Hotel New Hankyu Kyoto

It was spotless and super clean - this is always the most important criteria for me. The beds and especially the tatami style kids bed were very comfortable. (We like firm beds) The location is unbeatable if you plan to have many day trips while in Kyoto and plan to take public transportation- Kyoto station (JR including Haruka express, subway, buses, taxi) is just across the street. just as an example we went to Arashiyama(30 mins), Nara (under an hour), Fushimi Inari Tori gates (15 mins), nijo castle (15 mins) and could have easily made day trips further to Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, and even Hiroshima if we wanted to take advantage of the shinkansen 🚄 it is a key factor that the hotel is located north of the station walking through the nice porta with food and shopping options without having to get wet on rainy days from station to hotel, with Isetan above the porta to its south and more shopping malls and the beautiful Higashi Hongan-ji in the north (we had a view of the temple straight from our window!), and kyoto tower to its east. While there’s no lack of food options around, It’s always nice to have multiple options right at the hotel when you’re too tired to walk after a long day or just want to eat before heading out for your daily quests. Both the buffet and kyoto kaiseki style breakfast were very pleasant!

Hotel breakfast is too expensive, so decided to breakfast at cafe across the street.

Great place especially when you have huge luggage as it’s directly in front of the station. Clean place and the staff was making the beds and cleaning the place every day so it was nice to see the room like new every evening. A big window that gives the view of the whole station and the street, Great morning and night views at least in our room. Beds were very comfortable too. Good place for 3-4 people.

The location! It is literally right in front of Kyoto Station. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is well maintained and clean. Our room was cleaned everyday which is honestly a blessing after a long exhausting day of exploring. You also have an option to have an eco clean instead or choose not to have your room clean if you prefered. We booked the adjoining room for the 4 of us - couple with a toddler and a female adult, there was definitely enough space for all of us plus our 4 luggages. Happy to stay here again!

I got a room and one of the beds was a mattress on a block of wood and when I told them I wasn’t comfortable on it they changed us immediately. Staff are lovely and friendly and very accommodating. Room are very comfortable and large enough. Location wise is excellent is in the middle of everything or a small walk away and right across the road from the train station. Plenty of shops and restaurants near by. Vending machines on every floor and ice and water. Toiletries are in the lobby and you can help yourself also tea and coffee are free at the front desk. Very clean hotel.
