This hotel is recommended by a famous travel guide and for the solo traveller it ticks all the boxes. If you arrive at Kyoto by train, exit the station so when you look to your left you will see the post office in the distance, buses in front of you and the bus ticket and info office to your right....

Stayed here in June 2010 while travelling in Japan with my partner. This hotel was a great find. Had to catch the bus there from the main Kyoto station, but was easy enough to find, right on the main street. Shops and food outlets at the doorstop and one block away from the big shopping market/plaza area. Staff were friendly... More

Smack in the middle of all the action, Hotel Unizo Kyoto was an excellent base camp from which to explore kyoto. Smallest room of our japan trip, but had all the amenities we needed. Beds were very comfortable, coffee shop downstairs for breakfast. One block up and two blocks over from the river and pontocho alley for great restaurants and... More

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in December 2008. It is a business type hotel so not much of a Japanese feel, but it was very clean and convenient. Not all staff spoke English – but they did try to assist and had a good collection of tourist information in English in the lobby. We really liked the... More

Stayed end of Oct and booked through their website. Location is near shops and 10min walk to a choice of 3 railway stations. Buses go past hotel though stops are not much closer than train station. Staff were friendly and most could speak enough English to answer questions. Rooms are small and the bathroom was the smallest one we'd had... More

For approximately AUD$80 per night for a semidouble room with bathroom this is great value! Located only a short distance from Shijo-Kawaramachi station, a short taxi ride to Kyoto station, and within walking distance to Pontocho, Gion, The Imperial Palace and Nijo castle. The area it is in is very vibrant, with lots of shops and restaurants, and a couple... More

Had trouble finding the hotel because they had just changed their name - but the locals were very helpful. The Hotel is a bit old and very basic - good selection of vending machines on each floor and a laundry room for guest use (not readily available in Japan). The staff were very accomidating and eager to be helpful -... More

Kyoto has a higher cost of living than Osaka nearby. Therefore, it is often that their hotel room rates are comparative to Tokyo's. This hotel is considered good budget. Set in the most happening area -- it is within walking distance to Pontocho and Nishiki market. Major department stores are closeby too. Kawaramachi subway brings you back to Osaka (Umeda... More

A nice hotel situated on the busy Kawaramachi-dori shopping street. Great location for Maruyama-koen, Gion and Shojo station. It's about 15 minutes (including the walk) to Kyoto station, and there are buses galore on the street outside. As with most Japanese hotels, space is at a premium. But what there is is very clean and tidy. Attention to detail is... More
