the metro station in Kyoto. Don’t hesitate to. Highly recommended.

    Everything about the property was divine! The apartment has everything you could possibly need for a holiday home and all the appliances and fittings are new and great quality. My family stayed in one of the two bedroom apartments and it felt very spacious. The biggest bonus was having two toilets! Such a luxury! We loved the location which is close to Gion with lots of restaurant options and close to bus routes.
