KAYA Kyoto Nijo Castle
Kyoto Prefecture/Kyoto CityStep into the Hotel from a residential neighborhood where you can feel the spirit of Kyoto, and you’ll find a world far removed from the city’s bustle.
The warm wood-based Japanese modern interior feels new yet nostalgic, offering a calming atmosphere. Enjoy a luxurious moment away from daily life in our spacious and relaxing rooms. We offer a variety of options, from king bedrooms perfect for couples to family-friendly rooms with low beds on raised platforms. Conveniently located within a 10-minute walk from Karasuma Line "Marutamachi Station" or Tozai Line "Nijojo-mae Station," and just a 2-minute walk from the "Horikawa Marutamachi" bus stop. The name “KAYA” originates from the residence of Prince Kaya (the seventh son of Emperor Kanmu) that once stood here. Why not take a moment to reflect on the ancient times?
I stayed here because I was curious about it as a Hotel under Polaris HD. The Room felt smaller than I expected, but the furnishings and amenities were excellent, and I had a comfortable stay. The view from the Room is of a residential area, so it is not particularly impressive, but the building itself is clean and well maintained. Breakfast featured a wide selection of carefully prepared dishes with good nutritional balance, and everything was very delicious.It is a bit far from the station, so access was the only drawback, but overall I think it offers great value for money.
わだりゅうじ 7/20/2026There were welcome sweets, Jill Stuart amenities, and the Room was spacious and spotless. The drink selection was also excellent—perfect for a girls’ trip. I was especially happy that there were sweets and drink services at the breakfast venue.When I asked the front desk for dinner recommendations, they lent me a file with various restaurant options. It included comments as well, which was very helpful when choosing where to eat.
