สถานีคาราสุมะ × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่ได้รับการจัดอันดับสูง

For the past several years, it has become my tradition to stay here alone for one night after finishing work in Kyoto every six months. After check-in, I head straight to the Premium Lounge to relax with a drink and enjoy some well-deserved “me time.” This time, the snacks to go with the drinks felt a little upgraded too... The breakfast buffet is another highlight. The many Kyoto-style obanzai dishes, neatly served in small plates, soothe me the next morning... It also feels like there were even more options than last time—what a treat! I take my time and enjoy a kind of luxury I can’t usually have in everyday life as a homemaker. Now, back to work—so I can look forward to this happiness again in six months!

I stayed here a few years ago and was very satisfied with the comfort and convenient location, so I chose to stay again for this trip to Kyoto. Just like last time, the staff’s hospitality, the spacious Room, and the cleanliness were all excellent. I would love to stay here again on my next visit to Kyoto. Thank you for your wonderful service.

From the Kyoto-style entrance to the lobby, the calm atmosphere and smiling staff make you feel warmly welcomed. I stayed on the 5th floor of this five-story Hotel. There is a large public bath, and the artificial carbonated water bath feels gentle and soothing for tiredness. For breakfast, you can choose one main dish from four options, with the rest served buffet-style. Every menu item was delicious, and the overall food quality was impressively high. I also received a souvenir voucher, which was a lovely gift. This Hotel is conveniently located near Hankyu Karasuma Station and Shijo Subway Station. Kyoto touches are thoughtfully incorporated throughout the Hotel. I think it’s a perfect base for sightseeing in Kyoto.

Although I live in Kyoto City, I chose this Hotel because I wanted to enjoy an Onsen and a delicious breakfast close by without traveling far. The result was a truly wonderful stay that left me completely satisfied and thinking, “I definitely want to come back!” The cute yet elegant, almost overseas-like atmosphere lifted my spirits the moment I arrived. The door leading to the guest Room floors requires you to tap your Room key card, which felt secure and luxurious. I also enjoyed the organic drip coffee in my Room as a welcome drink, and it instantly made me feel relaxed and happy. As for the Onsen—what a treat! I enjoyed it three times: in the evening, before bed, and again in the morning. I was especially delighted by the complimentary beer service at the spa lounge available with bathing until 6:00 p.m. I drank about half in the lounge and took the rest back to my Room; enjoying it while watching Kyoto’s cityscape shift from dusk into neon-lit night through the window was simply perfect. What impressed me most during this stay was breakfast! When entering the venue, as soon as the receptionist greeted me cheerfully, all of the staff inside welcomed me with “Good morning,” which instantly made me feel excited. Even though I was dining alone, their thoughtful hospitality felt warm, and I remained comfortable throughout. Every dish—Japanese and Western—was truly delicious. From freshly made dashimaki tamago prepared by the chef to Kyoto-style obanzai side dishes and detox water, I enjoyed sampling many different items little by little. Their smart service—quietly clearing empty plates each time I stood up—was also very pleasant, and before I knew it, an hour had passed as I savored breakfast. This may have been one of the most satisfying breakfasts I've ever had. Since checkout is at 11:00 a.m., it was also a great memory being able to visit nearby Rokkakudo Temple after breakfast. This is truly a treasure of a Hotel—easy to reach by public transportation, with high-quality Onsen facilities and an outstanding breakfast that leaves you feeling refreshed. I'd love to recommend it to friends around me, and I'll definitely be back myself! Thank you for such a lovely time.

I stayed at this Hotel in June. I arrived a little before check-in, so I asked at the front desk if they could store my luggage, and they kindly did so. The bubuzuke service was right near the end of the serving time, but there were many topping options and I left feeling full. I didn’t use the morning smoothie service or the drinks/snacks from 3 p.m., nor the alcohol service, but overall the services were good. The Hotel’s location was great and convenient for getting to the Shijo area. There were plenty of affordable and tasty izakaya and other restaurants nearby, so finding places to eat wasn’t a problem. If I had to mention something, the water in the large public bath was quite hot, and some foreign guests left hair dryers in use so others couldn’t use them when they wanted to. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had. It was such a satisfying Hotel that even if you came alone, you could easily enjoy everything without needing to go elsewhere.

