The hotel itself was amazing and comfortable. Very clean and spacious. It is a bit away from nearby stations and the Nishiki market so be prepared to walk.

WAI ZEE, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Large room for a Japanese hotel. Room was clean and very comfortable. 10-15 minute walk from the centre of the action. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Luggage delivery available from the front desk and was a good deal (approx 5000yen from Kyoto to hotel in Tokyo) Would stay again.
Daniel, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Newer hotel in central Kyoto near the Hankyu and subway stations. JR station is about 20 to 30 minutes away by subway or bus but the Hankyu railway gives you direct access to Osaka Umeda. Nice room good for short stay, room has a shower booth without a tub. and lacks a good chair.

Enjoyed welcome drink, good location with less crowded. Good facilities in the room.
Hong Seob, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Grocery store nearby and great food options are nearby. Beds and overall room is great. They have paid breakfast but also a free breakfast with sugar, waffles and some bread and a toaster oven. The overall hotel doesn't really look like a hotel from the outside, as inside they have a bar facing the outside and then the check-in is a little deeper in so that was a little hard to find
Andrew, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the big bed and the shower room, both were very spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and had both japanese and english speaking staff.
Cassandra, 3-night trip

Really nice staff with good sized rooms. Not many amenities, but they were not really necessary.
Mario, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love this hotel. It is very safe, there are a big grocery store within a few feet, easy access to the bus station, walkable distance to Shijo subway station, Nijo Castle, and Don Quijote(this one is about 20 min walk, doable.) The room is clean, the price is reasonable and staff is super helpful and friendly. I totally recommand this hotel.

Kyoto Agora

The best hotel from our Japan trip! Made us really fall in love with Kyoto. For a modern hotel it really emanates a traditional spirit. We had an entry way, with seperate rooms for toilet, shower and bedroom with a sliding door. The furnishings were great, and it was incredible comfortable. We almost didn’t want to leave!
