The best place to stay . Love it, good service, good breakfast.
A quiet area, hotel has a wonderful traditional Japanese breakfast included.
Room we booked for 3, good enough space for 3 huge suitcases.
Highly recommend this place!
This was such a nice and clean hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Not sure if this matters to anyone, but for me it did, this hotel does have AC that you can control from your room. Most hotels in Japan only offer heating. It was in a nice location close to tons of food spots and a quick taxi ride to temples and shopping!
We loved KAYA. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The location isn’t ideal if you’re wanting to be closer to the tourist area, but we enjoyed walking and finding new spots to try. Staff were so helpful and all their amenities were helpful.
The hotel is super modern and clean. Only stayed for 1 night but the staff was super helpful and they had an English speaking employee at the desk to assist us. They held the bags and put them in our room since we arrived early. The guest reception was nice with snacks and drinks. We didn’t use the gym but everything seemed to be in good working order.
Great location, tucked away near Nijo Castle and a short direct walk to the subway. We had a great experience with local restaurants. Beautiful inside and out, with great amenities.
My family and I stayed here for 4 nights and we all loved it. The rooms were immaculate, comfortable and spacious. It was in an excellent location, minutes away from the station, bus, grocery store, restaurants and to the Nijo Castle, which I highly recommend you visit. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto!

Nice spacious room and the breakfast buffet was Delicious
Great interior design. The king size bed was lovely. Water pressure was fantastic. Enjoyed the coffee and small snacks during the day. Very helpful staff.
Our stay was a wonderful and relaxing experience. The staff were characteristic of authentic Japanese service and hospitality while being warm and inviting. Our room was quiet and comfortable with plenty of amenities and services. We will always choose KAYA Kyoto Nijo Castle while staying in Kyoto.
You will have to take the subway, which is about a 10 or 25min walk from the hotel, depending on which station, in order to get to the city center. You can also uber and it’s not expensive. The neighborhood is peaceful and safe — with some great restaurants! I personally loved everything about staying here. The staff is so friendly and the hotel is extremely clean and comfortable. From 3-6pm, they offer free wine, sake, coffee, juice, and snacks!
Beautiful traditional style rooms, and really lovely staff. The only niggle is that the restaurant is tiny and wildly overpriced at over 3500 yen for breakfast— you can do much better (half price) if you go down the road to a cafe.
A very nice hotel at a convenient location. Beautiful spacious room (Signature De Luxe) with 2 big beds, a window that could be opened for fresh air, a nice bathroom with separate wc and shower. Superb breakfast and very friendly staff. Only one point to improve: the smoking area close to the beautiful entrance should be closed immediately. Does not fit to this eco hotel. We will be back!
