This is our Best Value pick in Kyoto. It suits first-time visitors, couples and families who plan to use trains and buses to reach the sights. The property lists family rooms. Guests rate it 9.1 out of 10 from 3,989 reviews, a very large sample.
Skip it if you want to stroll to the famous temples from the lobby. Most of the big names are a long walk away.
Location and getting around
The address is Minami-ku Nishkujyo Shimamachi 54-1, in Minami Ward. Guests describe a quiet area near Toji Temple and a mall, within walking distance of the main station. They also say it is directly opposite Toji Station and bus stops, one stop from the central hub. The location score is 9.0.
Straight-line walking estimates: Fushimi Inari-taisha is 2.3 km away, about 29 minutes on foot. Kiyomizu-dera is 3.4 km, around 43 minutes, so it is far and public transport or a taxi makes sense. Kinkaku-ji is 7.1 km away, roughly 89 minutes, which is a ride, not a walk.
What guests say
Reviews focus on two points. The area is quiet, with Toji Temple and a mall nearby and the main station within walking distance. Transport is the other: a station and bus stops right opposite the hotel.
