We just got back from 8 nights in Kyoto, and I can recommend the Kyoto Garden Hotel as a very good place to stay. Spotless clean, staff members friendly and helpful, the location of the hotel is definitely great - close to the subway station (one block and a half), nice part of the town, on a quiet street, several... more

This hotel was in a very good location for transport, restaurants, and access to Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace. Although our double room was quite small, we certainly managed to fit ourselves and our gear in the room for 3 nights without making too much mess. The room was clean and the bed big enough for two. Yes, the... more

Clean rooms, large by Japan standards. On a quiet side street but easy access to subway (two blocks), taxi, restaurants and shopping. Restaurant on site. Front desk courteous and attentive. Free internet access in lobby. more

We stayed here in May 2005 and our son and his wife stayed here in May 2007. Both times brought the same reaction: great price, quiet, comfortable, good location, small but clean, nice staff and who stays in the room when you are in Kyoto!???? We would stay there again! Actually, I did have to stay in the room for... more

This hotel is at a great location, close to the subway ..approx. a block and a half away. We had a standard twin room. It is very small with a tiny bathroom. However for the price we paid, you can't complain. There is free access to the internet in the lobby (2 computers) which is very handy. The only complaint... more

We stayed at the Kyoto Garden Hotel for 3 nights. The room was nice and the location of the hotel was definitely great - close to the subway station, nice part of the town. For the price we payed (there was a summer discount, so it cost 7350 Yen per night /double room), it was definitely worth the money. Although... more

We just got back from Kyoto, and I recommend the Kyoto Garden Hotel as a great place to stay. It's an older hotel that's worn around the edges, and the bathrooms are small and could use some updating. However, our deluxe twin room was spotless, the beds were comfortable, and the staff members friendly and accommodating. They have a free... more

This hotel is across the street from the Imperial palace gardens. A wonderful location, and it is also between two subway train stations. Their rooms were lovely, but for the wired, there is only wireless internet in the lobby. Which was full of irritated folks with laptops. The view from their dining room was beautiful - a green oasis. Hard... more

Stayed at this hotel for 4 nights at the beginning of April....location was great. Only a 1 minute walk from the Karasuma Oike subway station, which is the main station for transfering between the North/South and East/West lines. Also, just 3 subway stops to Kyoto Station where all the buses and Shinkansen stop at. Also located very close to the... more
