Around Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Garden × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

From the warm welcome to check-in, breakfast, and check-out, the service was truly pleasant at every moment. They even kept our stay history from four years ago, and I was genuinely impressed when they asked, “Would you like the same morning newspaper as last time?”—such thoughtful attention to detail. I also asked for photos many times, and every staff member kindly took them without hesitation. And the breakfast—what you expect from Brighton—was absolutely delicious and very satisfying! I understand renovations will be starting soon, and I’m truly looking forward to staying again at the newly refreshed Brighton Hotel.

Thank you for taking care of us every year. Each time we visit, we’re reminded how wonderful ROKU is, and we leave already wanting to come back. The staff are always courteous and calm, which makes us feel at ease. We also enjoy dinner every time; the seasonal menu is delicious and something we look forward to. This time in particular, the melon parfait was outstanding. There is just one thing that always leaves us a little disappointed. I don’t mean to act like a regular, but when checking in or being shown to our Room, we are often treated as if it were our first stay. If our stay history could be shared among the staff so that you could welcome us accordingly, it would make us feel even better. I’m not trying to compare with other places, but because this is a Hotel we truly love and where we are always treated well, it can feel a bit lonely at times.

This was my first time staying in this Room with two generations of our family, our dog, and our first grandchild, although I have stayed here many times before. It did feel a bit small for all of us, but we enjoyed an evening walk around the grounds on a midsummer night, dinner at Ohran was the right choice, and we fully enjoyed the in-room open-air bath and the large public bath for a truly fulfilling stay. The staff at check-in and all other staff were very kind, and we returned home completely satisfied.

It was a wonderful stay, and I was very satisfied, with the unique aesthetic of architect Togo Murano felt throughout. The Hotel is surrounded by lush nature, making it pleasant to enjoy a relaxing walk. At the same time, taking the subway gets you to the city center in about 15 minutes, so access is very convenient. The breakfast I had been looking forward to offered just the right variety for both Western and Japanese options, and everything was delicious. Although I don’t usually wear provided pajamas, they matched the Hotel’s refined atmosphere perfectly, so I enjoyed wearing them this time. The walk from the elevator to my room was a bit long, but being able to stroll while admiring the beautiful courtyard view through the windows made even that travel time feel like a relaxing moment.

We chose this Accommodation for a 3-night Multiple Night Stay because it can host three pets, has parking, and the hinoki bath was the deciding factor. During the day, we left our pets at a nearby pet house and fully enjoyed sightseeing in Kyoto by rental bicycle. Coming back to the Accommodation and relaxing in the hinoki bath to soothe our tiredness was the best! Also, there was a supermarket nearby, so we had no trouble with meals. The staff were very kind, and we would like to stay again next year. Thank you very much.

I stayed in a smoking Deluxe Single Room. The Room was thoroughly cleaned down to every detail, and I had a very comfortable stay. I accidentally left something behind, but they kindly assisted me over the phone, and this is a wonderful Hotel with a high level of satisfaction in every aspect. Whenever I visit Kyoto, I will definitely stay here again.

My spouse and I, an older couple, stayed for one night. It was quiet thanks to the location just off a small side street, the front desk staff were kind and helpful, and the Room was very clean. We parked our car at the coin-operated parking lot next door. We enjoyed a morning walk in the Kyoto Imperial Palace Park. It seems you can also have breakfast at a shop inside the park from 8:00 a.m. Some people may feel that the Hotel is a bit far from the station or that there isn’t a convenience store nearby, but for us—living somewhere much less convenient—it didn’t bother us at all (laughs). Everything was so great that we made another Reservation for a few months from now. That’s about it.

I stayed here with two cats. The litter and a litter box were provided, which was great. The Facility was very clean, and I had a comfortable stay. I would definitely like to use it again.

The moment I stepped into the Room, I couldn’t help but say, “Wow!” It was spacious, spotless, and truly amazing. The large, beautiful living space was wonderful, and the bathroom and vanity area were also incredibly stylish. The bath even had microbubbles, and the shower fixtures were uniquely placed and very chic. Everything in the refrigerator and the snacks were free. There were also delicious Ajari Mochi in the Room—such thoughtful hospitality in every detail. And it wasn’t just stylish and clean: there were two power outlets by each side of the bed, plenty of outlets throughout, a full-length mirror that was easy to use, and pajamas that were extremely comfortable—everything was simply outstanding. The service was polite and kind, making my stay very comfortable. Breakfast delivered to the Room featured delicious dishes from Sensan. It came in a bento box, but the rice was warm and the soup was piping hot—truly delicious. I was moved by such an elegant breakfast. The view from the Room was also stunningly beautiful. I’m so happy I got to stay here. Thank you very much.

It was a full moon night, and it was very quiet—yet not lonely at all. I took a short walk in the evening, and the beautiful streetscape made my stay truly pleasant. I could even walk to the shrine I had wanted to visit, which made this one of my most wonderful trips to Kyoto. Thank you very much.

I’m glad I chose the best course where I could enjoy something like a tilefish bouillabaisse. The next day, I had scorpionfish at another restaurant, so it was truly wonderful to experience the delicate flavor of tilefish that I hadn’t known before. I look forward to enjoying the kama bath even more next time!

Thank you for your hospitality. The place was clean, and the room had a table, allowing me to study until the last minute. It was quiet and comfortable. Although carrying my suitcase up to the room was a bit challenging, I plan to stay again as long as my legs are strong enough. This time, I stayed here for Kyoto University's graduate school entrance exam, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. On the exam day, there were delays due to an accident on JR lines, causing some people to be late. Being so close to Kyoto University was incredibly helpful that day. Thanks to this stay, I passed the exam! I look forward to staying here again with my family in the future. Thank you very much!

We stayed as a family of three. It felt like staying in a regular one-room apartment. There is no front desk, which gives a dry impression, but it was actually more comfortable as we didn't have to be overly considerate. Meals are not provided, but it was enjoyable to find places to eat nearby, all unique to Kyoto. The Seimei Shrine, which is just a short walk away, seems to offer some blessings. There is a parking lot next door, but it's a bit expensive, so we parked a little further away. We hardly heard any noise from other rooms and slept soundly until morning. If we have the chance, we would definitely like to use it again.

I stayed here with six mom friends.\nIt was a cozy space that preserved the charm of a traditional machiya while offering modern Facility.\nA luxurious catered meal was delivered from nearby, and we were able to enjoy an elegant and fun time.\nThis time we stayed for one night, but everyone agrees that next time we’d like to enjoy a Multiple Night Stay.\nThank you again, and we look forward to staying with you again.

We received several calls in advance, and at check-in, we were welcomed with a charcoal hearth and matcha tea served by the host. The surprising bath facilities allowed us to relax fully.
