Hotels near Kimono Forest

Great hotel on a quiet street in Shijo. Front desk team was very helpful and friendly. very comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The downstairs area by the elevators smelled of cigarettes, but it wasn’t the end of the world. The breakfast selection was very slim pickings, but still great nonetheless! I would definitely reccomend and would absolutely stay here again!

Since many of Kyoto’s main attractions are relatively short taxi rides apart, the hotel’s location was excellent for getting around. It was ideally situated and made traveling between the sights very convenient.

The hotel is conveniently located within the station, making it very easy to travel to different places. It was a little difficult to find the hotel at first, but once we found it, everything was very convenient. The accommodation was comfortable, and the surrounding environment was pleasant.

cleanliness: A++ hotel location: near walking Kyoto trains station transport access: they have a bus to location like bamboo forest ant others places. A++ service: excellent

The hotel is near Kyoto Station, but Kyoto Station is quite large. It's closer to the electric railway side, not the JR side, requiring a 5-minute walk. The hotel is big and very busy. It offers self-service check-in and check-out machines, free luggage storage, and each floor has ice machines, water dispensers, and vending machines. The rooms are spacious and clean. Staff members always greet you when they pass by, indicating excellent service. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed that every room also provides an iron and ironing board.

One of the best places to stay in Kyoto, with an excellent location near Marutamachi Station and very convenient access to Kyoto Station as well as nearby attractions within walking distance. The hotel room was very spacious, with a separate sit-out sofa near the window and a distinct bathing area, which made the stay feel more comfortable and well-planned. Another thoughtful feature was the 24-hour free drinking water machine near the reception, which was very convenient throughout the stay. Overall, it was a very comfortable and practical hotel choice in Kyoto.

Awesome hotel. The staff and restaurant are amazing as well. Will definitely stay again the next time we are in Kyoto.

Initially, I was just looking for Japanese-style accommodation, and I saw many bloggers recommending Umekoji Kadensho. Then, I saw that bicycles were available for rent, so I booked it. I managed to book a double room for three nights on Klook for just over 9,000 yen, which was quite a bargain! 😍 The conclusion is that there were no bicycles available for rent, but all other facilities were very satisfying. The public bath was extremely clean and had a wonderful atmosphere, making my first time bathing openly with others completely comfortable. I even bathed day and night! The private bath was relatively more ordinary but perfect for families and couples, and also suitable for those who are not comfortable bathing openly with others. 🫶🏻 The hotel also offers many free snacks and ramen, as well as free yukata for guests to try on, which is definitely worth experiencing. I highly recommend Umekoji Kadensho! Since my itinerary involved early departures, I didn't include breakfast in my booking this time, but I did add breakfast for the last day. Personally, I don't think it was the best value for money, but it's still worth trying. 👍🏻

Pros: 1. Convenient location, about a 5-minute walk from the tram station. 2. There's a 7-Eleven nearby, which is handy for stocking up. 3. The staff are very friendly and professional; basic communication in English is not a problem. 4. There are many restaurant options downstairs, and the wagyu restaurant's lunch is an excellent value! There's also a small shopping mall to browse. 5. The railway museum and aquarium are nearby, making it very family-friendly. Cons: There are only 4 self-service washing machines, which is far too few. This means guests often have to wait in line, which is quite inconvenient. It would be much better if more machines could be added.
