It's close to the main shopping street. The staff is very friendly and always tried to help when we walked by the reception. There is a small chill out area at the lobby and also a hangout room next to the lobby. Surprisingly there's also a gym!

Highly recommended! Perfect and great in every sense, especially the staff!. We can't thank enough the staff during our stay. My wife got sick and needed to go to hospital. The staff were with us through it all. We could communicate in English fluently with all the staff present and one of the staff even came all the way with us to the hospital to serve as a translator since it was a Sunday and we couldn't find a hospital with a translator. To all the staff at Kabin Kyoto we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! God bless you!

Everything was exceptional! Facilities and rooms were new, featuring modern design and high quality materials. The bed was comfortable and cleaning service exceptional. The restaurant and bar area is cosy and perfect for a meal/drink after sightseeing! Staff did a great job, always attending to requests with kindness and professionalism! The hotel is located near Kyoto station (access to Shinkansen rapid service and Osaka airport via Haruka Express JR train). It is also located within a comfortable walking distance to Kyoto downtown area and Gion.

Location is ideal. Nice and cozy restaurants 3-5 min away hidden in alleys. The lounge is a fantastic idea, where you can finish your day with a beer, Sake, and snacks. Room size is good with coffee machine (Nespresso). Clean, neat and friendly staff. The breakfast is also great with two choices (meat or fish) made with the delicate Japanese touch

Everything was lovely, including spacious (for Kyoto) room, amenities, free quality tea (from Ippodo!) in room, the lounge with free snacks and drinks. The hotel itself is small, so you feel genuine attention to each guest. Insane value for money.

    We don’t often stay in ‘nice hotels’ so this was such a treat. The service is truly 5 stars. The hotel itself feels very luxurious through every touch. It was nice to have the swimming pool as being Summer and Aussies, we had missed being able to have a splash. Tattoos needed to be covered up, but it was open all day without reservations which was great compared to other hotels. Our view overlooked a Temple, the Kyoto Tower and some mountains. Room was spacious. Location good, close enough walk to Kyoto station. We didn’t dine onsite.

    The best hotel I stayed in while in Japan. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. The detailed design and finishes of the room were outstanding. The bathroom colour for instance was an unexpected yet VERY classy. The staff was friendly and super helpful in helping me get around. I loved the reception area. Also well appointed with a beautiful stream view. The apéritivo till 10 PM was an excellent touch (sake collection, snacks, tea and coffee).