Kyoto offers many different ways to enjoy your stay depending on the area you choose and the character of each Hotel. This was my first time staying at this Hotel, and it is in a very convenient location just a short distance from Shijo-Karasuma, which can be considered the center of downtown Kyoto. It’s only a few minutes’ walk from the station whether you arrive by Hankyu Railway or the subway. Nearby are places like Goodman Roaster Kyoto and Unzen, as well as many wonderful cafes and coffee shops that have opened over the past few years—just visiting them is enjoyable in itself. Ogaki Shoten (Main Store), with its large and unique selection of magazines and books, is also close by, and Daimaru is within walking distance. There are also grocery supermarkets such as Fresco and Moritaya right nearby, making this a great area for spending time as if you live in Kyoto. Since the Hotel opened in 2019, both the Facilities and Room interiors still feel new and were very comfortable. The Room I stayed in wasn’t particularly large, but the layout was well designed so it didn’t feel cramped. It had a comfortable bed and a fairly large sofa, and the bathroom had a spacious bathtub, which made my stay very relaxing. I stayed on the 4th floor this time, and the view from the window wasn’t great due to nearby apartment buildings; however, that’s common for Hotels in central Kyoto and can’t really be helped. With that in mind, I felt it might even be fine to choose a Room on a lower floor. Breakfast didn’t have an especially wide variety of items, but everything gave me the impression of being properly prepared. I especially liked the large-bean natto. The staff at both reception and breakfast were very polite yet friendly. Overall, I found this to be a very satisfying Hotel. I was impressed that they maintain this level of service at this price point. In Kyoto I usually make hotels around City Hall or west of the Imperial Palace my regular choices, but I would like to add this Hotel to that list as well. Thank you again—I look forward to staying here again.

Just before boarding the return Shinkansen from Kyoto Station, service was suspended due to an accident at Hamamatsu Station. With no indication of when operations would resume, I waited inside the station for over an hour, but eventually gave up and decided to stay one more night in Kyoto. This was my first time staying at this Hotel, and I chose it because it has a large public bath. Being able to stay here truly helped me out. The bath was spacious and clean, and I was able to relax my tired body at ease.

After the renovation, everything felt refreshed and very comfortable! I’d like to stay here again on my next business trip.

August 6 is the day for a collective visit to our family grave in Kyoto, and I have stayed here for the past three years. The location is convenient (I travel to Kyoto by Hankyu Railway from Osaka Itami Airport), the price is reasonable, and there is a large public bath where I can relax. I’m also happy that it seems there are more Western-style options on the breakfast menu. I plan to stay here again next year as well.

The staff were friendly, and the Room was clean and comfortable! This time as well, we enjoyed seasonal cocktails at B1F (Bar Anchor).

The front desk staff provided a cheerful and prompt service during check-in (apparently a first-year new graduate). The restaurant staff showed great attentiveness and care. It seems that the hotel has an excellent recruitment and training system in place. I look forward to visiting again.

I booked with No Meals Included and didn’t expect too much for the price, but it exceeded my expectations in the best way. First, the front desk staff were incredibly courteous and impressive. The Room was spacious, spotless, and came with a bathtub. While the public bath isn’t large enough to be called a big bathhouse, it was perfect for soaking slowly in warm water. I honestly found myself thinking, “Is it really okay to stay here on a weekend for this price?”—almost feeling guilty. This time I didn’t add breakfast due to my plans the next day, but it looked very delicious. When we stopped by in the evening to pick up our stored luggage, you kindly lent us towels because we were soaked from a sudden heavy downpour. From start to finish, it was truly a Hotel full of outstanding hospitality. Thank you very much.

Great location and very convenient. The in-room facilities are a bit dated, but everything is clean and more than satisfactory. I booked a single, but the bed was quite wide (possibly upgraded by the Hotel?), making it very comfortable. Having plenty of power outlets is also surprisingly useful. I really appreciate being able to check the laundry availability in real time. Excellent value for money—this has become my go-to Hotel in Kyoto, and I’ve already made Reservations for multiple stays up to a year ahead. Next time, I’ll try a plan with meals included. Thank you, and I look forward to staying again.

I was truly impressed that the Room has a private garden inside and is set up so you can make matcha tea!! The lounge also offers detox water and a matcha-making setup, making it well worth staying here even for Japanese guests or Kyoto locals. I will definitely stay again! Thank you very much!!

It was very clean and very convenient for sightseeing in Kyoto. Nishiki Market was also nearby, making shopping and dining easy. Thank you very much.

I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay. The Room was stylish and provided a calm atmosphere, and the absence of a TV allowed me to relax and escape from daily life. Although it was a shower-only Room without a bathtub, the water pressure was excellent, so there was no inconvenience. The meals were extremely delicious, and all the staff were kind and attentive. In particular, the restaurant staff checked in to see if I needed anything, offering very pleasant service. I would love to stay here again.

Thank you for sincerely addressing our requests. It was incredibly helpful. The Room was compact but very comfortable. The convenience was excellent, and I would love to stay again.

I stayed here on a business trip. This was my second stay, and it was very comfortable. The location is excellent, close to the subway, Hankyu line, and bus stops, and right in the city center, making it easy to get to work the next morning. The bed is spacious, so I could relax well. Both the Room and bathroom are clean. Last time, breakfast was very delicious, so I chose a plan with breakfast again this time. The handmade rice balls are amazing. A hearty meal helps me start the day feeling energized. The staff at both the front desk and dining area provide great service, which makes me feel at ease. I would like to stay here again.

This was my first stay, and it was so good I honestly wondered if the price was really correct. The Room was simple but stylish, and I loved the atmosphere. Everyone at the front desk was very kind. I will definitely stay again!

It was a Multiple Night Stay, and the front desk staff were polite and kind, which made me feel at ease. Thank you for storing my luggage until the evening even after checkout. I had a lot of luggage, so it was very helpful. Since it was extremely hot, the drink service on the first floor was much appreciated.
