It's a great place to stay especially if you are going to visit Fushimi Inari, since the hotel is only about a 15 minute walk from the main gate, so you can leave in the middle of the night or early morning to beat the crowds without having to take any buses or trains. It's located right by a river which is also nice for night walks,...

Top Kyoto Racecourse Hotel Reviews

Rihga Gran Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Located only a few blocks from Kyoto Station. Room was quiet and comfortable. Onsite onsen was nice for relaxation"

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"Nicely located across from the main train station used by many large tour operators . The restaurant is crowded due to this reason for breakfast . Very friendly staff , large size rooms for Asia . No flexibility in check in or checkout time"

HOTEL ELCIENT KYOTO HACHIJOGUCHI

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and super functional. Hotel is conveniently located close to train station. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Sauna is an extra perk."

APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori

10/10 Excellent

"Clean property with a great location"

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi

8/10 Good

"We loved the location of this hotel. Just south of Kyoto Station, which let us explore the region at ease. There were tons of restaurants nearby (close to the hotel, and near the Station). The room was actually quite spacious! (Especially compared the the hotel we had in Tokyo.) The two twin beds, while individually quite small, could be pushed together and make enough room for a family of 4 (two adults, two children under age 7). Amenities were nice (available in the lobby, some available for rent for free). As well, staff were all kind and helpful, particularly the breakfast staff. We were pleased with this hotel! Only a couple of cons. We paid to have breakfast included and while we really liked it the first day, after a 6 night stay it started to get old as none of the food was changed, but we have come to expect this after our trip to Japan. Consider trying the breakfast for a few days but don't depend on it for a long trip. The staff at breakfast was wonderful, however! My biggest complaint is the room did not offer a nice view (facing south, lower floor) but the opposite side seemed to have a glimpse of a nice view featuring buildings, temples an greenery/mountains in the background. We should have asked for a better view but were staying with friends in a nearby room. And finally, the hotel did have more of a corporate/business feel and we would probably want to stay somewhere with more personality and more 'traditional' if staying in Kyoto in the future."

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Very well situated near Kyoto station. Friendly and welcoming staff. My room was larger than expected. Clean and well kept. Added bonus of free tea and ice cream in the restaurant area all afternoon and a glass of beer or wine in the evening."

Sakura Terrace

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was like a Brunch" display- excellent! All the staff were very helpful Courtesy drink provided. nightly"

Ariston Hotel Kyoto Jujo

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, but a bit far from Kyoto station area. Close to Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine which was a plus. Carpeting in the room could be better maintained and breakfast selection compared to many other hotels is lacking. Overall a good budget hotel option."

Hotel Fine Garden Kyoto Minami

8/10 Good

"Staff was helpful and nice. Its an old love hotel, but it was perfect even for an 3week tourism tour. Industrial neighborhood far from the downtown restaurant and nightlife."
